Teaching Lead

Skillify | Las Vegas, NV (Summerlin) | In-Person role with relocation support provided!

This role is for someone who owns the room and genuinely wants to help students succeed. You know how some people walk into space and the energy shifts? That's you. You can hold 50 high schoolers' attention for six hours straight — not by talking at them, but by making them feel like they're part of something. You're part motivational speaker, part workshop facilitator, and 100% someone who genuinely believes in and wants to support young people.

We're Skillify. We run career workshops and mentorship programs that help students figure out what they want to do with their lives. We've reached thousands of students across 220+ schools — and we're just getting started.

Our full-day conferences (career workshops) are the heartbeat of what we do. They're high-energy, high-impact days where students meet mentors, explore careers, and walk out with more confidence than they came in with.
You'll be the person who makes that happen.

• Lead full-day career conferences at schools across California and Nevada (typically 7AM - 3PM PT)
• Facilitate high-energy workshops on career exploration, mentorship, goal-setting, and professional skills
• Emcee and manage the flow — intros, transitions, keeping energy high, handling the unexpected
• Connect with students 1:1 and in groups — you're approachable, memorable, someone they trust
• Coordinate with school staff and mentors to make sure the day runs seamlessly and everyone feels the impact
• Drive to school sites , sometimes 3+ hours each way, with some overnight travel 2-3x/month

• Improve and iterate on workshop content and conference experience based on what's landing
• Prep materials, coordinate logistics, debrief with the team
• Support other Skillify initiatives as needed — we're a startup, roles flex

• You have “impossible-to-ignore” public speaking energy. Six hours on your feet, projecting, facilitating, engaging — and you're still hyped at the end. This isn't a performance you can fake.
• You light up around students. You genuinely enjoy young people and want to help them win.
• You're hungry. You want to grow fast, take on responsibility, and prove yourself.
• You're reliable and organized. When you say you'll do something, it happens. People trust you and you keep yourself organized well.
• You're relationship-oriented. You remember details. You follow up. You make people feel seen.
• You're an optimistic problem-solver. Things break, plans change, students ghost. You stay positive and adapt.
• You're excited to travel. School visits, conferences, events — you want to be in the room, not just behind a screen.

• Work with us in-person in Las Vegas, at our Summerlin office, when not at school-sites
• Strong public speaking skills — you've done this before and you're good at it
• Available to lead conferences 2-4 days per week, often full-day (6+ hours leading on-site)
• Valid driver's license, reliable car, and willingness to drive 3+ hours to school sites
• Open to overnight travel when conferences are far from Las Vegas
• Mastery of Google Drive or tools like Notion for staying organized
• Bonus: experience in teaching, youth programs, event facilitation, theater, coaching, or anything that put you in front of groups of young people

• High standards, high support. We expect excellence and we'll help you get there.
• Collaborative and fun. Small team = everyone matters and we like each other.
• Mission over ego. We're here for students. Everything else is secondary.
