About the Role
We are looking to expand our coaching team with an experienced, highly professional, full-of-life Executive Coach who is passionate about working with mid to senior-level leaders in the financial services, banking, and law industries. Our coaching work delivers exceptional results to the individuals and organizations with whom we partner.
We pride ourselves on the expertise and professionalism of each of our team members, and top-tier service is at our core. Therefore, our expectations are high, we do not compromise on quality, AND we have a lot of fun at the same time.
Who We Are
AWC is a boutique NYC-based consulting and coaching firm with a clear focus: to help organizations in the financial services sector grow their most important assets – people and culture. For 15 years, we’ve been a trusted partner in the financial services industry, not only transforming exceptional investors into outstanding people managers but also shaping work environments where everyone can thrive.
Originally primarily focused on gender inclusivity under the banner of Advancing Women's Careers, our mission has evolved. We now embrace a broader perspective, embodying our name AWC in two-fold: Advancing Women’s Careers and Advancing Workplace Culture because we believe employers can’t do one without the other.
Our expertise, while rooted in financial services, also spans a wide range of sectors including law, academia, non-profit, and corporate industries. We have made a global impact, working with a diverse array of individuals and groups in 80+ organizations across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Our journey has led us to build an unparalleled network and a rich repository of intellectual property, establishing AWC as a leader in fostering high-performing leaders and inclusive cultures worldwide.

We warmly welcome candidates with the right background to apply, recognizing the value of diverse life experiences. Although not required, it would be an added bonus if you have a corporate professional background (prior to becoming a coach) and are NY-based (please note, though, that the majority of coaching programs are delivered remotely).
