- On-site at an Alpha campus: Atlanta, GA
- Oklahoma City, OK

- Keller (Fort Worth), TX
- The Woodlands (Houston), TX
- $150,000/year W2 salary, paid weekly. Day-one health benefits.

Alpha students complete their academic learning in two hours daily through AI-powered, self-directed applications. There are no teachers. No traditional lectures. No classroom subject management. This structure allows you to focus on what genuinely shifts student outcomes: facilitating high-energy workshops covering public speaking, concentration, and feedback; using real-time data to motivate students toward complete goal achievement; and developing the Guides working with you.
A typical morning may begin with a one-on-one Guide coaching conversation, analyzing performance metrics to pinpoint cohort gaps. By midday you're facilitating a student workshop, executing a playbook exercise on feedback exchange. Afternoons transition to motivation work: engaging individual students, identifying their motivators, and applying Alpha's incentive framework to re-engage a reluctant 7th grader. You maintain direct oversight of your own cohort, keeping your skills aligned with what you coach others to build.
You've likely been the outlier in educational settings: overly analytical, excessively outcome-oriented, too ready to question conventional approaches to student development. Alpha may be the environment where you finally belong. You'll begin coaching Guides immediately, and as you produce measurable impact, your authority over campus program standards expands.
Uphold the standard. Transform the student. Apply now.
What You Will Be Doing
- Facilitating one-hour live workshops addressing life skills (public speaking, focus, feedback exchange) 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 mechanisms (school currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% student goal attainment
- Developing Guides on program consistency and standards maintenance, ensuring every coaching session generates concrete improvement steps
- Managing your own student cohort while simultaneously coaching other Guides
- Monitoring student satisfaction scores, goal completion rates, and Guide performance data weekly to identify declining performance before it escalates
- Teaching or tutoring students in academic content. Students progress through self-guided applications without direct adult instruction.
- Creating curriculum or developing original lesson plans. The playbook is established; success depends on execution fidelity, not innovation.
- Coaching Guides on instructional methods. Guides don't teach, so your coaching centers on energy, motivation, and accountability.
- Accepting 99% when the standard is 100%. Maintaining expectations demonstrates your belief in their capacity to reach the target.
- Serving as the campus emotional support figure. Students receive connection here, alongside honest feedback and genuine accountability.
Fulfill Alpha's three commitments to every student in your cohort: they love school, learn twice as fast as a traditional classroom, and develop real life skills.
