tnAchieves is looking for a hard-working individual to serve as a COMPLETE coach supporting students through the college-going process. COMPLETE coaches thrive in a fast-paced and data-driven work environment. Coaches enjoy building relationships with post-secondary institution staff to expand their resource knowledge to help students succeed. The coach role offers a unique opportunity to connect with many stakeholders in education and to utilize skills like public speaking, time management, and database management and reporting (Salesforce).

The organization works at scale serving more than 85,000 students annually through college access and success initiatives. Each coach works with an average cohort size of 400 students. Coaches support their students by serving as a trusted accountability partner, connecting them with resources and grant opportunities that align with their needs and help students navigate the journey to their future career. Empowering a student to reach their potential is powerful and tnAchieves does this on a scale unlike other non-profits. Our team is part of micro and macro change; the work of a coach is technical, and metrics driven resulting in life-changing outcomes for students and positive workforce development for the state of TN.

Equally important is the opportunity for continuous learning and professional development as part of a mission-driven team. tnAchieves invests in each team member to identify and foster skillsets that will serve individuals throughout their careers. The organization is intentional about creating a strong culture of shared values. This contributes to a talent pipeline for growth opportunities as the organization evolves to expand its impact.
