Head of Post Course Strategy

About Braven

Braven is a national nonprofit dedicated to preparing promising college students to secure a strong first opportunity after graduation. We partner with higher education and employer networks to deliver a life-changing experience that begins with a semester-long Accelerator course and continues with support through graduation. Our collective ambition is to help rebuild the middle class and revitalize the American Dream.

About the Role

As the Head of Post Course Strategy, you will build the strategic and operational infrastructure that drives strong career outcomes for Fellows after they complete the Accelerator. This is an entrepreneurial role situated at the intersection of strategy and execution, designed to bring structure and intentionality to the inherently adaptive post-Accelerator experience.

You will hold the cross-regional view that no single campus team can hold, ensuring local execution is grounded in shared goals and best practices emerging across Braven's network. While a dedicated team builds the actual program experiences (workshops, modules, and resources), your focus is on determining what Fellows need, deciding what gets deployed, and ensuring those interventions drive results. You will think creatively about reaching Fellows at scale through a mix of live, asynchronous, and technology-enabled approaches, figuring out how campus and community partners can extend the experience beyond what Braven delivers directly.

As a member of Braven's Product Leadership Team, you will contribute to decisions about how the program evolves, bringing the accountability of someone watching outcomes in the field to cross-functional conversations about what Braven should build, change, or stop doing. This role reports directly to the Chief Product Officer and is based in-person in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, or Newark.

The interview process generally includes the following steps:

1. Phone screen with a Talent Team member.

Our Culture & Commitment

Braven is committed to building strong, inclusive cultures that develop others. We are dedicated to serving a student Fellow population that is predominantly people of color from low-income backgrounds navigating the transition from college to career. We believe in a growth orientation toward data and value the ability to translate high-level strategic direction into clear, actionable goals. We encourage applicants to apply even if they do not meet 100% of the preferred qualifications, as much of the description should resonate with your experience.
