Alum Coordinator
The Organization: Merit America
The American economy is broken. Today 53 million working adults–nearly half of the U.S. workforce–do not earn a living wage. And these workers have few options to advance: college is too long and expensive, full-time bootcamp programs don’t offer the flexibility they need, and online courses don’t have the structure or support to translate learning into a new job. This catch-22 perpetuates a cycle of poverty–talented workers stuck in low-wage roles, with no way to advance their ambition for themselves and their families.
Merit America creates a pathway to family-sustaining careers for Americans without 4-year degrees.
Our combination of online learning and best-in-class coaching prepares learners for entry level jobs in IT support, java development, and data analytics that usually offer twice what they were earning before the program. Merit works with companies to identify jobs that will be a great fit for our learners, and provides students with 12 weeks of job placement coaching and support to ensure they get the roles they will excel in.
At Merit America, we believe our graduates are a huge source of power for Merit America. These busy, talented alums are our best recruiters, our best spokespeople, the best proof of our program’s success–immediately, and over time, as well as the best source of support for each other.
To that end, Merit America is looking for an Alum Coordinator.
The Opportunity
The primary mission of the Alum Coordinator is to build and maintain strong relationships between Merit America’s graduates and the organization, leveraging alums to build awareness and trust in the organization and recruit new learners. As the Alum Coordinator at Merit America, you will work directly with alums to identify needs, build programs, and measure effectiveness with the ultimate goal of increasing recommendations from our alum base and a deeper bench of alum who are Merit America champions..
The Alum Coordinator will sit in the Brand team at Merit America.

Develop programs for support & learner recruitment
Build relationships
