Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an in-person role located at our campus in Austin, Texas.
Most schools teach students what to think. This role exists to teach them how to execute.
Alpha is building a different kind of high school, one where students don't sit through lectures or memorize content. They build, ship, communicate, and grow. They start projects, test ideas, and develop real-world skills that most adults never master. Your job is to make sure they actually do it, and do it well.
You will work directly with high school students as they build businesses, run projects, and develop the confidence, communication, and capability required to succeed beyond school. You are not here to teach theory. You are here to coach execution. You will set a high bar, hold students accountable, and push them to produce work that stands up in the real world.
This role is for people who have done something meaningful outside of a classroom, built a product, grown an audience, operated in a startup, or driven outcomes in a fast-paced environment, and want to apply that experience to develop the next generation. If you're looking for a traditional teaching role, this is not it. If you want to shape how ambitious teenagers think, act, and perform, this is where you do it.
If you've done something real in your career and want to spend your days pushing motivated teenagers toward their potential, this is where you do it. Apply now
