About the role

About Remotely Talents Academy

Remotely Talents Academy is the B2C education arm of Remotely Talents, helping people become competitive remote candidates through clear positioning, structured strategy, and practical execution.

We’re hiring a Career Coach to support students in coaching-based programs. This is not a motivational role — you’ll diagnose what’s blocking progress, improve high-impact areas, and guide students through a proven remote job search system.

The ideal candidate combines coaching skill with recruiter-level judgment.

What You’ll Do

  • Run 1:1 coaching sessions (CV, Linked In, positioning, outreach, interviews)
  • Diagnose root issues in a student’s job search and provide targeted solutions
  • Help define career direction and position experience for remote roles
  • Guide students through a structured job search system (applications, networking, follow-ups, AI usage)
  • Provide direct, practical feedback aligned with real hiring standards
  • Prioritize high-impact improvements (CV, Linked In, positioning, search strategy)
  • Lead group coaching calls and workshops with a tactical, execution-focused approach
  • Drive accountability, consistency, and progress while maintaining clear coaching boundaries
  • Identify recurring blockers and contribute insights to improve program content and frameworks

What Success Looks Like

Students leave sessions:

  • Clear on what’s holding them back
  • Focused on what to fix first
  • Stronger in positioning and applications
  • More structured and consistent in their search
  • Confident in next steps

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience in career or job search coaching
  • Track record of helping candidates improve traction and land roles
  • Strong coaching ability (diagnosing, guiding, not just advising)
  • Expertise in:
    • CV/resume optimization
    • Linked In positioning
    • Interview preparation
    • Job search strategy & execution
    • Networking & follow-ups
    • Positioning for remote roles
  • Strong English communication (spoken & written)
  • Structured, practical, results-driven coaching style
  • Ability to give honest, direct feedback while maintaining empathy

Strong Plus

  • Background in recruitment, talent acquisition, or executive search
  • Experience with remote or international job markets (EU/US)
  • Experience with group coaching, workshops, or cohort programs
  • Experience supporting candidates who feel stuck or lack clarity
  • Understanding of hiring standards in remote-first companies
  • Agency or recruiter-led environment experience

Who This Role Is For

  • Understands hiring standards, not just coaching theory
  • Enjoys solving real job search problems
  • Balances support with clear boundaries
  • Values clarity, structure, and execution over hype
