Online coaching platform with expert network
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 Design Coach to work with clients looking to break into or grow within design roles. This role includes teaching core design thinking, user experience design, and user interface design skills, as well as helping clients build strong wireframing, prototyping, and visual design abilities. Coaches also guide clients on branding and applying emerging tools like AI fundamentals, AI graphics creation, AI product design, and user research & insights automation to their design work. On the career side, coaches offer resume review, LinkedIn review, and cover letter guidance, plus interview prep, networking strategy, salary negotiation, and promotion strategy tailored to design roles, along with broader skill building and support for those pursuing freelancing opportunities. Ideal candidates have hands-on experience in design (as a UX/UI designer, product designer, or industry professional), a strong portfolio and track record of shipping thoughtful design work, and a clear, structured approach to coaching clients through both technical and career growth. Coaches set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every client.
