Leadership Assessment & Development Facilitator (m/w/d)

About Accelerate Health

Accelerate Health helps founders and CEOs build the clarity, resilience, and energy they need to lead sustainably.

Through our flagship program VANTAGE, we combine science-based coaching, physiological diagnostics, community, and immersive retreats to help impact-driven leaders thrive in high-pressure environments.

We work at the intersection of leadership, human performance, health, and transformation, and we are building a brand that founders talk about long after the experience ends.

Why This Role Exists

At Accelerate Health, our mission is to help founders lead with clarity, resilience, and integrity; not just for short bursts of performance, but over the long run. Our programs are designed as a progressive leadership journey.

They begin by restoring the foundations: physical health, energy, and nervous system regulation. This first phase helps founders stabilize, recover focus, and create the capacity to reflect. From there, the work deepens.

In the second phase of the journey, founders are ready to look inward: at how they lead, relate, decide, and respond under pressure. This is where leadership assessment, diagnostics, and psychologically informed development become essential.

To support this transition, we are looking for a Leadership Assessment & Development Facilitator who can:

work with assessment-based insights as a mirror for self-awareness,
translate diagnostics into meaningful 1:1 coaching and group learning,
and support founders through deeper leadership, emotional, and mental development.

This role sits at a critical point in the overall journey. It helps founders integrate insight with action, turning awareness into more grounded leadership, healthier relationships, and clearer decision-making.

Working closely with the Program Lead, and in complement to our health and performance coaching, this role focuses on the inner architecture of leadership: identity, relational patterns, emotional regulation, and choices made under pressure.

In doing so, it helps founders not only perform better but lead in ways that are sustainable, human, and aligned with the impact they want to create.
