Summary

Business Growth Coach – Retail & Ecommerce We are looking for an experienced Business Growth Coach to join our remote coaching team. This is an independent contractor role supporting established retail and ecommerce business owners as they work through a structured business growth program. 👋 About the Role You enjoy building genuine relationships with clients, asking thoughtful questions and helping people move forward when they feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure what to do next. You are organised, dependable and comfortable supporting clients through written coaching, community conversations and personalised Loom feedback. You know how to be encouraging without simply telling clients what they want to hear. You can hold someone accountable, challenge their thinking and help them take action while still making them feel supported. Most importantly, you care about the client experience. You notice when someone has gone quiet. You follow up when progress has stalled. You do not wait until a client is completely disengaged before taking action. You understand that strong coaching is not about giving people all the answers. It is about helping them apply the resources available to them and follow through on the work required to grow their business. ✅ What You Will Be Doing * Support a portfolio of established retail and ecommerce business owners. * Respond to client questions, progress updates and requests for feedback. * Review worksheets and client submissions. * Provide clear written and Loom video feedback. * Ask targeted questions to identify what is preventing progress. * Direct clients to the relevant lesson, worksheet or resource. * Help clients turn learning into practical next steps. * Hold clients accountable to agreed actions. * Proactively follow up with clients who become inactive or disengaged. * Recognise when a client issue needs to be escalated. * Attend coach training and team meetings. 🎯 We Are Looking For Someone Who Has * Previous experience coaching or mentoring business owners. * Experience supporting clients inside an online program, membership or community. * Strong written and verbal communication skills. * Confidence giving direct, constructive feedback. * Strong organisation and consistent follow-through. * The ability to build trust and maintain client engagement. * The ability to work within an established curriculum and coaching methodology. * Confidence using online communities, Loom and remote collaboration tools. Experience with retail, ecommerce or product-based businesses is highly regarded. 🌟 You Will Thrive in This Role If You * Build rapport quickly and make clients feel comfortable asking for help. * Are proactive and notice when someone has stopped participating. * Can be warm and encouraging while still holding clients accountable. * Ask questions before making assumptions. * Can simplify the next step when a client feels overwhelmed. * Take ownership of follow-up and do not need to be chased. * Are comfortable receiving feedback on your own coaching. * Can work independently while staying aligned with the wider team. 💻 Role Details * Independent contractor position. * Fully remote. * Flexible working arrangements with agreed response-time expectations. * Coaching is delivered primarily through an online community. * Written and Loom video feedback are required. To be considered for this role, submit the following: 1️⃣ Tell us your favorite store and why you love it. 2️⃣ A cover letter and PDF of your resume. 3️⃣ A screenshot of your results from the free Truity Enneagram test https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test. You do NOT need to purchase the full report 4️⃣ A two-minute video introduction - make sure to tell us - if you think your Enneagram results were an accurate reflection of you? (why or why not?) - tell us about a time someone you were mentoring or supporting felt stuck. How did you help them move forward? Videos longer than two minutes will not be reviewed. **Please note, all items must be completed and submitted to be considered for this role.**
