Description
You have completed difficult challenges. You have operated within rigorous standards. You understand the distinction between effort and results. If you are ready to apply that capability in a role that shapes a young person's future, this position is designed for you.
Alpha School employs AI-powered 1:1 learning that enables students to complete core academics in approximately two hours daily. This structure allows the remainder of the day for life skills development, passion-driven projects, and meaningful growth. At our most rigorous campuses, students require more than oversight. They need a dependable mentor who can assess the environment, establish expectations, and guide them through resistance, distraction, and uncertainty.
This is not a conventional teaching position. You will not deliver lectures, assign grades, or develop curriculum. You will coach. You will facilitate structured life-skills workshops. You will interpret data to identify what limits a student's progress, then guide with intention and precision until they execute.
If you possess an elite credential and a history of elevating others' performance, we want to speak with you. Apply to help establish a campus environment where students arrive prepared, develop real competencies, and surpass challenging objectives.
What you will be doing
- Facilitate 1:1 and small-group coaching sessions that convert student objectives into reliable execution and quantifiable outcomes
- Interpret analytics and student objectives to identify obstacles and establish ambitious, personalized motivation strategies
- Facilitate structured life-skills workshops through credible narrative, reflection exercises, and practical application, then evaluate mastery
- Conduct daily opening sessions that establish culture, reinforce rigorous expectations, and prepare students before work begins
- Build trusted mentor relationships with students and families through consistent high standards, reliability, and thoughtful judgment
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver classroom instruction, lectures, or academic tutoring in a traditional capacity
- Develop curriculum, write lesson plans, or evaluate student assignments
- Supervise adults, oversee campus operations, or assume administrative leadership responsibilities
- Compromise standards to achieve short-term compliance or convenient outcomes
Key responsibilities
This role ensures that students at Alpha's most rigorous campuses maintain high motivation and accomplish sustained growth and life-skill mastery through elite, high-standards coaching.
Candidate requirements

- Experience in people-facing mentoring, coaching, or leadership that measurably raised others' performance
- Comfort operating in high-accountability environments with clear standards and follow-through
- Ability to lead engaging, high-rigor group sessions and coach individuals with strong judgment
- Willingness to work full-time (40 hours/week) in person at Alpha's Austin campus
- Legal right to work in the U.S.
Nice to have
- Multiple elite markers with clear evidence of raising standards and outcomes
- Experience using data and analytics to drive coaching plans and accountability
