What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Learning Consultant, Alpha - $200,000/year USD position at Crossover?
- On-site roles available in Greenwich, CT | Bethesda, MD | Chicago, IL | Piedmont, CA
- Annual salary of $200,000, distributed weekly. Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage begins day one
- Relocation assistance provided
Students at Alpha do not experience traditional lectures. They accelerate through adaptive applications, absorb material at double the speed of conventional classrooms, and simultaneously develop practical life competencies. Your responsibility is to ensure three commitments are fulfilled for every student in your cohort: genuine enthusiasm for school, learning velocity at 2x standard pace, and acquisition of skills beyond traditional academics. You will also mentor the Guides responsible for delivering these same outcomes throughout your campus.
Each morning begins with data analysis. You review analytics to identify students progressing on schedule and those requiring additional support. By mid-morning, you facilitate live workshops, guiding groups of K-8 students through exercises in public speaking or concentration using Alpha's structured methodology. Post-lunch, you observe a Guide conducting their session, then provide them with three concrete actions to refine their execution. On certain days, you serve as the motivational catalyst during team huddles, transforming leaderboard rankings into momentum. You maintain direct involvement with your own student cohort while simultaneously developing Guides capable of meeting your performance standard—as they improve, your influence expands from a single cohort to an entire campus.
You will witness reserved children presenting with confidence to adults. You will observe a student who previously "despised school" requesting to remain after hours. And you will understand that the standard you maintained is precisely what enabled their transformation—because upholding expectations demonstrates your belief in someone's capacity to exceed them.
If you have exceeded benchmarks, transformed struggling performers into high achievers, and you are prepared to do this for children: submit your application now.
What You Will Be Doing
- Facilitating one-hour live workshops with K-8 students focused on life competencies including public speaking, concentration, and feedback exchange, adhering to Alpha's structured playbook
- Developing Guides through direct observation, precise feedback, and practical training to ensure they execute workshops with equivalent energy and accuracy
- Conducting daily motivational sessions designed to propel 100% of students toward weekly learning objectives using developmentally appropriate incentives such as campus currency and competitive leaderboards
- Analyzing Coachbot data and individual student profiles to determine intervention needs, then executing personal interventions
- Directly mentoring a small cohort of students, demonstrating the coaching and motivational techniques you require from all Guides
- Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum content. Students engage with adaptive applications; your focus is elevating the people who support them.
- Delivering traditional classroom lectures. Your role is 80% performance and engagement, 20% content expertise; if you prefer working at a whiteboard, this position is not suitable.
- Accepting work that is "close enough." The standard is 100% mastery, and reducing that standard does not constitute support.
- Working from an office handling administrative tasks. The majority of your time involves direct interaction with students and Guides.
Execute Alpha's 3 Promises: every student develops genuine love for school, achieves learning velocity at 2x standard pace, and acquires essential life skills—across both your direct cohort and all cohorts led by your Guides.
