Career Transition Coach (Marketplace Contractor)

About Respiris

Respiris is reimagining outplacement for the AI era.

We support people who have lost their jobs by combining human coaching, AI, and community to help them regain confidence, clarify what comes next, activate their networks, and move forward with purpose.

Our mission is simple:

No one should experience a career transition alone.
The Role

As a Career Transition Coach, you will work one-on-one with candidates who have lost their jobs.

You will meet with each candidate weekly and become their best friend in transition: someone who listens deeply, remembers what matters, challenges when needed, and helps them move forward.

Your job is not to run candidates through a template.

It is to understand them deeply enough that their strategy, resume, Career Prayer™, networking approach, and next steps feel uniquely theirs.
What You’ll Do
- Meet with candidates weekly throughout their engagement.
- Understand their career story, strengths, motivations, values, and goals.
- Help each candidate develop their Career Prayer™: who they are, what they do best, what they want next, and how others can help.
- Partner with candidates to build and strengthen resumes, LinkedIn profiles, and professional narratives.
- Activate their network through Career Prayer and targeted outreach.
- Help identify target roles, companies, industries, and opportunities.
- Prepare candidates for interviews and important career conversations.
- Use AI and research tools to improve preparation, insight, and personalization.
- Collaborate with other coaches, operations, and the founder to continuously improve the candidate experience.

Who Thrives Here

At Respiris, we hire for perspective, not pedigree.

The best coaches are intellectually curious, adaptable, and able to understand that people are complicated.

A candidate may be confident in one moment and uncertain in the next. They may be grieving a job loss while also feeling relieved. They may want another version of the role they just lost, or they may need someone to help them see that an entirely different path is possible.

You have to be comfortable working with all of those parts.

Someone who needs a rigid script, waits for a checklist, or simply moves people through a process is unlikely to thrive here.

We want coaches who can think independently, make connections quickly, and hack the transition with the candidate: understand the person, diagnose what is getting in the way, identify leverage, experiment with approaches, and help create momentum.
