Job Description

• On-site at an Alpha campus: Denver, CO
• Atlanta, GA
• Oklahoma City, OK
• Tulsa, OK
• Keller (Fort Worth), TX
• The Woodlands (Houston), TX
• Park City (Salt Lake City), UT
• Toronto, Canada
• $150,000/year W2 salary, paid weekly. Day-one health benefits.
• Relocation support available

The most supportive action you can take with a student who scored 99% is to tell them it isn't a passing grade. If that idea makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If it resonates, continue reading.

At Alpha, students complete their academic work in two hours daily using self-guided AI-powered applications. No traditional teachers. No lectures. No classroom content management. This model allows you to focus on what genuinely shifts student outcomes: facilitating high-energy workshops on public speaking, focus, and feedback; driving students toward complete goal achievement through real-time analytics; and coaching the Guides on your team.

A typical morning may begin with a one-on-one Guide coaching session, analyzing performance data and pinpointing where a cohort is underperforming. By midday you're facilitating a live student workshop, executing a playbook exercise on feedback exchange. Afternoons transition to motivation work: engaging individual students, identifying their intrinsic drivers, and applying Alpha's incentive framework to re-engage a reluctant 7th grader. You maintain your own cohort throughout, ensuring you remain proficient in the same competencies you're developing in others.

You've likely been the outlier in education: too metrics-oriented, too outcome-focused, too ready to question conventional approaches with students. Alpha may be the first environment that truly aligns. You'll begin coaching other Guides immediately, and as you produce scaled results, your impact on campus-wide program quality expands.

Uphold the standard. Transform the student. Apply now.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour live workshops on life skills (public speaking, focus, giving and receiving feedback) for K-8 (elementary and middle school) cohorts, executing Alpha's playbook rather than creating original content
• Conducting motivation sessions leveraging student analytics and Alpha's incentive system (school currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% student goal completion
• Coaching Guides on program fidelity and standards enforcement, ensuring every session results in concrete improvement actions
• Managing your own student cohort while simultaneously developing other Guides
• Monitoring student satisfaction scores, goal completion rates, and Guide performance metrics weekly to identify underperformance before it escalates

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Lecturing or tutoring students on academic subjects. Students learn through self-guided apps without adult supervision in the room.
• Creating curriculum or developing lesson plans from scratch. The playbook is established; the expectation is faithful execution, not creative innovation.
• Coaching Guides on instructional technique. Guides don't teach, so your coaching focuses on energy, motivation, and accountability.
• Making exceptions when a student achieves 99% rather than 100%. Maintaining the standard demonstrates your belief in their capacity to reach it.
• Serving as the "big ball of empathy" present in every school. Students receive connection here, alongside honest feedback and real consequences.

Leadership Coach Key Responsibilities

Deliver Alpha's three promises to every student in your cohort: they love school, learn twice as fast as a traditional classroom, and develop real life skills.

Basic Requirements

• Willing to work on-campus in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Keller (Fort Worth), TX; The Woodlands (Houston), TX; Park City (Salt Lake City), UT; or Toronto, Canada (relocation support provided)

• 5+ years of experience in education, learning and development, coaching, youth leadership, or a comparable field
• Track record of leading a team of 5 or more adults, including hiring and making performance-based termination decisions
• Direct experience working with kids aged 5-14 in an educational or developmental setting
• Built, launched, or significantly grew a program, team, business, school, or initiative from the ground up
• Proven use of data and metrics to set weekly goals and drive decisions, not just report results
• Legally authorized to work in the United States or Canada

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Master's degree in Education, Psychology, Organizational Leadership, or a related field
• Coached athletics, led wilderness or experiential programs, directed camps, or ran youth ministry at a scale that required running cohorts and measuring outcomes
• Left classroom teaching to build or run programs from a different seat: EdTech, tutoring businesses, youth nonprofits, or school intervention teams
• Early-career track record of high personal performance — academic, athletic, or professional — before moving into leadership
• Belief that the current education system is broken and personal investment in rebuilding it
