Program Director, Radiologic Technology

About Stepful : Stepful is a workforce platform redefining how America's largest health systems build, train, and retain their talent. Since our founding in 2021, Stepful’s trained over 32,000 practice-ready healthcare workers. Layering onto our successful direct-to-consumer training, Stepful partners with leading healthcare institutions to address the growing national shortage of healthcare workers. We’re improving access to quality healthcare for everyone, everywhere, and improving access to healthcare career ladders for those who need them most. Our students form the talent pipelines for major employers such as NY-Presbyterian, Mt. Sinai, HCA, Providence, CVS, and Walgreens. We have partnerships with half of the top 10 health systems in the US and are in process with many more. Stepful is backed by Y Combinator, Reach Capital, and AlleyCorp, with a recent $55M Series C led by Oak HC/FT . We were named the #1 EdTech company in the U.S. by TIME for 2025 . Our values : We credit much of our success to our exceptional team. We’re looking for mission-driven builders who thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, and embody our four core values: Care first : We do whatever it takes for our students to succeed. 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. 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 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.
