Alpha is committed to transforming education—and we are seeking an accomplished leader to unlock new possibilities for our students. If you excel at developing high-performing teams and possess genuine passion for innovative youth development, this opportunity offers a platform for meaningful impact.

This role grants you the autonomy and resources to elevate our research-backed learning model. Grounded in learning science and enhanced by adaptive technology, we are expanding the boundaries of educational achievement. Your expertise will be essential in bringing this vision to reality.

You will serve as the strategist, the mentor, and the driving force behind our Guides—the learning facilitators on the front lines who inspire rather than simply instruct. Your leadership will define how Alpha Guides engage with students, through the creation of implementation playbooks, feedback systems, and the demonstration of exemplary facilitation techniques.

Consider the opportunity to apply elite coaching capabilities alongside hands-on youth development expertise. Consider directing a team dedicated to ensuring students not only achieve but flourish—discovering latent abilities and essential life competencies. If you have exceeded benchmarks, revitalized underperforming initiatives, or accomplished what others deemed unattainable, you belong here.

Why Alpha?

  • Competitive compensation - we ensure education professionals receive fair market pay
  • Comprehensive benefits and leave - we support our team through robust benefits and paid time off
  • Professional development culture - we embody the growth mindset we instill in students, offering coaching, training, and pathways to leadership
  • Relocation support available for exceptional candidates

If you understand what it takes to assemble an elite team, join Alpha and help redefine 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, the design of engaging learning experiences, and strategies for overcoming obstacles
  • Delivering consistent, practical feedback to Guides that enhances student engagement and outcomes
  • Personally coaching a small student cohort, demonstrating advanced coaching and motivational techniques

What you will NOT be doing

  • Creating lesson plans – Guides support student learning via adaptive applications; your focus is coaching them to become outstanding facilitators
  • Compromising standards – when the passing threshold is 100%, your role is to uphold that expectation
  • Conducting uninspiring training – you will develop Guides through dynamic, energetic, experiential learning sessions

Key responsibilities

Develop and train a team of Guides to deliver the Alpha system with world-class quality.

Candidate requirements

  • Hold a Bachelor's degree in any discipline.
  • Minimum 5 years of professional experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or a related discipline.
  • Proven track record of designing and executing innovative educational programs, curricula, or training solutions.
  • Exceptional leadership and mentorship capabilities with experience building, managing, and inspiring high-performing teams.
  • Background working with youth (ages 5-18) in educational or developmental settings.
  • Skilled in data analysis and leveraging metrics to inform decisions and drive continuous improvement.
  • Ability 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.
