$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}  ($50 USD/hour)

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills sessions for K-8 groups covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other essential competencies, modifying the existing framework and creating new sessions when you identify unmet needs
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation meetings that drive every student to 100% completion of weekly app objectives, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (campus currency, leaderboards), and your individual relationship with each student to overcome resistance
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's competency-based evaluation) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students who do not achieve mastery until they do
• Adjusting your approach across a broad developmental spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and personal accountability
• Serving as the adult who maintains expectations and the adult students trust; connection creates the foundation for challenge, and challenge demonstrates your confidence in their potential

• Delivering traditional instruction at a whiteboard; academic content resides in the applications, not in your delivery
• Developing curriculum materials from the ground up; you activate an established framework through energy and narrative skill
• Passively monitoring students on devices; motivation in this model is active, individualized, and continuous
• Reducing a weekly target to enable a student to meet it; when a student falls behind, the solution is increasing effort, not lowering the standard
• Evaluating homework, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent outreach; Campus Leads manage family communication, and the other tasks are not part of this environment

Drive every student in your K-8 cohort to complete weekly learning objectives, achieve mastery of each life skill, and conclude the year affirming they valued your guidance.

• Available to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Brownsville, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX (Central, South, or The Woodlands); Park City, UT; or Toronto, Canada (relocation assistance provided)
• Bachelor's degree in any discipline
• Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (classroom instruction, coaching, tutoring, camp leadership, or youth program management)
• A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging objective: the objective itself, your actions, and the result
• Comfort allowing AI to manage instructional delivery while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills development
• Regular use of generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto location)

• Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp leadership, theater, or extracurricular programs where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward defined objectives
• Demonstrated record of high personal achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), indicating that maintaining rigorous standards for others reflects your character, not merely your role
• Communication and presence sufficient to command the attention of a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without volume escalation
• Proven ability to transform disengaged or reluctant students into active, committed learners
