Nursing Program Director - Nationwide Opportunities

About Stepful
Stepful is a workforce platform redefining how America's largest health systems build, train, and retain their talent. Since our founding in 2021, Stepful’s trained over 32,000 practice-ready healthcare workers.
Layering onto our successful direct-to-consumer training, Stepful partners with leading healthcare institutions to address the growing national shortage of healthcare workers. We’re improving access to quality healthcare for everyone, everywhere, and improving access to healthcare career ladders for those who need them most.
Our students form the talent pipelines for major employers such as NY-Presbyterian, Mt. Sinai, HCA, Providence, CVS, and Walgreens. We have partnerships with half of the top 10 health systems in the US and are in process with many more.
Stepful is backed by Y Combinator, Reach Capital, and AlleyCorp, with a recent $55M Series C led by Oak HC/FT . We were named the #1 EdTech company in the U.S. by TIME for 2025 .
Our values
We credit much of our success to our exceptional team. We’re looking for mission-driven builders who thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, and embody our four core values:
- Care first : We do whatever it takes for our students to succeed.
- Learn quickly : We test, learn with data, and iterate.
- Build together : We win when we rely on each other.
- Own it : We show up, take initiative, and show pride.

The opportunity
Stepful is building something different in nursing education — and we're growing fast.
We launched our first practical nursing programs in Ohio and Missouri, and we're just getting started. As we expand our footprint across more states, we're looking to connect with experienced nursing education leaders who are excited by the opportunity to build, grow, and lead programs that are genuinely changing who gets access to a nursing career.
If you're a Registered Nurse with a background in nursing education leadership — whether you're currently a Program Director, Dean, faculty leader, or a senior instructor ready to step up — we'd love to hear from you. We're not just filling seats; we're building a bench of exceptional leaders who our belief that rigorous, accessible nursing education can coexist.
At Stepful, our nursing programs combine live virtual instruction with in-person skills labs and clinicals at vetted employer partner sites — built on the NCSBN Clinical Judgment Measurement Model and designed to produce practice-ready nurses. We were named the #1 EdTech company in the U.S. by TIME in 2025.
If you're passionate about removing barriers to nursing education and want to be part of a mission-driven team that's growing nationally, we'd love to hear from you!
