The Financial Operations and Sales Instructor II will report to the Academic Director and Site Director and will teach the basics of computer applications, financial management, investment operations, sales, customer service, effective communication with customers, and CRM use from an existing but evolving curriculum. Emphasis in the classroom is on experiential learning; the students will learn the key competencies required for jobs in investment operations and/or sales through in-depth role-plays, practice, and real-life application, as guided by the instructor. The foundation of Year Up’s business model is high expectations and high support. Instructors spend much of their time guiding students in professional behavior, helping them to build confidence, and advising them on choices that will help them reach their goals. Instructor II’s are also key members of the local academic team, and are expected to support collaboration on interdisciplinary projects and serve as coaches for more junior instructors.
To be successful in this role, you’ll bring a passion for education, strong classroom experience, and a wealth of knowledge around basic economics, capital markets, and other financial topics relevant in the corporate world, as well as sales, the sales process, and customer support. You’re someone who finds satisfaction in developing and delivering creative, interactive lessons, and serving as a coach to our young adults. You’re also interested in using your experience and expertise to strengthen the overall instructional capacity of the team.
The Financial Operations and Sales Instructor II will also interact with students as a coach, group facilitator, and advocate, participating in building a positive educational environment.

ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION:
Year Up is a national 501(c)3 workforce development organization committed to ensuring equitable access to economic opportunity, education, and justice for all young adults—no matter their background, income, or zip code. Employers face a growing need for talent while millions of talented young adults lack access to meaningful careers. These inequities only further perpetuate the opportunity gap that exists in our country—a gap that Year Up is determined and positioned to close through three interconnected strategies: providing targeted skills training and connections to livable-wage employment for students and alumni; empowering others to serve and support young adults, and changing systems that perpetuate the opportunity gap. Year Up’s intensive training program utilizes a high expectations, high support model where students learn in-demand technical and professional skills and apply them during a corporate internship. Year Up has directly served more than 40,000 young adults since its founding in 2000. Year Up's nationwide presence includes Arizona, Austin, Bay Area, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Greater Atlanta, Greater Boston, Greater Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, the National Capital Region, New York City/Jersey City, Pittsburgh, Puget Sound, Rhode Island, South Florida, Tampa Bay, and Wilmington.
