The future of work will be characterized by an evolution in human development and Guided is leading the way. Guided is the first company to make it easy to provide coaching as an employee benefit. We combine a team of highly vetted coaches with simple technology to provide a scalable and effective coaching solution.

Our vision is a world where work is awesome for everyone.

 

Our mission is to transform the human work experience by democratizing access to great coaching.

 

Social impact is woven into what we do - for every employee coached we provide a group coaching experience to at-risk youth.

Company Culture

​

We are a virtual team that is dedicated to “walking the talk” around personal development and living our values: Courage, Ownership, Team, & Play. Working at Guided is not for the faint of heart. Feedback is continuous. Expectations are high. At the same time we support the sh*t out of each other, have fun and celebrate along the way. As a remote work environment we provide immense amounts of autonomy and freedom and employees to take pride and ownership in their work. We do not care so much about the ‘when’ or ‘where’ of your work :) We are thoughtful, not only about the quality of our work but also about how we treat each other and problem-solve. Our commitment to doing our best is matched by our commitment to having fun and enjoying the adventure of building a transformative company.

Position Overview

​

We are looking for a strategic and scrappy B2B business development leader to shape our sales and marketing organization.
