Alpha is transforming the student experience. Our students don't endure traditional lectures—they advance through adaptive technology, achieve mastery at twice the conventional pace, and develop practical life competencies. Your role is to ensure our "3 Promises" materialize for each student in your cohort and to equip our Guides with the capability to deliver the same results.
You will combine exceptional coaching expertise with dynamic presentation skills, converting workshops, data-informed motivational sessions, and precise feedback into powerful learning experiences. If you have broken performance benchmarks, transformed struggling performers into high achievers, or consistently reject mediocrity, we want you constructing excellence alongside us.
What makes Alpha compelling?
- Elevated compensation for high-cost markets – enhanced pay structure beyond our standard guide positions to reflect metropolitan living expenses
- Robust benefits package & paid time off – extensive health coverage and substantial PTO
- Relocation support – offered to exceptionally qualified candidates
- Development-focused environment – you will receive coaching, professional development, and defined routes to expanded influence
What you will be doing
- Developing and advancing Guides to deliver Alpha's workshops with world-class precision
- Building comprehensive Guide Playbooks that document facilitation best practices, design engaging learning experiences, and address operational challenges
- Delivering consistent, targeted feedback to Guides that elevates student participation and outcomes
- Personally coaching a select cohort of students, demonstrating advanced motivation and coaching techniques
What you will NOT be doing
- Developing lesson plans – your Guides support students working through adaptive technology; your emphasis is training them to become outstanding motivators
- Accepting reduced standards – when our success threshold is 100%, your responsibility is upholding that expectation
- Running uninspiring training sessions – you will develop Guides through dynamic, energizing, experiential professional development
Key responsibilities
Develop Guides and students to ensure every learner in your cohort enjoys school, achieves learning at 2× velocity, and gains mastery of life skills. No exceptions.
Candidate requirements

- Hold a Bachelor's degree in any discipline.
- Minimum 5 years of professional experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or comparable fields.
