Leadership Acceleration Program

Join a Company That’s Invested in Your Long-term Growth and Success

IMPACT’s Leadership Acceleration Program was created to provide you with all the skills you need to be a high-performing leader while you get on-the-job experience and make meaningful contributions to a company on a mission. Earn a great salary, advance quickly, and join us in growing businesses and changing lives.

The Leadership Acceleration Program at a glance:

• Get paid well. Unlike similar programs where you get paid a minimum salary or even have to pay to be part of the program, IMPACT will pay you a competitive salary. You’ll start at $55,000, and within your first year, you’ll be eligible for several pay increases and promotions. You can expect to make $65,000 to $85,000 depending on how fast you progress.
• For any high achiever. The IMPACT Leadership Acceleration Program is perfect for recent graduates or anyone looking to make a career change or re-enter the workforce. If you’re driven, obsessed with learning, want to grow fast, and not intimidated by a challenge, we want you to be a part of this program.
• No end date; we'd love for you to stay. Our goal for this program is to develop the next generation of great leaders here at IMPACT, so we want you to stay and continue to grow here. As we continue to grow and launch new initiatives, we’ll look to you as someone we can count on to take on a new challenge. With these opportunities comes the ability for you to change roles and explore other departments within IMPACT.
• A variety of career opportunities. IMPACT is a coaching and education company, and many of our career paths lead to helping businesses and their people grow. However, the IMPACT Leadership Acceleration Program does not limit you to only working with clients. You'll have opportunities to explore roles in marketing, sales, design, development, finance, and human resources. During the interview process, our team will work with you to identify the best team or projects for you to work on based on where we have openings, your unique skillset, and your passions.
• Full-time employment. In this program, you are a full-time employee at IMPACT. You are not a glorified intern. You'll receive the same benefits as all other IMPACTers, including comprehensive health and dental, paid time off, the ability to contribute to a 401k, and more.
• Tons of reading, training, and learning. From day one, you’ll be assigned a learning path that’s proven to lead to success in leadership. Additionally, starting in your first few weeks, you’ll participate in small group training and role-plays to help you become a world-class communicator. If you love to read, learn and challenge yourself, this is the place for you.

You may be perfect for this program if you:

• You have shown you can be a leader and have led a team, organized an event or fundraiser, have been a mentor, or something similar in the past.
• You possess strong written and verbal communication skills.
• You are tech-savvy and quickly pick up how to use business applications, marketing automation tools, social media apps, etc.
• You are hyper detail-oriented and extremely organized.
• You love to learn and expand your skillset. In fact, if you’re not excited about reading at least two business books a month while also taking online courses, this job is not for you.
• You are willing to learn new skills on the fly to support your team and help them get the job done.
• You are great at receiving feedback and want to be coached.
• You are patient and willing to put in the work.

The culture at IMPACT:

• Fast-paced. We learn fast, we fail fast, we try new things. We're always in motion and always evolving.
• Transparent. We share everything with our employees. From product roadmaps to company financials.
• Lots of video. Between Zoom calls, sending personalized videos, and filming courses, you will be on-camera... a lot.
• Obsessed over learning. We love to read, in fact, we'll even buy any book that will help you grow and reward you for finishing it.
• We get along. We surround ourselves with top performers who all have a lot of respect and admiration for each other.
• Always teaching. At the heart of everything we do is helping people succeed, both professionally and personally.
• Candid and direct. There’s no sugar-coating here; we're radically candid when communicating to both our clients and teammates.
• We're ambitious. We have big dreams, and sometimes, we bite off more than we can chew, but we always live in the solution.
• Free to be ourselves. We want everyone to be their authentic, true self at work. Laugh, cry, share your culture. Come as you are.

Is this a remote position?

Currently, we’re looking for candidates within driving distance from our New Haven, CT office, however, yes, we are open to candidates in other locations if there’s a great fit. Many IMPACTers do work from home, even if they are in the local area, spending time in the office for a few days out of the month.

What are my chances of being selected?

We receive hundreds of applicants each month, and we’ll only accept about 10 new hires a year. We’re looking for the most driven, self-starting, growth-minded people out there. We’re looking for people who are as passionate about helping people and businesses grow as we are. If you do receive an interview and we decide not to move forward, we will explain why and provide you with constructive and actionable advice that you can implement in your next interview.
