Guild is hiring for its Marketplace Delivery team to lead cross-functional workstreams as Guild launches new engagements with employer partners -- like Walmart, Disney, Lowe’s and others -- and academic partners -- like the University of Arizona, Southern New Hampshire University, Penn Foster and more. 

Guild is revolutionizing the role that employers play in educating America and one of Denver's fastest growing startups. Through employer sponsored education programs, Guild is increasing economic mobility for working adults in America and providing education and support to help every student survive and thrive in the economy of tomorrow.

• Drive incubation of this new function, helping set a vision for team growth and success
• Directly support and manage multiple other members of the Marketplace Delivery team, ensuring they are successful in their role and develop in their careers
• Join a team committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment that you’d support every day

You are a strong fit for this role if you have:

• 7+ years of experience in business management, product management, program management and/or strategy consulting roles 
• People management experience, with demonstrated track record of successfully coaching cross-functional teams
• An operator’s mindset: Strong leadership, systems thinking and project management skills, with demonstrated ability to deliver complex projects involving multiple stakeholders
