Student Success Coach

Skillify | Las Vegas, NV (Summerlin) | In-Person Role with relocation support provided!

This opportunity is for someone who's ready to dive into a fast-paced role. Someone who wants to be part of building something that matters, not just clocking hours at a job.

We're Skillify. We run career conferences and mentorship programs that help students figure out what they want to do with their lives. We've reached thousands of students across 220+ schools — and we're just getting started.

What You'll Actually Do

You'll be the coach students text when they're stuck, scared, or celebrating. You're their hype person, their accountability partner, and sometimes just the person who believes in them when no one else does.

• Support full-day, in-person high-energy workshops on career exploration, mentorship, goal-setting, and professional skills
• Connect with students 1:1 and in groups — you're approachable, memorable, someone they trust
• Coach students 1:1 virtually - we promise students personalized virtual support from 9am - 7pm PT every day and we rotate shifts 
• Respond fast (we promise students replies within 5 minutes — you make that happen)
• Coordinate with school staff and mentors to make sure the program runs seamlessly and everyone feels the impact
• Drive to school sites, sometimes 3+ hours each way, including overnight travel 2-3x/month
• Keep systems running: scheduling, tracking, onboarding new schools and students, conducting progress calls with teachers
• Work with AI tools that handle the busywork so you can focus on the human stuff
• Whatever else needs doing — we're a startup, roles flex

You're Right for This If...

You're all in. Part-time energy doesn't work here. You want something you can pour yourself into.

You're hungry. You want to grow fast, take on responsibility, and prove yourself. You're not waiting to be told what to do.

You're resourceful. When you hit a wall, you find a way around it. ChatGPT, Google, ask questions, figure it out — you don't freeze.

You're reliable. When you say you'll do something, it happens. People trust you.

You're relationship-oriented. You remember details. You follow up. You make people feel seen.

You're an optimistic problem-solver. Things break, plans change, students ghost. You stay positive and adapt.

You love systems. Checklists, trackers, organized chaos — you thrive when things have structure.

You light up around students. You genuinely enjoy young people and want to help them win.

You want mentorship. You'll work directly with our founders. You want to learn from people who've built something.

You're excited to travel. School visits, conferences, events — you want to be in the room, not just behind a screen.

Who Thrives Here

Recent grads who are looking for their "first real thing" — the opportunity where they can grow into a leader. People who chose a scrappy startup over a big-name company because they want ownership, not a title. The person who was president of three clubs, tutored on the side, and still asked “what else can I help with?”

Requirements

• Work with us in-person at our Summerlin office when not at conferences
• Available to support in-person conferences 2-4 days per week, often full-day (6+ hours leading on-site)
• Valid driver's license, reliable car, and willingness to drive 2-3+ hours to school sites

• Open to working late hours to support students 9am - 7pm PT. We have weekend shifts as well, they are more “on-call” and supported by all team members. We provide dinners in the office when we have days that go past 5pm PT.
• Mastery of Google Drive or tools like Notion for staying organized
• Strong written communication (you'll be messaging all day)
• Comfortable learning new tech and AI tools quickly
• Bonus: experience tutoring, mentoring, coaching, teaching, or customer-facing roles
