Remote Workforce Development Jobs in Philadelphia, PA

If you're energized by opening doors, building relationships, and helping organizations create life-changing opportunities for young people, we'd love to meet you.

Maybe you're the person who naturally organizes community events, serves on a nonprofit board, coordinates school initiatives, or is always introducing people who should know each other. You enjoy meeting new people, making connections, and turning conversations into lasting relationships.

This role is also an excellent fit for a return-to-work parent or mid-career professional with prior leadership experience who wants flexible, meaningful work that makes a genuine difference.

You'll introduce schools, nonprofits, workforce development organizations, and other youth-serving agencies to Real World Leaders—a nonprofit that helps students and young adults discover their natural talents by connecting them with CEOs, hiring managers, and business leaders.

Much of your day will involve reaching out to organizations that have never heard of us before. Not with a hard sell, but with genuine curiosity, confidence, and a belief that what we offer can change lives.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role isn't measured by how many calls you make. It's measured by the relationships you build and the opportunities you create.

You'll help us:

• Introduce Real World Leaders to schools, nonprofits, workforce development programs, and community organizations throughout the Greater Philadelphia region.
• Open doors with organizational leaders who are passionate about helping young people succeed.
• Build a steady pipeline of new community partners who provide cohorts of students and young adults for our programs.
• Help partner organizations recognize the value of introducing their participants to CEOs, hiring managers, and business professionals.
• Turn first conversations into long-term partnerships built on trust.
• Create an outstanding experience that makes organizations excited to participate again and refer others.

Responsibilities

• Conduct outreach by phone, email, and LinkedIn
• Research and identify prospective partner organizations
• Schedule introductory meetings and partnership conversations
• Build relationships with school administrators, nonprofit leaders, workforce development professionals, and community organizations
• Maintain ongoing communication with partner organizations
• Track outreach activity and partnership progress
• Coordinate scheduling for participating student and young adult groups
• Support partnership growth through thoughtful follow-up and relationship management

Qualifications

We're less interested in finding someone with the "perfect" résumé than someone with the right instincts.

You may be a great fit if you:

• Enjoy meeting new people and aren't afraid to start conversations.
• Naturally look for opportunities instead of waiting for them to appear.
• Are comfortable making outreach calls and introducing valuable ideas to people who don't know you yet.
• Build trust quickly and communicate with warmth and professionalism.
• Are highly organized and naturally follow through on commitments.
• Work well independently while staying accountable to goals.
• Believe deeply in helping young people discover their potential.

Experience in community outreach, partnership development, nonprofit leadership, fundraising, education, admissions, recruiting, business development, workforce development, or relationship management is especially valuable.

About Real World Leaders

RealWorldLeaders.org has introduced more than 4,000 underserved youth to 1,000+ CEOs and their leadership teams, helping students discover their natural strengths, build confidence, and explore meaningful career paths.

Our programs help young people realize something many have never experienced before: successful executives aren't superheroes—they're real people with relatable stories, challenges, strengths, and journeys. Those conversations often change how participants see themselves and what's possible for their own futures.

Why This Role Is Different

This isn't a quota-driven sales position.

It isn't telemarketing.

It isn't reading from a script.

It's thoughtful, relationship-based outreach for a mission that genuinely improves lives.

You'll spend your time helping organizations discover opportunities they may not have known existed while becoming part of an established nonprofit with an extraordinary network of educators, nonprofit leaders, and CEOs.

This Role Is NOT for You If...

• You prefer waiting for opportunities instead of creating them.
• Making first-time outreach calls feels uncomfortable.
• You dislike building new relationships.
• You enjoy administrative work far more than connecting with people.
• You need constant direction instead of taking initiative.
• You're looking for a full-time position with fixed hours.

If you're the kind of person who sees possibility where others see a cold call, who enjoys bringing people together around a meaningful mission, and who believes every young person deserves access to leaders who can broaden their horizons, we'd love to hear from you.
