Head of Post Course Strategy

Head Of Post Course Strategy

Braven is a national nonprofit that prepares promising college students to secure a strong first opportunity after college graduation through a career-accelerating program. We work with higher education and employer partners to offer a life-changing experience that begins with a semester-long course for college students, followed by support that lasts through graduation. Together, our ambition is to help rebuild the middle class and revitalize the American Dream.

In order to achieve its ambition of serving 80,000–100,000 Fellows over the next decade, Braven is hiring a Head of Post Course Strategy Execution who will build the strategic and operational infrastructure that drives strong career outcomes for Fellows after they complete the Accelerator every Braven Fellow's 10-15 week entry point into our program.

This is an entrepreneurial role over a newer and still forming body of work that sits at the intersection of strategy and execution. The post-Accelerator Fellow experience is inherently adaptive: it is shaped by regional labor markets, individual Fellow profiles, and employer partnerships that evolve over time. This role brings structure and intentionality to that complexity, establishing a strategic PAF experience floor that guides regional teams while preserving the local latitude needed to optimize for each market.

You hold the cross-regional view that no single campus team can hold, and you use that perspective to ensure that local execution is grounded in shared goals and the best practices emerging across Braven's network.

One important distinction:
Braven has a dedicated team responsible for building the actual program experiences, the workshops, modules, and resources that Fellows move through. Your job is not to build those experiences. Your job is to determine what Fellows need, decide what gets in front of them and when, commission new resources when gaps emerge, and ensure that what gets deployed is actually driving outcomes.

You are accountable for whether the post-Accelerator arc is working, and you think creatively about how to reach Fellows at scale through a mix of live, asynchronous, and technology-enabled approaches. Getting to 25,000 Fellows means not every intervention can be staff-delivered and synchronous, and this role helps Braven figure out what that looks like in practice – including where campus and community partners can extend the post-Accelerator experience beyond what Braven delivers directly.

As a member of Braven's Product Leadership Team, you contribute to decisions about how the post-Accelerator program evolves, bringing the accountability of someone watching outcomes in the field to cross-functional conversations about what Braven should build, change, or stop doing.

This role is on the Product Team and reports directly to the Chief Product Officer.
