Job description

About Pursuit

Pursuit is a social impact organization building the future of economic mobility in the age of AI.

For over a decade, we’ve created life-changing outcomes through training programs for adults from low-income backgrounds—especially those without college degrees. Our graduates have generated nearly $1 billion in lifetime wage gains. Now, as AI reshapes the future of work, Pursuit is evolving as a leader at the intersection of AI, jobs, economic opportunity, and tech innovation. We’re becoming an AI-native organization: training AI-native talent, embedding AI across our operations, and building software to scale our impact. Beyond direct training, we’re driving systems change. Through initiatives like the Good Jobs Guarantee, we’re advocating for outcomes-based funding and national policy to make economic mobility possible for millions.

About the Role

Pursuit is seeking short-term support to help update our financial models and advise on future financing strategies. This is currently scoped as an 8 week opportunity with potential to extend, and offers an exciting opportunity to apply financial modeling skills, analyze historical data, and support strategic decision-making processes, gaining real-world business experience in a tech-driven environment. It is ideal for an MBA student or recent graduate with 2–3 years of consulting, investing, or banking experience and is looking for project-based work in the mission-driven space. Non MBA candidates  will be considered if they can demonstrate relevant professional background, with strong financial modeling skills, an ability to work independently in fast-paced environments, and experience working directly with c suite.

**This is a part-time, remote role (U.S. based) with expected 10-20 hours a week. Hours may shift week to week, but availability should generally fall between 8 AM – 7 PM EST and include touchpoints on Tuesdays and Thursdays.**

Key Responsibilities

  • Maintain and update cash flow forecasts and projections for internal management.
  • Support modeling work related to evolving Pursuit’s existing bond into a more flexible revenue share structure
  • Help recapitalize our PBC entity, including evaluating options and preparing materials to enable future financing
  • Create clean, adaptable models and financial materials for internal and external stakeholders

You’re a Great Fit If You:

  • Strong financial modeling and Excel skills; able to own and execute scoped modeling tasks independently
  • Some exposure to capital markets, lending, or structured finance a plus
  • At least 3 years experience in banking, consulting, investing, or startup finance preferred
  • Strong project management and communication skills — able to work across a few senior stakeholders with light-touch guidance
  • Self-starter who can work with limited structure or guidance and drive work forward proactively
  • MBA student or recent MBA graduate with curiosity about social impact and mission-driven finance, looking for a short-term project

Structure and Compensation

  • Estimated at ~$1,000/week for ~20 hours/week over 8 week, based on experience, availability, and profile.
  • Remote, flexible hours: Hours may shift week to week, but availability should generally fall between 8 AM – 7 PM EST and include touchpoints on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
  • Works closely with CEO and CFO, with light mentorship and weekly check-ins
  • Role can be remote, with flexible hours

Pursuit values diversity:

Our team has a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, and we value the richness that diversity brings to our organization. We welcome new perspectives and affirm that all employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, ancestry, religion, national origin, age, familial or marital status, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, gender identity or expression, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other classification protected by federal, state, or local law.
