Alpha is committed to transforming education, and we are seeking a visionary leader to generate extraordinary learning opportunities for our students. If you excel at developing high-performing teams and share a profound commitment to innovative youth development, you have an opportunity to drive meaningful change.
This position offers the independence and resources necessary to elevate our advanced learning model. Grounded in learning science and enhanced by adaptive technology, we are redefining educational possibilities. Your expertise is essential to realizing this vision.
You will serve as the catalyst, coach, and strategist for our Guides—the frontline learning facilitators who inspire rather than merely instruct. Your leadership will define how Alpha Guides engage with students, from creating operational playbooks and feedback systems to demonstrating exemplary facilitation techniques.
Consider the opportunity to merge your elite coaching capabilities with a hands-on commitment to youth development. Picture yourself leading a team dedicated to ensuring our students not only succeed but flourish—discovering hidden strengths and essential life skills. If you have broken records, reversed underperforming initiatives, or accomplished the "impossible," you will thrive here.
Why Alpha?
- Competitive compensation - we maintain the principle that working in education should not require financial sacrifice
- Comprehensive benefits and leave - we prioritize our team through robust benefits packages and paid time off
- Culture of growth and learning - we embody the development mindset we cultivate in our students, offering coaching, training, and leadership pathways
- Relocation support available for exceptionally qualified candidates
If you understand what it takes to build an exceptional team, join Alpha and help us transform the future of education.
What you will be doing
- Developing and training a team of Guides to deliver the Alpha learning system with exceptional quality
- Establishing Guide Playbooks that outline facilitation best practices, designing engaging learning experiences, and addressing obstacles
- Delivering consistent, actionable feedback to Guides to enhance student engagement and outcomes
- Personally mentoring a select group of students, demonstrating advanced coaching and motivational techniques
What you will NOT be doing
- Developing lesson plans – your Guides support student learning through adaptive applications; your priority is training them to become outstanding facilitators
- Compromising standards – when our passing threshold is 100%, your responsibility is to uphold that expectation
- Conducting uninspiring training – you will coach Guides through dynamic, energized, experiential development sessions
Key responsibilities
Develop and train a team of Guides to deliver the Alpha system with exceptional quality and consistency.
Candidate requirements
- Hold a Bachelor's degree in any discipline.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or a closely related field.
- Proven track record developing and executing innovative educational programs, curricula, or training initiatives.
- Exceptional leadership and mentorship capabilities with demonstrated ability to build, manage, and inspire high-performing teams.
- Background working with youth (ages 5-18) in educational or developmental settings.
- Competence in data analysis and leveraging metrics to inform decision-making and drive continuous improvement.
- Availability to work on-site in Atlanta, GA; Las Vegas, NV; Nashville, TN; Park City (Salt Lake City), UT; or Spotswood, NJ.
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship.
