Alpha is redefining education, and we need a strategic leader to create transformative opportunities for our students. This role is designed for someone who excels at developing high-performing teams and is deeply committed to innovative approaches in youth development.

You will have the autonomy and resources to elevate our learning methodology. Grounded in learning science and enhanced by adaptive technology, our approach challenges traditional educational boundaries. Your expertise will be essential to realizing this vision.

As the coach, strategist, and catalyst for our Guides—the learning facilitators who inspire rather than simply instruct—you will shape how they engage with students. This includes creating operational playbooks, establishing feedback systems, and demonstrating exemplary facilitation techniques.

This position combines elite coaching capability with hands-on youth development. You will lead a team dedicated to ensuring students not only achieve academic success but also discover hidden strengths and essential life skills. If you have a track record of exceeding targets, revitalizing underperforming initiatives, or accomplishing what others deemed impossible, you belong here.

Why Alpha?

  • Competitive compensation - working in education should not require financial compromise
  • Comprehensive benefits and time off - we support our team with robust benefits and generous paid leave
  • Culture of development - we practice the same commitment to growth and learning we ask of our students, providing coaching, training, and leadership pathways
  • Relocation support for exceptional candidates

If you understand what it takes to build exceptional teams, join Alpha and help us transform education.

What you will be doing

  • Developing and training a team of Guides to deliver the Alpha learning system with excellence
  • Building Guide Playbooks that outline facilitation best practices, design of engaging learning activities, and strategies for overcoming obstacles
  • Delivering consistent, actionable feedback to Guides that enhances student engagement and outcomes
  • Personally mentoring a small student cohort, demonstrating advanced coaching and motivational techniques

What you will NOT be doing

  • Creating lesson plans – Guides facilitate student learning through adaptive applications; your role centers on training them to be outstanding facilitators
  • Compromising standards – when the passing grade is 100%, you are responsible for upholding that expectation
  • Conducting dull training sessions – you will coach Guides through dynamic, high-energy, experiential development

Key responsibilities

Develop and train a team of Guides to deliver the Alpha system with world-class excellence.

Candidate requirements

  • Hold a Bachelor's degree in any discipline.
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or related areas.
  • Proven track record developing and executing innovative educational programs, curricula, or training solutions.
  • Exceptional leadership and mentorship capabilities with a history of building, managing, and inspiring high-performing teams.
  • Background working with youth (ages 5-18) in educational or developmental settings.
  • Strong analytical skills and experience leveraging metrics to inform decisions and drive continuous improvement.
  • Ability to work on-site in Atlanta, GA; Las Vegas, NV; Nashville, TN; Park City (Salt Lake City), UT; or Spotswood, NJ.
  • Authorized to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship.
