Alpha is transforming the school experience. Our students don't passively absorb lectures—they accelerate through adaptive technology, achieve mastery at double speed, and develop practical life competencies in the process. Your role is to ensure every student in your cohort receives our "3 Promises" and to develop our Guides to deliver the same results.
You'll combine exceptional coaching expertise with high-energy facilitation, transforming professional development sessions, data-focused rallies, and personalized feedback into powerful development experiences. If you've broken performance records, elevated struggling teams to excellence, or consistently reject mediocrity, we want you to build something exceptional with us.
Why Alpha?
- Elevated compensation for high-cost markets – enhanced pay reflecting the living expenses in these metropolitan regions
- Robust benefits and time away – full health benefits and ample paid time off
- Relocation support – offered to exceptional candidates
- Development-focused environment – access to coaching, professional training, and defined advancement opportunities
What you will be doing
- Developing and training Guides to deliver Alpha's workshops with exceptional quality
- Building Guide Playbooks that document facilitation best practices, design engaging learning experiences, and address operational challenges
- Delivering consistent, practical feedback to Guides that elevates student participation and outcomes
- Coaching a small student cohort directly, demonstrating advanced motivational and instructional techniques
What you will NOT be doing
- Creating traditional lesson plans – your Guides support students through adaptive technology; you concentrate on developing them as motivational experts
- Compromising on excellence – when our benchmark is 100%, your responsibility is upholding that standard
- Running dull training sessions – you'll develop Guides through dynamic, energetic, experiential professional development
Key responsibilities
Develop Guides and students to ensure every learner in your cohort experiences genuine enthusiasm for school, achieves learning at 2× velocity, and gains essential life competencies. Zero compromises.
