Coaching Manager

Department: Product

Reports To: Program Lead

Location: Austin, TX or Indianapolis, IN

Overview

At Togetherwork, we set a high bar for clarity, collaboration, and execution. While our Product & Strategy leaders own portfolio outcomes, our individual contributors are equally essential, bringing curiosity, precision, and a commitment to excellence to every initiative. We work in deep partnership with Engineering, Revenue, CX, Operations, and Support, sharing accountability for delivering stable, modern, insight-driven products that help our customers thrive.

We expect team members to bring strong analytical thinking, operational rigor, and a willingness to roll up their sleeves to solve complex problems. Hard work is the norm, not for recognition, but for the greater good of our customers and the long-term health of our company. We embrace innovation, including responsible AI usage, to deepen insight, improve execution, and accelerate impact.

This role reflects those expectations: collaborative, data-informed, customer-centered, and grounded in professionalism and positive intent.

Role Summary

The Coaching Manager at DSOA owns the coaching function of the Inner Circle: the recruitment, onboarding, development, and ongoing support of the coaches who deliver mentorship and guidance to members. This role ensures coaching is high quality, consistent, and closely tied to the member outcomes and retention goals that drive DSOA's value.

Working alongside the Curriculum Designer, who owns the educational content members learn, the Coaching Manager owns the people and experience that bring that content to life. Together they ensure DSOA members receive a coaching experience that is expert, supportive, and worth renewing for. Success in this role requires strong people leadership, a sharp eye for coaching quality, and close partnership with the Program Lead, Member Success, and Marketing.
