Job Description:
About Pursuit
Our mission is to create economic transformation. By training
low-income adults to launch and advance careers as software
engineers, we help our Fellows go from earning $18,000 to over
$90,000 starting salary on average, adding an estimated $2M in
lifetime earnings. Pursuit partners with leading companies like
Blackstone, USV, Citi, Peloton, and Uber to employ Fellows in
career-defining engineering roles and supports them with on-the-job
training to ensure potential translates to performance. Since 2013,
Pursuit has created -$1B in total lifetime wage gains, creating
lasting economic mobility that spans generations.
Pursuit's proven solution is built on two interconnected
components: training (which includes community development, Core
pre-job training, and Commit on-the-job training) and a financial
product (known as Bond). However, growing training alone will not
meet the magnitude of need nor solve new societal challenges ahead.
The typical expectation is to expand our training to other cities,
but this will not come anywhere close to creating good jobs for
millions of low-income Americans. Instead, our strategy for scaled
impact is to evolve our financial product and create tools for
other organizations, jobs, and places. We believe that this will
not only create good jobs for millions of low-income Americans but
will also generate a new trillion-dollar market directly tied to
results in the long term.
We are One Big Team
The passionate and collaborative team at Pursuit gives its all to
achieve our mission. And it's not just staff. We work with employer
partners that love hiring our Fellows because they are so well
prepared, ranging from big financial firms to scrappy startups, and
everything in between. We also activate and engage hundreds of
volunteers that come from all areas of the tech industry.
As the Strategic Partnerships Manager, you will be responsible for
establishing new partnerships with philanthropic entities and other
partners to fund strategic initiatives. While others on the team
will be focused on raising funds specifically to support workforce
development, this role will lead partnerships and fundraising for
strategic, systems-level initiatives that may sit outside of or
adjacent to workforce development and be focused more broadly on
economic transformation through impact investment and capital
mobilization, wealth gap and inequality, research and policy, or
capacity building. Examples include Randomized Controlled Trial, a
new Queens Tech Hub, a Tech Apprenticeship implementation plan for
the city, or an employment strategy with Venture Capital firms.
These opportunities are typically based on a consultative sales
approach, require extensive relationship mapping and building, may
require alignment and buy-in from multiple sets of decision-makers
and functions across an organization, and may require external
partnerships and coalition building efforts. Because these
initiatives are more complex, the process is less
application-based, and more relationship-based and non-linear.
These opportunities will typically range from $250,000 to
+$1,000,000. Anticipated annual volume for this role is expected to
be at least -$2-3M total.
