Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an in-person role based at our Austin, Texas campus.
Most educational institutions teach students what to think. This position is designed to teach them how to execute.
Alpha is constructing a fundamentally different high school—one where students don't passively absorb lectures or memorize facts. Instead, they build, ship, communicate, and grow. They launch projects, experiment with ideas, and cultivate real-world competencies that most adults never acquire. Your responsibility is to ensure they actually accomplish this, and accomplish it at a high standard.
You will engage directly with high school students as they launch businesses, manage projects, and build the confidence, communication skills, and capacity needed to thrive beyond the classroom. You are not here to deliver theory. You are here to coach practical execution. You will establish rigorous expectations, maintain accountability, and challenge students to produce work that meets real-world standards.
This position is designed for individuals who have accomplished something substantial outside traditional academic settings—built a product, cultivated an audience, worked within a startup, or delivered results in a high-velocity environment—and are ready to apply that expertise to developing the next generation. If you're seeking a conventional teaching position, this isn't it. If you want to influence how ambitious teenagers think, operate, and perform, this is your opportunity.
If you've built something meaningful in your career and want to dedicate your time to driving motivated teenagers toward their full potential, this is where it happens. Apply now
