Alpha is transforming the classroom experience. Our students don't passively absorb lectures—they move quickly through adaptive applications, achieve mastery at twice the typical pace, and develop practical life skills in the process. Your role is to ensure the "3 Promises" become reality for every learner in your group and to develop our Guides so they deliver the same results.
You will combine expert coaching expertise with dynamic facilitation skills, transforming workshops, metrics-based motivational sessions, and precise feedback into powerful development experiences. If you have a track record of breaking performance barriers, converting struggling performers into high achievers, or consistently raising the bar beyond acceptable, we want you creating excellence alongside us.
What makes Alpha compelling?
- Elevated compensation for high-cost markets – pay exceeds our standard guide positions to reflect metropolitan cost-of-living realities
- Strong benefits package & time away – full health coverage and ample paid time off
- Support for relocation – provided for candidates who meet our qualification standards
- Development-focused environment – access to coaching, professional training, and defined routes to greater responsibility
What you will be doing
- Developing and preparing Guides to deliver Alpha's workshop programming with exceptional quality
- Building Guide Playbooks that document proven facilitation methods, techniques for creating engaging learning experiences, and approaches for overcoming obstacles
- Delivering consistent, practical feedback to Guides that drives stronger student participation and outcomes
- Personally coaching a limited group of students, demonstrating advanced motivation and guidance techniques
What you will NOT be doing
- Developing lesson plans – Guides support students through adaptive technology; you concentrate on equipping them to become outstanding motivators
- Compromising on standards – when the threshold for success is 100%, your responsibility is preserving that expectation
- Running dull training sessions – you will develop Guides through dynamic, energetic, interactive learning experiences
Key responsibilities
Develop Guides and mentor students to ensure every individual in your group enjoys the learning experience, progresses at 2× the standard rate, and gains essential life competencies. Full commitment required.
