About The Role

We’re seeking exceptional talent with proven experience in Technical Research or Research Engineering at leading technology or tech-adjacent companies, with prior experience in Academia. Your background should demonstrate a track record of designing, executing, and communicating high-impact research outcomes and the ability to navigate in complex, rapidly evolving problem spaces. You have hands-on experience developing and implementing cutting-edge AI/ML systems, large-scale models, or work in mathematical sciences, and have led collaborative, cross-functional research and engineering teams.  We are looking for candidates with both a strong academic background and experience leading research teams in an organization.  You value learning, growth, and community, and are passionate both about research and about developing and coaching people in their field.

As a Mento coach, you will form 1:1 partnerships with our members to help them identify & track clear goals, become stronger researchers, leaders and strategic thinkers, communicate more effectively, problem-solve issues at work, and help them feel happy, fulfilled, and engaged at work and beyond.

All Mento coaches, regardless of coaching experience, are required to participate in our ICF-certified coach training program to learn Mento’s coaching methodology prior to working with our members. Our coach training is an immersive, transformational training designed to help you grow as a coach, master the Mento Coaching Methodology, and gain access to proprietary tools that set our coaches apart. This program is ICF-certified, and participants who successfully graduate will earn Continuing Coach Education Units. If you’re ready to elevate your coaching skills, deepen your impact, and become part of a groundbreaking coaching team, we encourage you to apply and take the next step in your journey!

Your routine responsibilities will include:

  • Providing 1:1 coaching to Mento members through virtual sessions using the Mento Platform and Tools
