Description
- Based on-site in Austin, TX (with relocation assistance available)
- Annual salary of $150,000, disbursed weekly. Full health benefits begin on day one.
The greatest service you can offer a teenager launching a business is a refusal to accept anything less than their best. You recognize that rigorous expectations aren't burdens—they're affirmations of your belief in what that student can achieve. If this perspective resonates, continue reading.
You'll work with high school students who are building legitimate businesses with million-dollar potential. These are not hypothetical classroom exercises or business simulations. You will dedicate approximately 60-65% of your time to individual coaching sessions: pinpointing where each founder encounters friction, isolating the most impactful next step, and ensuring accountability to a concrete action plan. The remaining 35-40% is divided between academic monitoring and delivering workshops designed to equip students with practical, immediately applicable skills.
This role is not about teaching. You are responsible for holistic student outcomes: venture advancement, academic performance, and personal development in parallel. You will rely on dashboards, progress reports, and academic metrics to coach with precision rather than guesswork. When a student's grades begin to falter, you act proactively. When a venture loses momentum, you surface the underlying issue—not the convenient excuse.
Your first priority is understanding each student's business, their natural strengths, and their recurring obstacles. Over time, you become the voice they trust when challenged, because you've operated at this level yourself. The payoff is seeing a 16-year-old arrive with an untested concept and depart with a running company, the discipline to sustain it, and academic results that preserve future opportunity.
If you've been searching for a position where your operational expertise directly influences emerging founders, submit your application. If you require scripted lesson plans, predictable classroom routines, or environments where effort alone earns approval, this isn't the right fit.
What you will be doing
- Conducting 1:1 coaching sessions with student founders on strategy, execution, and scaling—occupying roughly two-thirds of your weekly schedule
- Leveraging dashboards, venture updates, and academic records to assess progress and identify priority actions
- Tracking academic performance and stepping in early when attention or time management begins to waver
- Designing and running workshops that deliver tangible, actionable learning outcomes
- Facilitating stand-ups, retrospectives, and group sessions that reinforce individual accountability to stated goals
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering traditional lectures or adhering to a standardized curriculum (you guide applied learning, not classroom teaching)
- Offering general mentorship or inspirational messaging without concrete follow-up and execution
- Handling student administration tasks—scheduling, documentation, or enrollment processes
- Attending faculty meetings or navigating institutional bureaucracy (your focus remains on direct student engagement)
Key responsibilities
Guide student founders toward ventures with $1M potential while maintaining strong academic standing.
Candidate requirements
- Able to work on-site at Alpha High School in Austin, TX (relocation assistance is provided)
- Minimum of 2 years coaching or developing others (direct reports, peers, or clients), with a documented example of a coaching engagement and its measurable results
- Professional background owning critical outcomes or performance metrics, including at least one instance demonstrating $500,000+ in annual revenue impact
- At least 1 year working directly with young people (students, junior professionals, or youth program participants) on initiatives, learning objectives, or ventures
- Legal authorization to work in the United States
Nice to have
- Direct experience founding, co-founding, or running a startup or early-stage venture
- Background as a Chief of Staff, program manager, or high-impact individual contributor with end-to-end accountability for outcomes
- Proficiency with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Copilot) to enhance coaching preparation, data analysis, or communication workflows
- Experience in K-12 education, EdTech, or programs that integrate academics with practical application (accelerators, project-based curricula, entrepreneurship initiatives)
