We're seeking an experienced Athlete Career Transition Mentor to work with former professional athletes transitioning into their next career. This role includes guiding athletes through career transition and job search strategies, as well as building leadership development and personal branding for life after competition.

Mentors set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every athlete.
