Science & Research Coach

Leland is building the home for ambition in the age of AI. We connect people with the experts, programs, and communities they need to land the job, get into the school, or upskill for a world being rewritten by AI. We help businesses become AI-native through training, hiring, and infrastructure. Since our founding in 2021, we've helped tens of thousands of people reach their most ambitious goals and raised $19M from world-class investors. Ambition is sacred to us, and we've built a product that takes that seriously.

We're seeking an experienced science and research coach to work with students and professionals pursuing careers in scientific research. This role includes teaching core skills in laboratory techniques, statistical analysis, and data analysis, as well as guiding students through research proposal development, scientific writing, and research publications. Coaches also support grant writing and business development strategy for those seeking funding, along with networking strategy to help students build connections in their field. Ideal candidates have professional or academic research experience, prior coaching or mentoring experience, and a clear, structured approach to breaking down complex scientific and technical concepts. Coaches set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every student.

Why Leland?

• The chance to join a world-class team helping people achieve their career and educational dreams
• Work in a collaborative, high-energy environment where your contributions have a direct impact
• Operate in a fast-paced, AI-native environment
• We don't hire people who merely want to work for a great company; we hire people who want to make a great company
