Entrepreneurship Coach, Alpha - $150,000/year USD

• On-site in San Francisco, CA; Santa Barbara, CA; or New York City, NY
• $150,000 annual salary paid weekly. Health benefits begin on day one
• Relocation assistance available
  
  

You have accomplished difficult things. You understand what it means to operate within rigorous standards. You recognize the gap between attempting and delivering. If you are ready to apply that discipline in a role that reshapes a young person's future, this position is designed for you.

Alpha School leverages AI-enabled 1:1 learning, allowing students to complete core academics in approximately two hours per day. The remaining time is dedicated to life skills, interest-driven projects, and genuine development. In our most demanding campus environments, students require more than oversight. They need a credible mentor capable of assessing dynamics, establishing expectations, and guiding them through resistance, distraction, and uncertainty.

This is not conventional classroom instruction. You will not deliver lectures, assign grades, or develop curricula. Your work is coaching. You will facilitate structured life-skills workshops. You will interpret data to identify what limits a student's progress, then apply focused pressure with empathy and precision until they execute.

If you bring a distinguished credential and a history of elevating others' outcomes, we are interested in speaking with you. Apply to contribute to a campus environment where students arrive prepared, develop concrete skills, and surpass challenging targets.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitate 1:1 and small-group coaching that translates student objectives into consistent action and quantifiable outcomes
• Leverage analytics and student aspirations to identify obstacles and design ambitious, personalized motivation strategies
• Conduct high-rigor life-skills workshops grounded in authentic storytelling, guided reflection, and practical application, followed by mastery evaluation
• Lead morning alignment sessions that establish culture, uphold elevated expectations, and prepare students before daily work begins
• Build trusted mentor relationships with students and their families through unwavering standards, reliability, and principled decision-making
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Deliver traditional classroom instruction, lectures, or academic tutoring
• Develop curriculum, craft lesson plans, or evaluate academic assignments
• Supervise staff, oversee campus operations, or assume administrative leadership responsibilities
• Compromise standards to achieve immediate compliance or superficial progress
