ABOUT GENERATION
Generation is the world’s largest, fastest scaling global employment program, providing young and mid-career adults with the opportunity to launch successful careers and change their life trajectories. Our goal is to deliver for our learners and employers simultaneously: supporting the personal and financial well-being of our graduates, while helping businesses make entry-level hires who are higher productivity, higher quality, retain longer, and are faster to promotion than peers.
Founded by McKinsey & Company, Generation is its own legal non-profit entity active in 12 countries to date – USA, Kenya, Spain, Mexico, India, Hong Kong, France, Italy, Pakistan, Singapore, Brazil and the UK – and is actively launching additional sites. Generation USA is currently live in 13 cities, and is scaling rapidly to support learners across the country.
POSITION OVERVIEW
Generation USA is seeking a Database Administrator to join our Data Team. In order to measure progress we must collect and analyze data at all stages. Generation’s 7-step methodology has data at the center for this very important reason.

The Database Administrator will own and manage our learner data with a specific focus on the pre-program phase, from lead to enrolled student.
This is a fully remote position.
