The Veteran Project Manager Mentor Alliance (VPMMA) invites you to join our Career Services team. In this high-impact, pro bono role, you will be the catalyst that helps veterans and military spouses translate their unique military experience into thriving civilian careers.

• Virtual Facilitation: Co-host one monthly virtual workshop on essential transition topics such as LinkedIn optimization or interview preparation.
• Hero Connection: Provide personalized follow-up resources and brief email support to ensure mentees are successfully navigating VPMMA tools.
• Strategic Tracking: Log session outcomes in our CRM (Flowlu) and participate in a monthly sync with the Director of Career Services to evaluate program impact.

• The Expert: You have a background in career coaching, HR, or project management and a strong grasp of the civilian job market.

• The Digital Professional: You are comfortable with Google Workspace, Flowlu, and virtual meeting platforms such as Zoom or Teams.
• The Empathetic Leader: You possess a deep desire to support the military community with respect and dignity.
