Program Director, Alpha - $150,000/year USD

• On-site position in Atlanta, GA
• $150,000 annual compensation, distributed weekly. Health benefits begin immediately
  
  

Alpha is committed to transforming education – and we need a visionary leader who can unlock extraordinary possibilities for our students. If you excel at developing elite teams and possess genuine dedication to innovative youth development, this opportunity offers a platform for meaningful change.

This position provides both independence and organizational backing to advance our science-based learning methodology. Grounded in educational research and enhanced by adaptive technology, we are challenging conventional limits in education. Your specialized knowledge is essential to realize this vision.

You will serve as the driving force, mentor, and architect behind our Guides – the frontline learning facilitators who inspire rather than simply instruct. Your leadership will determine how Alpha Guides engage with students, from creating operational frameworks and assessment systems to demonstrating exemplary facilitation techniques.

Picture merging your exceptional coaching credentials with direct involvement in youth development. Picture guiding a team that enables our students to excel beyond basic achievement – discovering latent abilities and essential life competencies in the process. If you have exceeded benchmarks, revitalized struggling initiatives, or accomplished what others deemed unattainable, you belong here.

Why Alpha Stands Apart

• Competitive compensation - we maintain that working in education should not require financial sacrifice
• Comprehensive benefits and leave - we prioritize our team through robust benefits coverage and paid time away
• Development-focused environment - we exemplify the continuous improvement we require from students, providing coaching, professional development, and leadership pathways
• Relocation support provided for exceptional candidates
  
  

If you understand what building an outstanding team demands, join Alpha in our mission to revolutionize education.

What You Will Be Doing

• Developing and coaching a team of Guides to execute the Alpha learning system with exceptional precision
• Building Guide Playbooks that document facilitation best practices, design of engaging learning experiences, and challenge resolution
• Delivering consistent, practical feedback to Guides that elevates student participation and outcomes
• Personally coaching a small student group, demonstrating advanced mentoring and motivational techniques
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Designing lesson plans – your Guides support student learning through adaptive applications; your priority is developing their facilitation expertise
• Compromising expectations – when our success threshold is 100%, maintaining that standard is your responsibility
• Conducting dull training sessions – you'll develop Guides through dynamic, energetic, experiential learning
