Alpha is committed to transforming education—and we're seeking a strategic leader to unlock new possibilities for our students. If you excel at developing high-performing teams and are deeply passionate about youth development innovation, this opportunity allows you to drive meaningful change.

This position offers the autonomy and resources to elevate our advanced learning methodology. Grounded in learning science and enhanced by adaptive technology, we're reshaping the boundaries of what education can achieve. We need your skill set to execute this vision.

You'll serve as the driving force, the mentor, and the tactical planner for our Guides—the frontline learning facilitators who go beyond traditional teaching to truly inspire. Your leadership will determine how Alpha Guides engage with students, from creating operational playbooks and feedback systems to demonstrating exemplary facilitation techniques.

Picture leveraging your exceptional coaching capabilities alongside a practical commitment to youth development. Picture guiding a team that ensures our students don't merely achieve but flourish—discovering untapped potential and essential life competencies. If you've exceeded benchmarks, reversed underperforming initiatives, or accomplished what others deemed unrealistic, you belong here.

Why join Alpha?

  • Competitive compensation - we maintain that working in education shouldn't mean accepting reduced pay
  • Comprehensive benefits and leave - we prioritize our team with robust benefits packages and paid time off
  • Development-focused environment - we practice the growth and learning mindset we instill in our students, providing coaching, training, and leadership pathways
  • Relocation support available for exceptional candidates

If you understand how to assemble an outstanding team, join Alpha and help us transform the education landscape!

What you will be doing

  • Coaching and cultivating a team of Guides to execute the Alpha learning system with exceptional quality
  • Developing Guide Playbooks that outline facilitation best practices, designing engaging learning experiences, and addressing obstacles
  • Delivering consistent, practical feedback to Guides to maximize student participation and success
  • Personally coaching a select group of students, demonstrating advanced mentoring and motivational techniques

What you will NOT be doing

  • Creating lesson plans – your Guides support student learning through adaptive applications; your priority is training them to be outstanding facilitators
  • Compromising expectations – when our passing standard is 100%, your responsibility is upholding that benchmark
  • Conducting dull training sessions – you'll develop Guides through dynamic, interactive, and energizing professional development

Key responsibilities

Coach and cultivate a team of Guides to execute the Alpha system with exceptional quality.

Candidate requirements

  • Hold a Bachelor's degree in any discipline.
  • A minimum of 5 years of professional experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or a comparable field.
  • Proven track record developing and executing innovative educational programs, curricula, or training solutions.
  • Demonstrated leadership and coaching capabilities with the ability to recruit, manage, and inspire high-performing teams.
  • Direct experience working with youth (ages 5-18) in educational or developmental settings.
  • Competency in data analysis and leveraging metrics to inform decisions and support ongoing improvement.
  • Available 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.
