At Alpha, we are transforming the student experience. Our learners do not passively absorb lectures—they advance rapidly through adaptive technology, achieve mastery at twice the typical pace, and develop essential life competencies. Your role is to ensure our "3 Promises" are delivered to every student in your cohort and to develop our Guides so they can consistently do the same.

You will combine exceptional coaching expertise with dynamic facilitation presence, converting workshops, data-informed motivational sessions, and precise feedback into powerful learning experiences. If you have exceeded benchmarks, transformed struggling performers into top achievers, or consistently reject mediocrity, we invite you to build excellence alongside us.

Why join Alpha?

• Premium compensation for premium locations – elevated pay structure aligned with the cost of living in these metropolitan regions
• Comprehensive benefits & time off – robust health coverage and ample PTO
• Relocation support – provided for exceptionally qualified candidates
• Growth-oriented environment – access to coaching, professional development, and defined routes to expanded influence
  
  

What You Will Be Doing

• Developing and training Guides to deliver Alpha's workshops with world-class execution
• Authoring Guide Playbooks that outline best practices for facilitation, designing high-impact learning activities, and overcoming obstacles
• Delivering consistent, actionable feedback to Guides to enhance student engagement and outcomes
• Directly coaching a small student cohort, demonstrating expert mentorship and motivational techniques
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Creating lesson plans – your Guides support students using adaptive apps; you focus on training them to become exceptional motivators
• Compromising expectations – if our mastery standard is 100%, your responsibility is to uphold that benchmark
• Running dull training sessions – you will engage Guides through dynamic, high-energy, experiential development
