Distribution and Wholesaling Career Coach (Part-Time)

Job 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. **Distribution and Wholesaling Career Coach (Part-Time)** Reporting to the Director of Programs, the Distribution and Wholesaling 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 Distribution and Wholesaling 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 fields of distribution, wholesaling, sales, and relationship management environments. 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 Distribution and Wholesaling 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 Distribution and Wholesaling 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.
