Job Description

Job Description

You’ve built a successful career. You delivered results, earned recognition, and established yourself as a high performer. But even with those achievements, you may feel something is missing: the deeper fulfilment that comes from aligning your ambition with purpose and impact.

At Grow and Glow Tribe , we work with accomplished professionals across Canada who are ready to redefine success. We provide structured systems, mentorship, and leadership development training that enable you to design a career pathway where excellence, flexibility, and meaning come together.

Your Focus Areas

• Guiding other professionals as they explore new career directions

• Introducing award-winning leadership and personal development resources

• Engaging in mentorship — both receiving guidance and offering support

• Building a sustainable pathway that reflects both your ambition and your values

You’ll Succeed in This Role If You…

• Bring 7+ years of professional experience (corporate, consulting, education, or coaching)

• Have a track record of achievement but want to channel it into a more fulfilling direction

• Value integrity, conscious leadership, and excellence

• Believe leadership and growth are lifelong commitments

• Are motivated by creating impact as much as delivering results

What You’ll Gain

• Flexibility to design your work around your lifestyle, whether you’re based in Toronto, Vancouver, or working remotely across Canada

• A proven framework and digital tools designed to accelerate authentic results

• Ongoing mentorship and advanced leadership development training

• Collaboration with other accomplished, high-performing professionals who share your drive for growth

What This Is Not

• A fixed-schedule or salaried role

• A setup where leads or clients are handed to you

• Suitable for students or those requiring visa sponsorship

• A fit for anyone seeking instant results without long-term commitment

If you’re ready to take the success you’ve already achieved and channel it into a more aligned, flexible, and impactful chapter, we’d love to connect and explore whether this role is the right fit.
