Job description

Description
Greenwood Project

The Greenwood Project was founded in 2016 based on two core principles:
 
                           “Students can’t be what they can’t see”
                                                        and
                 “There is no lack of talent, only a lack of opportunity.”
 
GP’s mission is bold, essential and long overdue.  We are dedicated to creating opportunities for qualified Black and Latino college students to attain high-trajectory careers in financial services through rigorous training and internships. At Greenwood Project, we don’t just talk about change; we are the catalyst for it, breaking barriers and building a more inclusive and diverse financial industry. Our people are the foundation that allows us to achieve our ambitious goals. Becoming part of the Greenwood Project team means joining a group of driven, passionate, and intellectually curious individuals. To work here is to be crucial to the organization’s success.
 
Markets and Distribution Career Coach (Part-Time)

Reporting to the Director of Programs, the Markets and Distribution Career Coach plays a central role in supporting Greenwood Project scholars as they pursue career pathways in distribution, wholesaling, sales, and relationship management within asset management. This role focuses on preparing scholars for successful distribution and wholesaling internships and positioning them for full-time job offers upon graduation.

Day-to-Day Impact

As a Markets and Distribution Career Coach, your work directly prepares Greenwood Project scholars for the rigor and expectations of competitive distribution and wholesaling internships and early career roles. You may begin the week reviewing scholar progress on their assignments, following up on technical skill gaps, and conducting extra interview preparation with some scholars. Later in the week, you might lead professional development sessions focused on distribution and wholesaling workplace norms, evaluate internship performance feedback from partners, or meet one-on-one with scholars navigating demanding summer roles.
This role blends hands-on coaching with program building. You are not only supporting students individually, but also shaping the systems, curriculum, and feedback loops that ensure scholars consistently perform at a high level in the demanding areas of distribution, wholesaling, sales, and relationship management.
Every coaching session, workshop, and assignment review session helps scholars prepare for and navigate a highly competitive distribution and wholesaling recruiting process, secure and succeed in an internship, and ultimately position themselves for a full-time job that can change their career trajectory.
What Makes This Role Distinct

This is not a general career coaching role. The Markets and Distribution Career Coach brings direct distribution and wholesaling industry experience into the coaching conversations and program design. Scholars rely on your understanding of real-world expectations, technical rigor, and workplace dynamics to prepare them for environments where performance standards are high and feedback is direct.

You will help define what “ready” looks like for distribution and wholesaling internships and ensure our systems, coaching, and programming consistently deliver that standard as the program scales.
As a core member of the Greenwood Project team, the Markets and Distribution Career Coach contributes to the design and continuous improvement of learning pathways, student roadmaps, curriculum, evaluation tools, and key impact measures. This position is closely tied to student experience, program outcomes, and long-term scholar success.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support and coach a cohort of Greenwood Project scholars through hybrid, virtual, and in-person programming with the goal of scholars securing and successfully completing a junior year distribution and wholesaling summer internship.
  • Provide structured one-on-one coaching focused on professional readiness, interview preparation, internship performance, and long-term career development.
  • Facilitate small group and large group professional development sessions designed to prepare students for the rigor, expectations, and day-to-day demands of finance internships and long-term careers in the industry.
  • Evaluate and track scholar progress using internal rubrics, learning pathways, and roadmaps.
  • Collect, manage, and analyze data related to student performance, engagement, and outcomes, and regularly summarize and report findings to internal teams and relevant stakeholders.
  • Develop and maintain systems for student support that reflect best practices in coaching, cohort management, and talent development.
  • Research best practices across education, workforce development, and financial services organizations and apply insights to improve coaching methods, systems, and scholar experience.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with scholars to support retention, engagement, and success throughout their participation in the Greenwood Project.
  • Develop and oversee feedback systems with finance partners to monitor scholar performance during internships and address development needs in real time.
  • Support the strategic growth of the program by contributing to scalable systems, structures, and processes that enhance student development and finance internship outcomes.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned in support of program goals.
