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 through a career-accelerating program. We partner with higher education and employer organizations to deliver a life-changing experience that begins with a semester-long 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

To achieve our goal of serving 80,000–100,000 Fellows over the next decade, we are hiring a Head of Post Course Strategy Execution. This role is designed to build the strategic and operational infrastructure that drives strong career outcomes for Fellows after they complete the Accelerator. This is an entrepreneurial position within a newer, evolving body of work that sits at the intersection of strategy and execution.

The post-Accelerator experience is inherently adaptive, shaped by regional labor markets, individual Fellow profiles, and evolving employer partnerships. In this role, you will bring structure and intentionality to that complexity. You will establish a strategic "floor" for the Post-Accelerator (PAF) experience that guides regional teams while preserving the local latitude needed to optimize for each market. 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.

A key distinction of this role is that you are not responsible for building the actual program experiences, workshops, or modules. Instead, you determine what Fellows need, decide what gets deployed and when, and commission new resources when gaps emerge. You are accountable for whether the post-Accelerator arc is working, thinking creatively about how to reach Fellows at scale through a mix of live, asynchronous, and technology-enabled approaches. 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.
