Description
- On-site at an Alpha campus: Atlanta, GA · Oklahoma City, OK · Tulsa, OK · Austin, TX · Keller (Fort Worth), TX · The Woodlands (Houston), TX · Park City (Salt Lake City), UT · Toronto, Canada
- $150,000/year W2 salary, paid weekly. Day-one health benefits.
- Relocation support available
Telling a kid who scored 99% that they didn't pass is the most supportive action you can take. If that statement made you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If it resonated, read on.
Alpha's model allows students to complete academic learning in two hours daily using self-directed AI-powered apps. No instructors. No lectures. No classroom management of curriculum. This structure enables you to focus on work that genuinely shifts trajectories: facilitating high-impact workshops on public speaking, concentration, and feedback; driving students toward complete goal achievement using live analytics; and developing the Guides on your team.
A typical morning may begin with a one-on-one Guide coaching session, analyzing performance data and pinpointing cohort gaps. By midday you're running a live student workshop, executing a playbook activity on feedback exchange. Afternoons are dedicated to motivation work: engaging individual students, identifying their drivers, and leveraging Alpha's incentive framework to re-engage a reluctant 7th grader. You maintain direct responsibility for your own cohort, ensuring you remain proficient in the competencies you're coaching others to build.
You've likely been the outlier in education: overly analytical, overly outcome-oriented, overly willing to question conventional approaches to working with kids. Alpha may be the first environment where you belong. You'll begin coaching Guides immediately, and as you produce measurable outcomes at scale, your authority over campus-wide program standards expands.
Uphold the standard. Transform the student. Apply now.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour live workshops on life competencies (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) for K-8 (elementary and middle school) cohorts, executing Alpha's playbook rather than creating content independently
- Conducting motivation sessions leveraging student analytics and Alpha's incentive framework (school currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% student goal attainment
- Developing Guides on program adherence and standards enforcement, ensuring each session yields concrete improvement steps
- Managing your own student cohort while simultaneously coaching other Guides
- Monitoring student satisfaction scores, goal completion rates, and Guide performance data weekly to identify underperformance before it escalates
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering lectures or providing tutoring on academic content. Students progress through self-guided apps without direct adult instruction.
- Creating curriculum or developing lesson plans independently. The playbook is established; success is measured by execution fidelity, not creativity.
- Coaching Guides on instructional pedagogy. Guides do not teach, so your coaching focuses on energy, motivation, and accountability.
- Accepting 99% when the standard is 100%. Maintaining the standard demonstrates your belief in their capability to reach it.
- Serving as the "emotional support figure" common in most schools. Students receive connection here, alongside honest feedback and genuine consequences.
Key responsibilities
Fulfill Alpha's three commitments to every student in your cohort: they love school, learn twice as fast as a traditional classroom, and develop real life skills.

Nice to have
- Master's degree in Education, Psychology, Organizational Leadership, or a related field
