Learning and Development Manager   $150,000 USD/year

Description

  • Based onsite in Spotswood, NJ or Atlanta, GA
  • $150,000 annual salary with weekly pay. Full health benefits from day one

Alpha is redefining how education works – and we're seeking a proven leader to unlock new possibilities for our students. If you excel at developing high-impact teams and are deeply committed to transformative youth development, this role offers you the platform to create lasting change.

You'll have the resources and autonomy to elevate our pioneering learning model. Grounded in learning science and supported by adaptive technology, we're reimagining the boundaries of what education can achieve. Your expertise will be essential in making this vision real.

As the strategist, coach, and catalyst for our Guides – the frontline facilitators who inspire rather than simply instruct – your leadership will define how they engage with students. You'll develop comprehensive playbooks, establish feedback systems, and demonstrate exemplary facilitation techniques.

Picture merging your elite coaching skills with a genuine commitment to youth development. Picture building a team that helps students not only achieve but flourish – discovering latent abilities and essential life competencies. If you've exceeded targets, revitalized struggling initiatives, or accomplished what others deemed impossible, you belong here.

Why Alpha?

  • Competitive compensation - we don't believe working in education should mean accepting lower pay
  • Comprehensive benefits and time off - we prioritize our team with robust benefits coverage and generous paid leave
  • Culture of growth and learning - we practice the continuous improvement we ask our students to embrace, offering coaching, professional development, and leadership pathways
  • Relocation support provided for exceptional candidates

If you understand what it takes to assemble an outstanding team, join Alpha and help us transform education!

What you will be doing

  • Developing and training a team of Guides to deliver the Alpha learning system with exceptional quality
  • Building Guide Playbooks that document facilitation best practices, design of engaging learning activities, and approaches to overcoming obstacles
  • Offering consistent, practical feedback to Guides that enhances student engagement and success
  • Personally mentoring a small group of students, demonstrating expert coaching techniques and motivational approaches

What you will NOT be doing

  • Creating lesson plans – your Guides support students' learning via adaptive applications; your role centers on training them to become outstanding facilitators
  • Compromising standards – when our passing benchmark is 100%, your responsibility is to uphold that expectation
  • Running dull training sessions – you'll develop Guides through dynamic, energizing, experiential learning

Key responsibilities

Develop and train a team of Guides to deliver 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 area.
  • Proven track record of creating and executing innovative educational programs, curricula, or training strategies.
  • Exceptional leadership and mentorship capabilities with a demonstrated ability to build, lead, and inspire high-performing teams.
  • Direct experience working with youth populations (ages 5-18) in educational or developmental settings.
  • Skilled in data analysis and leveraging performance metrics to inform decisions and drive ongoing improvement.
  • Available to work on-site in Spotswood, NJ or Atlanta, GA.
  • Authorized to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship.
