Aurora Executive Guide

reacHIRE is seeking former senior executives who are passionate about developing the next generation of leaders who want to make a meaningful impact by becoming Guides in our Aurora leadership development programs.

Aurora supports leaders across career stages, functions, and industries, helping them build the confidence, capabilities, and connections to thrive in today's rapidly evolving workplace. Drawing on their extensive executive experience, reacHIRE Guides serve as facilitators and mentors, helping participants navigate real-world challenges while strengthening their leadership capabilities and translating their learning into action. 

Through facilitated team discussions based on reacHIRE’s world-class leadership curriculum, personalized 1:1 sessions, practical leadership exercises, and on-demand learning, reacHIRE Guides help create an engaging and impactful development experience. They support participants in developing their authentic leadership styles, expanding their influence, navigating change, and building meaningful connections.

Here’s What You Can Expect:

• First, you will participate in training led by reacHIRE's team of experts to become certified as a reacHIRE Guide before leading your first cohort.
• Lead a team of 10-12 participants through the Aurora program for a duration of approximately 6 months (specific delivery dates are dependent upon your mutually-agreed assigned program.)
• Facilitate interactive discussions using reacHIRE's research-based leadership curriculum, helping participants exchange perspectives, explore leadership challenges, and apply new skills in their day-to-day work.
• Support participants through individual 1:1 sessions focused on their leadership goals, professional challenges, and growth opportunities.
• Help participants translate insights into action, reflect on their progress, and develop new leadership behaviors that create lasting impact.
• You will commit approximately 30–40 hours per cohort, including training, preparation, virtual team meetups, 1:1 coaching, and related activities over the course of a typical six-month program.

The Aurora team strives to make the Guide experience as seamless, flexible, and rewarding as possible. We provide a structured curriculum, comprehensive facilitator materials, digital tools, ongoing support, and a dedicated team to help you succeed.

Guides also become part of a community of accomplished former executives who share a passion for developing others, exchanging ideas, and continuing to learn.

What we’re looking for:

• 25+ years of first-hand corporate experience (most recently in a Sr Director level role or above) 
• A genuine interest in coaching, mentoring, and helping emerging and experienced leaders reach their full potential.
• Ability to lead engaging discussions, ask thought-provoking questions, actively listen, and create an environment where participants feel comfortable sharing and learning.
• Ability to draw on real-world leadership experience and connect program concepts to today's business challenges, including organizational change, leadership effectiveness, and emerging technologies.
• Ability to foster relationships, encourage diverse perspectives, and build meaningful connections in a virtual setting.
