Consultant, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

• In-person at Alpha campuses in Denver, CO | Atlanta, GA | Nashville, TN | Fort Worth, TX | Houston, TX | Park City, UT
• $100,000 salary, paid weekly. Day-one health, dental, and vision benefits
• Ready to move? Relocation support included
  
  

The most impactful support you can offer a student who reached 99% of their goal is to insist it's not finished. If that expectation makes you uneasy, this position won't be a fit. If it energizes you because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's ability to meet them, continue reading.

Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full day's worth of academics in roughly two hours using adaptive software. No lectures. No textbooks. Your responsibility is what technology cannot replicate: guiding students through life skills such as public speaking, focus, and how to give and receive feedback. You'll facilitate hands-on workshops, inspire students to exceed their learning objectives, and develop relationships that transform a hesitant 4th grader into someone who presents with confidence before a room of adults.

This position grows over time. During your first year, you'll manage a small student cohort and internalize Alpha's methodology: life skill workshops, motivation sessions, mastery-based assessments. Once you demonstrate the ability to hold every student accountable to 100% of their goals while maintaining satisfaction scores above 90%, you become eligible for Lead Guide, where you'll mentor a team while remaining directly engaged with students. The highest performers in this role don't merely transform individual lives; they influence how an entire campus functions.

You won't encounter this opportunity at a conventional school. If you've been coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and have wanted to eliminate instructional teaching and truly focus on their development, this is your opportunity.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for K-12 students covering topics such as public speaking, focus, time management, and feedback skills (hands-on and project-based, never lecture-style)
• Conducting daily motivation sessions where you engage with individual students, assess their progress in adaptive learning apps (using Coachbot analytics), and challenge them to reach 100% of their weekly goals
• Preparing and delivering mastery-based assessments (Test2Pass) to verify students have genuinely mastered each skill, not merely participated
• Cultivating authentic relationships with each student so they trust you enough to receive coaching through resistance, distraction, and self-doubt
• Monitoring student progress against satisfaction scores and goal completion metrics, modifying your methods when outcomes don't meet expectations
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Lecturing before a classroom or providing traditional academic instruction (students master core subjects through self-guided adaptive apps, not from you)
• Creating lesson plans from the ground up (Alpha supplies a life skills curriculum and playbooks; your role is to animate them with energy and storytelling)
• Handling parent relationships or school administration (Campus Leads own those duties; you remain focused on your students)
• Grading homework or overseeing standardized test preparation (none of that exists here)
• Operating independently (you're part of a campus team with Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
  
  

Consultant Key Responsibilities

Ensure every student in your cohort loves school, masters essential life skills, and hits 100% of their academic goals through adaptive learning software.

Basic Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in any field
• 3 years of experience working directly with K-8 students (teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership)
• Willingness to work in-person at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Nashville, TN; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City, UT (relocation support provided)
• Ability to attend a paid training program at Alpha's Austin, TX campus
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
  
  

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Experience in youth development: athletic coaching, camp leadership, or youth program work where you held direct responsibility for motivating kids to achieve specific goals
• History of high personal achievement (academic honors, competitive athletics, or leadership roles that demanded sustained excellence)
• Natural storytelling ability: you can maintain the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without raising your voice
• Experience motivating disengaged or resistant students and converting them into active participants
