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 exists to train them how to execute.
Alpha is creating a fundamentally different high school—one where students don't passively absorb lectures or memorize material. Instead, they build, ship, communicate, and grow. They launch projects, validate ideas, and cultivate practical skills that many adults never acquire. Your responsibility is ensuring they not only do this work, but do it to a high standard.
You will engage directly with high school students as they launch businesses, manage projects, and build the confidence, communication ability, and competence needed to thrive beyond the classroom. You are not here to deliver theory. You are here to coach execution. You will establish demanding standards, maintain accountability, and challenge students to produce work that holds up in real-world contexts.
This position is designed for individuals who have accomplished something substantial outside traditional academic settings—whether building a product, cultivating an audience, operating within a startup, or delivering results in high-velocity environments—and who want to leverage that experience to develop the next generation. If you seek a conventional teaching position, this isn't it. If you want to influence how ambitious teenagers think, operate, and perform, this is the opportunity.
If you've built something meaningful in your career and want to dedicate your time to propelling motivated teenagers toward their potential, this is your platform. Apply now
