Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: This exciting full-time, on-site opportunity is based at our Austin, Texas campus. We offer relocation support for the right candidate.
Join Alpha in our quest to revolutionize education as we seek a dynamic leader to unlock new possibilities for our students. If you're adept at forging high-achieving teams and are passionate about pioneering youth development, this is your moment to make a significant difference.
In this role, you'll be empowered to elevate our innovative learning model. Grounded in learning science and driven by adaptive technology, we're reshaping educational boundaries. Your expertise is essential to bring this vision to life.
As a catalyst, coach, and strategist, you'll guide our frontline facilitators—our Guides—who inspire rather than just instruct. Your leadership will refine how Alpha Guides engage with students, from crafting playbooks and feedback systems to exemplifying outstanding facilitation skills.
Picture harnessing your top-tier coaching skills with a fervent commitment to youth development. Picture leading a team that not only helps our students succeed but also thrive—discovering hidden talents and life skills along the way. If you've broken records, turned failing ventures around, or achieved the 'impossible,' you'll find your place here.
