Who We Are:
Daivergent ( is a mission-driven technology startup headquartered in NYC. We believe that every adult with disability deserves to realize their fullest potential. We have developed the world's first all-virtual curriculum to help them build employment, life, and social skills -- taught 100% online.
As an Online Coach for Daivergent, you will play a crucial role in empowering our adult clients with diverse backgrounds and abilities to achieve their personal and professional goals. Your responsibilities include teaching and modeling professional job skills, supporting on life skills development, and improving communication + social aptitude, all through our accessible video conferencing platform.
NOTE: This is a 1099 gig-based role. That means you will set your own hours and be given the opportunity to accept clients, but you are not guaranteed to receive clients. This is not intended to be a full time job. Our clients typically request coaching between 5:00 PM to 11:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time) for 1-3 hours per week for up to 6-12 months.

- You love teaching others and seeing them maximizing their potential, and know how to motivate people to achieve their goals
- You are excited about being part of a young company that is growing quickly and takes your feedback seriously
