Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: This position requires on-site presence at our Austin, Texas campus.
Traditional schools instruct students on what to think. This position focuses on teaching them how to execute.
Alpha is creating a reimagined high school model—one where students bypass lectures and rote memorization. Instead, they build, ship, communicate, and advance. They launch projects, validate ideas, and acquire real-world competencies that elude most professionals. Your responsibility is ensuring they follow through, and that they do so with excellence.
You will engage directly with high school students as they launch businesses, manage projects, and cultivate the confidence, communication ability, and competence needed for success beyond the academic setting. You are not present to deliver theoretical instruction. You are here to guide execution. You will establish elevated expectations, maintain accountability, and challenge students to produce outputs that meet real-world standards.
This position suits individuals who have accomplished something substantive outside traditional classroom settings—developed a product, expanded an audience, operated within a startup environment, or delivered results in dynamic conditions—and seek to leverage that background to cultivate emerging talent. If you seek a conventional teaching position, this opportunity is not aligned. If you aim to influence how driven teenagers think, operate, and perform, this is your platform.
If you have achieved tangible career outcomes and want to dedicate your time to developing motivated teenagers toward their full capability, this is your opportunity. Apply now
