ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for senior leaders in data science roles who have experience within technology companies or tech-adjacent environments, value learning, growth, and community and who are passionate about developing and coaching people in their field.
As a Mento coach, you will form 1:1 partnerships with our members to help them identify & track clear goals, become a better leader, communicate more effectively, problem-solve issues at work, and help them feel happy, fulfilled, and engaged at work and beyond.
All Mento coaches, regardless of coaching experience, are required to participate in our ICF-certified coach training program to learn Mento’s coaching methodology prior to working with our members. Our coach training is an immersive, transformational training designed to help you grow as a coach, master the Mento Coaching Methodology, and gain access to proprietary tools that set our coaches apart. This program is ICF-certified, and participants who successfully graduate will earn Continuing Coach Education Units. If you’re ready to elevate your coaching skills, deepen your impact, and become part of a groundbreaking coaching team, we encourage you to apply and take the next step in your journey!
Your routine responsibilities will include:
- Providing 1:1 coaching to Mento members through virtual sessions using the Mento Platform and Tools
- Participating in ongoing training sessions to improve coaching abilities and skills
