Investment Banking Career Coach (Part-Time)

Reporting to the Director of Programs, the Investment Banking Career Coach plays a central role in supporting Greenwood Project scholars as they pursue career pathways in investment banking, private credit, venture capital, private equity, and equity research. This role focuses on preparing scholars for successful finance internships and positioning them for full-time job offers upon graduation.

As an Investment Banking Career Coach, your work directly prepares Greenwood Project scholars for the rigor and expectations of competitive finance internships and early career roles. You may begin the week reviewing scholar progress on their assignments, following up on technical skill gaps, conducting extra interview preparation with some scholars. Later in the week, you might lead professional development sessions focused on finance 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 investment banking, private credit, private equity, venture capital, and equity research environments.

Every coaching session, workshop, and assignment review session helps scholars prepare for and navigate a highly competitive finance recruiting process, secure and succeed in a finance internship, and ultimately position themselves for a full‑time job that can change their career trajectory.

This is not a general career coaching role. The Investment Banking Career Coach brings direct finance 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 finance 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 Investment Banking 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.
