The Opportunity

As a Cohort Coach, you will be responsible for delivering our Software Engineering curriculum, working with highly engaged individuals as they accelerate their careers in software engineering.

Your role will be a mixture of small group workshops, and personalized coaching where you'll be supporting apprentices across incredibly exciting businesses to become the next generation of software engineering leaders.

• You are a strong communicator, an independent problem solver, flexible and resilient with a strong sense of accountability and follow-through; our program content and structure may change to better suit the needs of apprentices, so you must be adaptable and constantly open to iteration.

• Work with your apprentices’ managers to understand the needs of their role and how to best support their professional development.

• Work internally with Multiverse colleagues to ensure first class delivery and program quality.

• Monitor the progress of apprentices through data collection and sharing insights with the Program team and partners to facilitate the next steps in the learning journey.

• Help iterate and further build the program.
