Description
- On-site in Austin, TX (relocation support available)
- $150,000 annual salary, paid weekly. Health benefits begin day one.
The best way to support a teenager launching a business is to refuse to accept mediocrity. You understand that maintaining high standards isn't about applying pressure—it's about demonstrating genuine belief in what the student can accomplish. If this perspective resonates, continue reading.
You'll work with high school students running legitimate companies with $1M upside potential. These are not classroom exercises or theoretical simulations. Approximately 60-65% of your time will be spent in one-on-one coaching: pinpointing where each founder faces obstacles, determining the highest-impact next step, and ensuring accountability to a concrete action plan. The remaining 35-40% is divided between academic supervision and facilitating workshops that equip students with practical skills, not merely theoretical knowledge.
This role is not traditional teaching. You take ownership of student outcomes across three dimensions: venture advancement, academic performance, and personal development. You'll leverage dashboards, business metrics, and academic records to guide with data-driven clarity rather than guesswork. When a student's grades begin declining? You step in before it escalates. When a venture loses momentum? You identify the underlying issue, not the surface-level excuse.
You'll begin by understanding each student's business, recognizing their capabilities, and identifying their bottlenecks. Within several months, you become the advisor whose feedback they genuinely value—because you've operated in the real world yourself. The payoff is witnessing a 16-year-old arrive with just an idea and depart with a working enterprise, the rigor to sustain it, and academic results that preserve every future opportunity.
If you've been seeking a position where your operational background directly influences emerging founders, submit your application now. If you require structured lesson plans, classroom predictability, or an environment where effort alone is celebrated, this isn't the right fit.
What you will be doing
- Providing 1:1 coaching to student founders on strategy, execution, and growth challenges — approximately two-thirds of your working hours
- Analyzing student dashboards, venture updates, and academic metrics to assess progress and set priorities
- Tracking academic standing and stepping in proactively when attention or time management begins to falter
- Designing and delivering workshops focused on tangible, applied outcomes
- Facilitating stand-ups, debriefs, and group sessions that reinforce student accountability to their commitments
What you will NOT be doing
- Teaching formal lessons or adhering to predefined curricula (you guide applied learning, not classroom-based instruction)
- Offering broad mentorship or inspirational messaging without concrete follow-up actions
- Handling student administration tasks—scheduling, documentation, or enrollment processes
- Attending faculty meetings or dealing with institutional bureaucracy (your focus remains student-centered)
Key responsibilities
Guide student founders toward building $1M-potential ventures while ensuring they maintain strong academic standing.
