Career Coach $100,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
- On-site at Alpha campuses in Atlanta, GA | Denver, CO | Fort Worth, TX | Houston, TX | Nashville, TN | Park City, UT
- $100,000 annual salary, distributed weekly. Full health, dental, and vision coverage from day one
- Relocation assistance provided for candidates willing to move
The most meaningful support you can offer a student who reaches 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation unsettles you, this position won't be the right fit. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's capability—continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full day's worth of academics in approximately two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No textbooks. Your responsibility centers on what technology cannot replicate: guiding young people through essential life skills including public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback. You'll facilitate interactive workshops, drive students toward achieving their learning targets, and develop relationships that transform a reserved 4th grader into someone who presents with confidence before a room of adults.
This position grows over time. During your first year, you'll guide a small student cohort and become fluent in Alpha's methodology: life skill workshops, motivation coaching, mastery-based evaluation. Once you demonstrate the ability to hold every student accountable for 100% goal completion while maintaining satisfaction scores above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes available—a role where you'll mentor a team while remaining directly engaged with students. Top performers in this role don't merely impact individual trajectories; they influence campus-wide culture and operations.
Traditional schools don't offer this opportunity. If you've been working with young people in coaching, counseling, or mentoring capacities and wish you could eliminate instructional teaching to focus purely on their development, this is your opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for K-12 students covering topics such as public speaking, focus, time management, and constructive feedback (interactive and project-driven, never lecture-based)
- Conducting daily motivation sessions where you engage individual students, assess their adaptive learning app progress (via Coachbot analytics), and challenge them to reach 100% of their weekly targets
- Creating and delivering mastery-based assessments (Test2Pass) that verify genuine skill acquisition rather than simple participation
- Cultivating authentic relationships with each student that build sufficient trust for you to coach them through resistance, distraction, and moments of self-doubt
- Monitoring student performance against satisfaction metrics and goal completion data, modifying your methods when outcomes don't meet expectations
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering classroom lectures or providing conventional academic instruction (core subjects are learned through self-directed adaptive applications, not through your teaching)
- Developing lesson plans from the ground up (Alpha supplies life skills curriculum and structured playbooks; your role is to animate them with enthusiasm and narrative)
- Handling parent communications or administrative school functions (Campus Leads manage those areas; your focus remains on students)
- Evaluating homework assignments or overseeing standardized test preparation (these elements don't exist in this environment)
- Operating independently (you're integrated into a campus team alongside Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops a love for school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and reaches 100% of their academic objectives through adaptive learning technology.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3+ years of direct experience working with K-8 students (in teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership roles)
- Willingness to work on-site at an Alpha campus location in Atlanta, GA; Denver, CO; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; Nashville, TN; or Park City, UT (relocation assistance available)
- Ability to participate in a paid training program at Alpha's Austin, TX campus
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth development: athletic coaching, camp leadership, or youth programming where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward specific objectives
- History of significant personal achievement (academic distinctions, competitive sports, or leadership positions that demanded consistent excellence)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without increasing your volume
- Proven ability to motivate unengaged or resistant students and convert them into active, enthusiastic participants
