Education Program Manager, gt.school - $200,000/year USD

• On-site in Miami or NYC (we provide relocation support)
• $200,000 annually, distributed weekly
  
  

You're not looking for a safe role in education. You want clear metrics, rigorous standards, and the mandate to uphold them. If being "liked" outweighs delivering outcomes, this role isn't for you.

GT.School serves gifted students in grades K–6 (with expansion planned to K–12) who use adaptive software to progress 5–10x faster than traditional classrooms, then spend afternoons developing emotional intelligence and essential life skills with Guides who coach rather than teach. Each student must achieve three outcomes: genuine enthusiasm for school, acceleration at 5–10x traditional pace, and mastery of competencies no curriculum alone can deliver. You'll support a new campus launch by coaching students directly and developing the Guides responsible for these results. This is a dual-role position: you'll own outcomes for your own student cohort while coaching 2–4 Guides and holding them to performance standards most educational institutions avoid.

Your day begins with data review. Coachbot analytics reveal which students are progressing and which require immediate attention. By mid-morning, you're facilitating a life skills workshop—public speaking, focus training, feedback mechanics—following the playbook but delivering the presence that commands student engagement. Post-lunch, you observe a Guide's session, then debrief with three concrete adjustments to refine their execution. On some days, you run motivation huddles that convert leaderboard rankings and school currency into momentum. You maintain direct responsibility for your cohort while building Guides capable of meeting your benchmark, and as they succeed, your influence scales from one cohort to campus-wide impact.

You'll witness reserved students presenting with confidence to adult audiences. You'll see a child who once "despised school" request extra time on campus. And you'll recognize that the standards you maintained made it possible. If you've built high-performing teams and are prepared to apply that expertise to gifted youth: submit your application now.

What You Will Be Doing

• Developing 2–4 Guides through direct observation of live and recorded sessions, individualized feedback, and documented performance goals — with underperformance managed within days, not months
• Delivering playbook-aligned life skills workshops (public speaking, focus disciplines, feedback exchange) with high energy, clear structure, and mastery verification via Test2Pass
• Analyzing Coachbot analytics and student performance data each day to flag students requiring support, then providing that intervention directly
• Facilitating motivation sessions designed to move 100% of students toward weekly objectives using developmentally appropriate systems like school currency and competitive leaderboards
• Coaching your own student cohort personally, demonstrating the standard you expect every Guide to replicate
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Creating lesson plans or building curriculum — students advance through adaptive platforms; your role is making the people around them exceptional
• Delivering traditional lectures — you're 80% facilitator, 20% content expert; if you prefer a whiteboard-centered role, look elsewhere
• Accepting "almost there" as sufficient — 100% mastery is non-negotiable, and compromising that standard isn't compassion
• Overseeing campus operations, financial planning, or parent communications — those fall under the Campus Lead's purview
