The opportunity:
Stepful’s nursing programs are growing in Ohio, and we’re hiring a Full-Time Nurse Faculty member who wants to be part of building something from the ground up. This is a teaching-first role — covering didactic instruction, skills lab, and clinical rotations as needed for our Ohio practical nursing program — with a clinical coordination component that grows as the program scales and our Ohio footprint expands.
Right now, the teaching load is heavier. As we bring on more clinical instructors and add partner sites, the balance will shift — and you’ll have shaped how that growth happened. We’re excited for the right person to help us evolve this role over time.
You’ll report to the Program Director and work closely with our clinical partner sites, program leadership, and the instructors you’ll help develop and support as the program grows. This role requires travel to partner sites in Columbus and Toledo, and flexibility across weekdays and weekends as clinical rotations and skills labs are sometimes scheduled on weekends.
What you’ll do:
Teach across all three modalities, as needed
- Deliver didactic instruction for our Ohio practical nursing program, virtually or in person
- Lead skills lab sessions, ensuring students develop hands-on clinical competencies in a structured environment
- Provide clinical instruction at partner sites in Columbus and Toledo, maintaining consistent presence to support student learning and meet program requirements
- Be available for clinical rotations and skills labs on weekdays and weekends as the schedule requires
Support clinical instructors and sites (grows over time)
- Visit clinical sites to observe and support 1099 clinical instructors, providing coaching and feedback
- Serve as a point of contact for clinical instructors on questions, issues, and escalations
- Assess site acuity and patient population to ensure clinical placements support program competencies
Own clinical site relationships and operations
- Build and maintain working relationships with clinical site partners, including unit leadership and staff
- Stay current with clinical site policies and procedures by attending agency-provided updates
- Handle onboarding logistics for clinical instructors at each site — documentation, badging, computer access, and on-site introductions
- Manage rotation scheduling and site assignments, keeping coverage confirmed and students notified of changes
- Keep program leadership apprised of changes in clinical procedures, protocols, and site updates
What you'll bring:
- Active, unrestricted compact (multistate) RN license, or eligibility to obtain one
- Master’s degree in nursing (required for accreditation purposes)
- Experience in at least one of the following: nursing didactic instruction or clinical instruction in a nursing education program
- Current BLS/CPR certification (healthcare provider level)
- Ability to meet clinical site health and immunization requirements, including required vaccinations and background screening
- Flexibility to travel to partner sites in Columbus and Toledo, and to work weekdays and weekends as the schedule requires
- Strong organizational skills and comfort managing schedules, documentation, and logistics
- A relationship-oriented approach — this role succeeds on the strength of your working relationships with site staff, instructors, and students
Nice to have:
- Experience in clinical coordination, affiliation agreements, or clinical site relationship management
- Experience training, mentoring, or evaluating clinical instructors or preceptors
Interview Process:
- Introductory call with Talent Acquisition team member
- Interview with Hiring Manager

- FSA, HSA and commuter benefits
- Learning stipend

- Learn quickly: We test, learn with data, and iterate.
- Build together: We win when we rely on each other.
- Own it: We show up, take initiative, and show pride.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
Stepful is launching a Radiologic Technology A.A.S. program leading to ARRT (R) certification eligibility. We're partnering directly with employers to help them build their own RadTech programs, powered by Stepful: they sponsor the education of new talent, and we bring the accreditation, curriculum, instruction, and operations. Labs and clinicals happen inside their facilities, so students train where they'll eventually work, and employers build their own talent pipelines exactly where they need them.
You'll be the Clinical Coordinator of record for the program: you'll build the clinical education component from the ground up, decide which partner facilities are ready to take students, and make sure what happens at the bedside actually connects to what students learned in the classroom. Success in this role is measured through the program's clinical outcomes data and the term-by-term evaluation of how well clinical rotations correlate with classroom learning. You'll work alongside the Program Director, who owns overall program operations and accreditation, and you'll be supported by dedicated operations and partnerships teams.
This role is remote with travel to partner sites in Texas required, and reports to our Imagine Programs Lead. Per accreditation requirements, the Clinical Coordinator is a distinct role from the Program Director and is not identified as a clinical preceptor at any clinical setting.
WHAT YOU'LL DO:
Clinical curriculum and site network
- Correlate clinical and didactic education: own the alignment between what students learn in didactic and lab courses and what they're asked to do in clinical rotations, sequence clinical objectives against the curriculum, and formally evaluate how well that correlation is working each term
- Build and qualify the clinical site network: conduct and document a pre-placement evaluation of every prospective partner facility to confirm a viable learning environment and sufficient procedure volume; secure accreditor recognition of each clinical setting before any student is assigned; maintain current, signed clinical affiliation agreements; and designate at least one clinical preceptor at each recognized setting
Placement, supervision, and safety
- Run clinical placement and scheduling: determine student clinical placement (placement is decided solely by the program), assure equitable access to mobile, surgical, and trauma procedures, hold the 1:1 student-to-clinical-staff ratio, cap clinical involvement at ten hours per day, and orient every student to every site
- Enforce supervision and radiation safety in the clinical setting: assure direct supervision until competency is achieved and for all repeats, surgical procedures, and mobile procedures; assure indirect supervision thereafter; distribute student radiation exposure reports within thirty school days; and complete MRI safety screening before clinical experience
Preceptor and student development
- Develop and support clinical preceptors: onboard preceptors at each site, train them on the clinical objectives and competency evaluation system, keep them current on program policies and student progress, and serve as their day-to-day point of contact
- Track clinical competency and advise students: monitor competency progression and completed clinical hours, provide timely and documented clinical advisement, and build remediation plans for students who fall behind
Accreditation, teaching, and travel
- Support accreditation and assessment: contribute clinical evidence to the self-study report, annual reports, substantive change filings, and site visit preparation for accreditors; participate in the program's systematic assessment plan and the annual analysis of clinical outcomes data
- Teach: participate in didactic and/or clinical instruction, with the opportunity to teach clinical courses for the first cohort
- Maintain professional currency: keep current knowledge of radiography practice and educational methodologies through documented continuing professional development, and stay current on program policies, procedures, and student progress
- Travel to partner sites for site readiness evaluations, preceptor development, clinical visits, student advisement, and accreditation visits, weighted toward new site launches — likely up to once monthly in 2026, scaling to up to 50% travel starting 2027; all travel and program-related expenses reimbursed
WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
- Reliable access to a major airport and availability to travel to Texas
- Bachelor's degree or higher from an institution accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education or CHEA
- Current ARRT R.T.(R) certification
- Current Texas GMRT certificate from the Texas Board of Medical Radiologic Technology
- Minimum two years' clinical experience in radiography
- Minimum one year's experience as an instructor in a JRCERT-accredited program
- Proficient in curriculum development, supervision, instruction, evaluation, and academic advising
- Working knowledge of the JRCERT Standards for an Accredited Educational Program in Radiography and of ABHES clinical experience requirements (or willingness to learn)
BONUS POINTS IF:
- Prior clinical coordinator or clinical instructor experience in a JRCERT-accredited radiography program
- Experience managing clinical education across multiple sites or health systems
INTERVIEW PROCESS:
- Introductory call with Talent Acquisition
- Interview with Hiring Manager
- Take-Home Assignment
- Final Panel Interviews
BENEFITS AND COMPENSATION:
- Meaningful Equity Stake
- Subsidized Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance plan options
- 401(k)
- FSA, HSA and commuter benefits
- Learning stipend
- Open vacation policy, including:
- Guidance of 15 days PTO annually
- Stepful closed the last week of December
- 15 work-from-anywhere days
- 10 public holidays observed for 2026
The target base salary range for this opportunity is $80,000 - $90,000, and is part of a competitive total rewards package including equity and benefits.

We're scaling this model across the country, starting in Texas, and are looking for the academic leader who can bring it to life.
As Radiology School Program Director of record, you'll shape program design and carry accountability for the program's credentialing, completion, and job placement outcomes — success will be measured by program completion and graduation rate, ARRT credentialing exam pass rate, and job placement rate. You'll be supported by dedicated curriculum, operations, partnerships, and policy teams who build against the standards you set.

- Own program outcomes: carry accountability for metrics such as program completion and graduation rate, ARRT credentialing exam pass rate, and job placement rate; track leading indicators and identify interventions for improvement
- Lead accreditation and monitor compliance: serve as the primary academic point of contact for ABHES compliance across the program, including annual reporting, substantive change filings, and site visit readiness
Partnerships and faculty leadership
- Support conversations with our employer partners as a clinical SME: join calls or meetings led by our partnerships team, as your availability allows, speaking to the program's clinical design and answering questions from an informed practitioner's perspective
- Build and lead faculty: hire, onboard, observe, and develop didactic faculty, lab instructors, and clinical preceptors, in alignment with your vision for the program
Travel and teaching
- Travel to partner sites for site feasibility assessments, lab observations, preceptor development, and accreditation visits, weighted toward new site launches — likely once monthly in 2026, scaling to up to 50% travel starting 2027; all travel and program-related expenses reimbursed
- Option to instruct our first cohort, either virtually in didactic courses or on the ground as a clinical educator
WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
- Texas-based, with reliable access to a major airport and availability to travel
- Graduate from an accredited radiography program
- A Master's degree from a qualified institution
- Current ARRT R.T.(R) certification
- Current Texas GMRT certificate from the Texas Board of Medical Radiologic Technology
- Prior Program Director experience of an accredited radiography program
- 3+ years of full-time clinical experience in medical imaging
- 2+ years of experience as an instructor in a program at a qualified institution
- Familiarity with program accreditation and regulatory compliance, including JRCERT and ABHES accreditation requirements and process
- Strong data and technical literacy, prioritizing leading indicators over retrospective, end-of-year metrics
BONUS POINTS IF:
- You've built or launched a new academic program from the ground up, rather than only maintained an existing one
- You have direct experience partnering with employer or health-system stakeholders on workforce pipelines
- You hold an advanced degree (e.g., MEd, MHA) or certifications beyond ARRT R.T.(R)
- You've worked in a fast-growing startup or EdTech environment

- Partner with Stepful's enterprise team to support program expansion and onboarding of new employer partners.
Curriculum & Student Success
- As the Subject Matter Expert, collaborate with internal curriculum teams to continuously review and strengthen content across both programs, keeping it current with industry standards and employer expectations.
- Oversee student progress and performance, including progress monitoring, academic advising, and program completion support.
- Experiment with AI tools and other technologies to improve program workflows, reporting, and student outcomes — documenting and sharing what works.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING:
- 3+ years of experience teaching surgical technology and/or sterile processing fundamentals, including course delivery, assessment, and student support
- Active NBSTSA Certified Surgical Technologist or NCCT TS-C certification
- 5+ years of clinical or operational experience in a surgical technology or sterile processing clinical setting
- 2+ years of experience in healthcare education, training program administration, or a clinical operations role with instructional oversight — experience with regulatory or certification compliance strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated experience managing or leading a team, including contractors or adjunct instructors.
- Experience working with enterprise clients, clinical sites, or healthcare employer partners - a collaborative, relationship-first approach is essential.
- Strong cross-functional skills; comfortable working alongside instructors, students, clinical partners, and internal Stepful teams across multiple states.
- Comfort in a fast-growing organization where priorities evolve and initiative is valued.
- Willingness to travel to our employer partner sites around the US, up to 20-25% of the time

Instructors who’d like more hours may also be able to provide substitute coverage for other cohorts as needs come up.
Stepful’s instructor-led programs support students every step of the way, from preparing for the NCCT TS-C certification to launching successful careers in the operating room. We’re looking for educators who are excited to deliver high-quality online instruction, build student confidence, and help learners thrive in a virtual classroom.

- Support students in understanding Sterile Processing concepts across CRCST exam domains
- Assess student understanding through assignments, quizzes, and in-class participation
- Provide timely feedback and targeted remediation to students who are struggling academically or with confidence
- Document student progress, attendance, and performance in Stepful systems
- Collaborate with Stepful’s learning team to ensure alignment with program goals and student needs
- Offer insights to improve the student experience and curriculum delivery
What you’ll bring:
- Active Surgical Technologist Certification
- 3+ years of experience as a certified Surgical Technologist in a clinical setting
- Experience teaching, training, tutoring, or instructing students or staff
- Comfortability teaching live online classes over Zoom
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable using LMS platforms and virtual teaching tools
- Ability to follow a standardized curriculum while adapting explanations to different learning styles
- Commitment to inclusive, accessible, and career-focused healthcare education

Bonus points if:
- You have experience teaching Surgical Technology or NCCT exam preparation
- You have experience supporting diverse, underserved, or non-traditional student populations
- You have experience with online or hybrid education programs
- You have familiarity with competency-based education
Interview Process:
