Small Business Coach - Remote (US Applicants Only)

Would you like to become a business coach? If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk:

You have an uncommon ability to attune to people and feel what they’re really saying. You process impressions quickly and clearly think on your feet. You hear things others miss and you’re more aware than most when you’re not sure what people mean. You can’t help but ask because you just want to know. It’s easy for you to ask the kind of questions others avoid, even of someone you don’t know, when you feel you can serve. You can manage your emotional reactions to people so you don’t get hooked by their behavior and lose your focus.

You’re the person people count on to tell them the truth. You don’t avoid tender subjects; you address them directly with the right touch. People appreciate your self-awareness, honesty, humility, empathy and insight. 

You’re dedicated to your growth and to continuous improvement. The way you relate to life reveals your gifts as well as your blind spots as you become a more effective and authentic version of yourself over time. To you, feedback is support even when it’s hard to hear. You’re both discerning about the feedback you receive and open to feeling your impact in ways you hadn’t considered. You’re able to integrate new learning into your behavior quickly. 

About us:

EMyth pioneered the business coaching industry in 1977 to help small business owners build a business that works. The EMyth Coaching Program guides business owners in making their own personal transition from Technicians, whose business works because of them, to Entrepreneurs, Managers and Leaders, whose business can flourish without them.

We’ve built a unique culture that means everything to us. We operate as a team. We build relationships by giving trust. We share what’s living in us and work through conflicts to achieve alignment, accountability and results. We value vulnerability, transparency, authenticity and personal growth. We’re looking for salespeople to join our team who have the requisite skills and a natural affinity for our culture.

Your role:

EMyth doesn’t deliver generic business coaching. We provide a perspective on how a small business owner needs to shift their thinking about their business, their people, their customers and themselves if they want to build a thriving business that doesn’t depend on them.  As an EMyth Coach, you’ll use your relational skills and our coaching system to help your clients transform from someone who’s exceptional at the work of their business to someone who’s exceptional at leading a company that does that work. You’ll learn to guide your clients to aha moments, helping them uncover what’s standing in their way and what’s possible for them when they start to work on their business, not just in it.    

What you’ll need:

• Coaching experience and coach training are neither required nor preferred.
• A BA or BS is preferred but not required.
• A real-world understanding of small business and small business owners as a result of owning a small business, working as a manager for one or growing up in a small business family, even better if the business you’ve been associated with has applied EMyth principles
• An appreciation for how your skill at attunement can combine with a proven small business coaching system to produce a result that’s greater than the sum of the parts.
• A willingness to immerse yourself in EMyth’s perspective on building a business that works and EMyth’s client engagement methods as the context for your work as an EMyth Business Coach
• An ability to work independently and productively in a remote environment and nurture relationships with teammates despite physical distance
• Proficiency across a range of technologies and apps
• A quiet, professional home office with a wall directly behind your desk where no windows or doors would be visible on a Zoom call
• An interest in supporting diversity, equity and inclusion

What we offer:

• Competitive base salary plus a monthly performance bonus from $65,000 to $110,000; $90,000 is a reasonable expectation by the end of the first year
• Regular and on-going training
• Remote work 
• 401(k) with matching
• 14 paid holidays
• Three weeks paid vacation
• One week paid personal time
• Two weeks paid sick time
• One week bereavement leave for a close relative
• Health, dental and vision insurance
• Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Dependent Care FSA
• Life insurance
• An open, authentic and apolitical culture where your voice matters

How to apply:

• Submit your most recent resume and a cover letter telling us about yourself and why you’re attracted to business coaching and EMyth in particular.
  • If you’re applying from a platform that doesn’t offer uploading a separate cover letter file, please combine and upload your cover letter and resume in a single file.
• After we receive your cover letter and resume, we’ll send you an email with instructions to complete a brief video interview. 
• Please complete your application—resume, cover letter and video interview—by January 10, 2025.
• Only applicants who are United States residents and eligible to work in the United States and who submit a complete application will be considered.  

We welcome applicants of any gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, race, age, socioeconomic and family status, disability and veteran status. Employment at EMyth is based on merit and an applicant’s qualifications for each position. We’re committed to maintaining a workplace free of bias, prejudice, bullying, discrimination, verbal and physical violations of any kind. We’re looking for people who are curious, open-minded and self-aware, who can build co-creative relationships with their teammates that support small business owners in building a business and a life they love leading.
