Position Overview

We’re looking for a skilled and passionate Business Coach to join our team on a contract basis (1099). In this role, you’ll partner closely with our clients to offer personalized coaching, thoughtful guidance, and practical strategies to help them tackle real business challenges. The right person brings both solid business coaching experience and a genuine passion for helping leaders and their organizations thrive.

Who You Are

• You’re a conscious leader who values authenticity and acts with intentionality.
• You want to do meaningful, macro-level work that has impact at the organizational level while also developing the individuals leading the organization.
• You’re a situational and adaptable leader who meets people where they are, and you welcome change for the sake of progress over perfection.
• You ask good questions and practice intuitive listening.
• You want to contribute to a “we” organization that values organizational systems over individual standards, and you value community, inclusion, and teamwork.
• You’re a continuous learner with a curious mind, and you’re always seeking new ideas and perspectives.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Help clients understand their desired outcomes: You’ll facilitate discovery conversations with clients, getting context, asking questions, and documenting what you hear and observe. Together, you’ll learn about what they hope will be different for their business and themselves.
• Create engagement plans: You’ll collaborate with the client and the Aileron team to build an engagement plan that combines Aileron services and non-Aileron activities to empower the client to reach their desired outcomes.
• You’ll help your clients grow: You’ll show up as a trusted friend as you support, challenge, and hold your clients accountable. You’ll offer thought partnership and guidance, help your clients gain clarity and direction, monitor their progress, and adjust their action plans throughout their journeys.
• Learn and grow in Professional Management: You’ll learn and practice Aileron’s DOC System of Professional Management, eventually becoming a subject matter expert and facilitating other services.
• Introduce new ideas: You’ll contribute to the ongoing development of Aileron’s content, approach, and methods. You’ll support other Business Coaches by introducing new ideas and sharing your feedback and observations.

What Motivates Our Business Coaches

• Client growth and transformation: Witnessing clients evolve, apply insights, and continue their growth journey is a major source of motivation for our team; you’ll feel at home if you find deep satisfaction in seeing clients get unstuck, gain clarity, and move forward with hope.
• Emotional wins and personal impact: Celebrating emotional victories like being heard, acknowledged, and supported is especially meaningful for our coaches. We’re looking for other coaches who find motivation in helping clients experience peace, authenticity, or confidence.
• Connection and trust: Building a trusted relationship—being seen as a confidant or a part of the client’s extended team—is a major motivator for us. We’re hoping you feel fulfilled by building genuine and strong connections with your clients.
• Making a difference: Our entire team is bound by our shared desire to improve lives by helping business owners and teams achieve their potential; we find a sense of purpose in making a difference in the lives of others. We hope you do, too.
