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 Corporate Development Coach to work with clients looking to grow within their current corporate roles. This role includes teaching core skills in mergers & acquisitions, due diligence, and business valuation, as well as helping clients build strong financial analysis and strategic planning abilities. Coaches also guide clients on market research, competitive analysis, and negotiation skills to support deal-making and growth strategy. 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 corporate development roles, along with broader skill building. Ideal candidates have hands-on experience in corporate development, investment banking, or strategy (as a corporate development professional, banker, or industry professional), a strong track record of evaluating and executing deals, 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.
