Job Description

Leland is building the home for ambition in the age of AI. We connect people with the experts, programs, and communities they need to land the job, get into the school, or upskill for a world being rewritten by AI. We help businesses become AI-native through training, hiring, and infrastructure.

Since our founding in 2021, we've helped tens of thousands of people reach their most ambitious goals and raised $19M from world-class investors. Ambition is sacred to us, and we've built a product that takes that seriously.

We're seeking an experienced therapist and therapy practice coach to work with students and professionals pursuing careers in therapy.

This role includes teaching core clinical skills in patient care, counseling, mental health assessment, therapy techniques, and treatment planning, as well as guiding students through certification requirements needed to practice.

Coaches also support the career side of the journey, including resume review, interview prep, salary negotiation, and networking strategy to help therapists land the right role and grow their professional network.

Ideal candidates have professional experience as a therapist, prior coaching or mentoring experience, and a clear, structured approach to breaking down clinical and career topics alike.

Coaches set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every student.

Why Leland?

  • The chance to join a world-class team helping people achieve their career and educational dreams
  • Work in a collaborative, high-energy environment where your contributions have a direct impact
