Stepful is hiring a Senior Manager, Instructor Community & Excellence to own the teaching excellence bar and instructor experience across our growing network of faculty delivering Medical Assistant, Pharmacy Tech, Patient Care Tech, and associated entry-level healthcare certificate programs. As we scale programs, the quality and consistency of instruction is one of the most important levers we have - and this role owns it. You'll build the systems, coaching infrastructure, and community that motivates our instructors and develop the Self-serve tools that help them see and own their classroom impact. You'll report to the Director of Program Operations and work closely with the Learning, Coaching Operations, and Product teams. This role is hybrid in NYC. You will lead a small but high-impact team: a Cohort Logistics Manager and 2–3 Instructor Quality Specialists will report directly to you. You will also serve as the organizational lead for Stepful's faculty network - who are the front line of our student experience.

Define what great instruction looks like at Stepful across entry level certificate programs, and build coaching rubrics and cadences that help instructors embody that standard.

Build and motivate a thriving community of Stepful instructors — creating spaces (virtual) where instructors connect, share best practices, and feel recognized for their impact on students.

Develop Self-serve tools and dashboards that give instructors real-time visibility into their classroom impact - pass rates, student engagement, cohort progress - so they can drive their own improvement.

Run recognition programs and feedback loops that motivate instructors to go above and beyond for students and to contribute innovation and improvement ideas back to the team.

Manage a Cohort Logistics Manager who owns end-to-end scheduling across the instructor network, and 2–3 Instructor Quality Managers who support coaching, observation, and onboarding.

Maintain a real-time view of instructor health across the network - tracking tenure, performance trends, and risk - use that data to inform hiring, offboarding, and coverage decisions.

Partner with the curriculum team to ensure instructors are translating the latest content into effective classroom delivery - adapting correctly to cohort needs and flagging real-world gaps that should inform future curriculum updates.

Use student outcome data (pass rates, engagement, completion) as a quality signal - connecting instructor performance to learning outcomes and iterating to reduce variability across cohorts.

Experiment with AI-enabled coaching and observation tools to improve feedback speed and consistency at scale.

Work closely with Curriculum , Product teams on program modifications. Work with Growth teams on cohort scheduling.

Support new program launches in entry-level certificates.
