Position Overview

We're seeking a proven business leader to join Contrarian Thinking as an Executive Business Coach, working with an elite community of entrepreneurs and business leaders. This role combines strategic advisory capabilities with the opportunity to shape our premier mastermind program's future.

This role is for someone who can command a room of successful business owners, challenge their thinking, and push them past their comfort zones. You'll be designing and leading programs that actually move the needle – from intimate mastermind sessions to intensive workshops on acquisition and scaling.

We're growing fast, and we promote faster. Show us you can deliver results, and you'll have the chance to build and lead entire divisions. This isn't corporate ladder-climbing – it's rocket fuel for leaders who execute.

Fair warning: This role isn't for everyone. If you're looking for a position where you can coast on past experiences, keep scrolling. But if you're ready to roll up your sleeves, make a real impact, and help build something extraordinary while accelerating your own career, let's talk.

  • Exceptional stakeholder management and relationship-building capabilities
  • Strategic mindset with strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
  • Natural leadership presence and the ability to command respect among peers
  • Independent thinking and contrarian perspective that challenges conventional wisdom

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide strategic guidance and coaching to member executives and business owners
  • Lead high-impact cohort development programs through bi-weekly executive sessions
  • Design and facilitate monthly mastermind meetings for senior business leaders
  • Develop and deliver advanced intensives focused on acquisition and scaling strategies
  • Orchestrate quarterly executive events (three in-person, one virtual)
