DescriptionTitle: Growth Manager, CA and CO
Department: Growth Team
Location: Remote, California-based
Travel: Regular travel within CA and periodic travel to CO, plus occasional national travel as needed (approximately 30%-50% travel, depending on the time of year)
The PositionThe Manager of Growth (CA and CO) serves as Reach University’s lead market-builder in California and Colorado — a visible, field-oriented network builder who expands our presence, cultivates high-trust relationships, and turns opportunity into sustained partnership. This leader drives Reach’s growth strategy across Reach Teachers College (RTC) programs, including Colorado undergraduate offerings and California undergraduate and graduate pathways. The majority of the Manager’s time and attention will be focused on California.
The Manager of Growth is energized by Reach’s North Star — pioneering pathways to upward mobility through higher education in the workplace — and brings authenticity and conviction to every conversation, helping secure new employer partners who collaborate with Reach to expand career opportunity within their communities.
Most RTC employer partners are public school districts. Reach also partners with charters, non-profits, and other educational institutions to support their staff to earn degrees and credentials. The Growth Manager drives the early phases of the employer partner lifecycle. This includes building awareness, generating qualified leads, converting new partners through MOU execution, and launching new partners through onboarding and an initial candidate recruitment info session.
This role is a natural connector — someone who thrives in conversation, builds credibility quickly, and represents Reach’s apprenticeship model with clarity, conviction, and energy. Whether presenting to district leaders, meeting with HR teams, or following up with prospective partners, this leader translates Reach’s mission into compelling, actionable partnerships that produce candidate pipelines and long-term collaboration. In California, this role requires strong fluency in credentialing pathways to ensure that outreach, recruitment messaging, and partner guidance are accurate, strategic, and aligned to program realities.
The Manager of Growth also leads and coordinates regional ambassador contractors who expand Reach’s visibility, generate referrals, and support event-based outreach. This role blends external relationship-building with disciplined execution — ensuring that opportunities move cleanly through pipeline stages and transition effectively to Employer Success and internal teams.
This position requires a dynamic leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy, employer partner expansion, and human connection — someone energized by being in the field, building trust, and turning conversations into sustained institutional partnerships.
