Talent Coach (Remote)

At Plato, we’re on a mission to help engineering managers become great leaders. Our platform intelligently matches “mentees” to highly experienced engineering leaders of various backgrounds to help resolve their most pressing management challenges.

We are looking for a Talent Coach who will augment the current team of 4 coaches at the moment to help face the growing demand of our mentorship program.

As a Talent Coach, you are the mentees’ gateway to our amazing community of hundreds of mentors.

This is a dynamic opportunity that’s customer-facing and strategic. Your day-to-day will consist of coaching our users by onboarding them and helping them find their perfect mentors. At Plato you’ll have a big impact on the growth of a promising startup as well as the career development of 100’s of engineering and product leaders.
