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 a highly motivated, detail-oriented, and people-centered Community Development Associate to drive community partnerships and support recruitment and outreach for our programs. This role sits at the intersection of community engagement, operational systems, and the future of work, connecting directly with prospective Builders, community-based organizations, and institutional partners to expand access to AI literacy and tech careers for underserved New Yorkers.

You'll represent Pursuit in the community, at events, info sessions, and through partnerships, and play a key role in shaping and executing our outreach strategy. You'll also work behind the scenes to manage data, streamline workflows, and support admissions operations using tools like Airtable, SurveyMonkey Apply, HubSpot, and Google Workspace. This is a great fit for someone who's energized by meeting people, building systems, and making things happen.

While AI expertise is not a requirement, you should be curious and excited about its potential to transform the job market, and eager to gain hands-on experience as we build new tools, including a custom admissions app powered by AI. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, is comfortable with autonomy, and wants to be part of a mission-driven team building the future of tech access and economic mobility.
Key Responsibilities
Community Engagement & Outreach
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with community-based organizations, city agencies (e.g. NYCHA), and grassroots leaders to support recruitment and mission-aligned partnerships
  • Represent Pursuit at in-person and virtual events, including info sessions, job fairs, and community forums, to share our mission and recruit prospective Builders
  • Facilitate clear, compelling presentations about Pursuit's programs, and serve as a trusted point of contact for external partners
  • Collaborate on outreach strategy, including identifying new partner opportunities, setting engagement targets, and supporting campaign execution
