Performance Coach

$150,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($75 USD/hour)

• Facilitating one-hour workshops on essential competencies (public speaking, focus, feedback exchange) for K-8 cohorts, executing Alpha's established playbook with precision rather than creating original content
• Conducting motivation interventions using student data and Alpha's reward infrastructure (campus currency, performance rankings) to achieve 100% goal attainment across your cohort
• Developing Guides on program adherence and standard enforcement, ensuring each coaching interaction generates clear performance improvements
• Managing your own student cohort concurrently with Guide development responsibilities
• Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide effectiveness data weekly to identify performance gaps before they escalate

• Teaching or providing academic tutoring to students. Academic content is delivered through self-paced applications without adult instruction.
• Creating new curriculum or developing original lesson materials. Established playbooks guide the work; your measure of success is execution fidelity, not creative innovation.
• Coaching Guides on instructional pedagogy. Since Guides don't deliver instruction, you'll develop their capacity for energy management, student motivation, and accountability practices instead.
• Accepting 99% performance when the standard is 100%. Maintaining rigorous expectations demonstrates your confidence in student capability.
• Serving as the campus emotional support figure. Students receive genuine connection alongside direct feedback and meaningful accountability.

Execute Alpha's three core commitments for every student in your cohort: fostering genuine enthusiasm for school, accelerating learning to twice the pace of conventional classrooms, and cultivating meaningful life competencies.
