Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a full-time, in-person employee role at one of our campuses listed below. Please review the location options before applying.
At Alpha, we’re rewriting what school feels like. Our kids don’t sit through lectures—they sprint through adaptive apps, master content twice as fast, and pick up real-world life skills along the way. Your mission is to make sure those “3 Promises” land for every student in your cohort and to coach our Guides so they can do the same.
You’ll blend elite coaching chops with show-host energy, turning workshops, data-driven hype huddles, and targeted feedback into unforgettable learning moments. If you’ve shattered records, flipped under-performers into stars, or simply refuse to accept “good enough,” we want you building greatness with us.
Why choose Alpha?
- Premium pay for premium markets – higher compensation than our standard guide roles to match the cost of living in these metro areas
- Generous benefits & time off – comprehensive health coverage and plenty of PTO
- Relocation assistance – available for highly qualified hires
- Growth-minded culture – you’ll get coaching, training, and clear pathways to bigger impact

What you will be doing

- Creating Guide Playbooks detailing best practices for facilitation, designing rewarding learning activities, and navigating challenges
- Providing regular, actionable feedback to Guides to amplify student engagement and achievement

What you will NOT be doing
- Writing lesson plans – your Guides facilitate students' learning through adaptive apps; your focus is on training them to be exceptional motivators
- Lowering standards – if our passing grade is 100%, it's your job to maintain that bar
- Delivering boring training – you'll coach Guides through engaging, high-energy, hands-on development
Key responsibilities
