Students at Alpha don't attend traditional lectures. They advance through adaptive applications at double the rate of conventional classrooms while simultaneously developing practical life competencies. Your responsibility is ensuring three core commitments are fulfilled for every child in your cohort: they develop a genuine love of learning, they progress at 2x speed, and they acquire capabilities no traditional textbook provides. You will also mentor the Guides who deliver these same outcomes throughout your campus.
Data informs every choice, and every interaction is in-person. You divide your time between your personal student cohort and the Guides under your leadership — with identical expectations for both: quantifiable advancement, without exception. When a Guide's session underperforms, you don't generate documentation; you observe directly, debrief immediately, and resolve it that same afternoon.
You'll witness reserved children present with confidence to adults. You'll observe students who previously "despised school" request to remain after hours. And you'll recognize that the standard you maintained is precisely what enabled their transformation, because upholding high expectations demonstrates your belief in their potential to meet them.
You may be establishing a completely new campus from the ground up and creating the foundational culture that will shape the institution. As the campus develops, your role transitions from operational founder to coaching executive, building the team that expands Alpha's approach across your territory.
If this opportunity appeals to you, submit your application now.
What You Will Be Doing
- Facilitating one-hour interactive life skills and social-emotional learning (SEL) sessions with K-8 students covering subjects such as public speaking and concentration, using Alpha's established framework
- Conducting daily motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of students achieve their weekly application goals through age-appropriate motivators including school currency and performance leaderboards
- Developing Guides via direct observation, specific feedback, and practical training so they execute workshops with equivalent energy and accuracy
- Analyzing Coachbot data and student records to determine which students require intervention, then providing that intervention directly
- Personally mentoring your assigned student cohort, demonstrating the coaching and motivational techniques you expect from all Guides
- Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum content. Students progress through adaptive apps; your role is elevating the people who support them.
- Delivering traditional classroom lectures. You function as 80% motivator, 20% content expert; if you prefer standing at a whiteboard, this position isn't suitable.
- Compromising standards due to parent or administrator pressure. When a student reaches 99%, the response is "not yet" — and you'll receive full institutional support to maintain that boundary.
- Working from an office processing administrative documents. The majority of your time is spent directly with students and Guides.
- Waiting extended periods for performance feedback. Outcomes are visible in real-time through Coachbot and adjustments occur immediately.
Execute Alpha's 3 Promises throughout your cohort and among the Guides you develop: every child loves school, advances at 2x velocity, and acquires genuine life competencies.
Basic Requirements
- Currently located in or prepared to relocate to Beverly Hills, CA; La Jolla (San Diego), CA; Piedmont, CA; South Bay (LA), CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; Bethesda, MD; Raleigh, NC; New York City, NY (relocation assistance available)
- Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, or related discipline (Master's preferred; traditional teaching credentials are not sought)
- Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or related area
- Demonstrated experience creating and executing educational programs, curricula, or training initiatives
- Proven history of managing a team of 5 or more individuals, including responsibility for hiring and performance-based termination decisions
- Background in coaching, mentoring, or delivering constructive feedback to enhance engagement and performance outcomes
- Experience supporting youth ages 5–14 in educational or developmental contexts
- Competency in leveraging data and performance metrics to inform decisions and drive continuous improvement
- Legal authorization to work in the United States
- Master's degree in Education, Psychology, or Business
- Experience as an athletic coach, camp director, or youth program leader where you directly motivated children to achieve quantifiable objectives
- History coaching adults in positions where their performance was measured and evaluated
- Confidence performing before large groups of children. The type of presence that commands attention in a room full of 8-year-olds.
