What are the responsibilities and job description for the Student Performance Strategist, Alpha - $150,000/year USD position at Crossover?
You recognize that the greatest kindness you can offer a student is holding them to a high standard without compromise. You've performed, created, or succeeded at a level few ever experience: competitive athletics at an elite tier, graduation with honors from a premier university, acceptance into a highly selective organization, or launching and growing your own enterprise. Now imagine channeling that drive into a classroom of K-12 learners who've never had access to someone with your credentials, someone determined to elevate them to heights they never believed possible. If maintaining elite expectations for students strikes you as too demanding, this isn't for you.
Alpha leverages AI-driven 1-on-1 instruction, enabling students to complete their core academic work in roughly two hours each day. The time saved opens up the schedule for life-skill development, project-based learning, and meaningful personal growth. At Alpha's most demanding campuses, students require more than oversight. They need a credible mentor whose personal accomplishments serve as proof: someone capable of assessing the environment, establishing expectations, and guiding them through setbacks, distractions, and doubt.
You won't be teaching. The AI platform delivers the academic instruction. Your responsibility is to inspire, coach, and apply the same rigorous standards to students that you've applied to yourself. Forty percent of your time goes to direct 1-on-1 and small-group coaching that identifies obstacles and defines stretch goals. Another forty percent involves facilitating structured life-skills workshops designed for competency, not engagement alone. The final twenty percent is spent leading morning sessions that create a culture intolerant of mediocrity.
Your trajectory here is vertical depth, not lateral management. You begin by mastering Alpha's methodology and earning student trust. In a matter of months, you become the adult they trust enough to push them beyond their perceived limits. The payoff isn't a title change. It's continuity: the same students, year over year, maturing with your guidance. It's seeing a student who avoided eye contact in the fall deliver a poised presentation to a room of adults by spring.
This position remains centered on students. They are the objective, not a stepping stone. If your motivation to leave your current role is mission-driven rather than resume-driven, submit your application now.
What You Will Be Doing
Drive exceptional student motivation, growth, and life-skill mastery at Alpha's highest-expectation campuses.

What You Will Be Doing
- Conducting 1-on-1 and small-group coaching sessions leveraging Coachbot analytics and student performance data to identify barriers, establish ambitious objectives, and enforce accountability for execution
- Facilitating structured life-skills workshops aimed at mastery by drawing on credible narratives from your own high-achievement background, then evaluating competency via Alpha's Test2Pass framework
- Establishing the campus culture each morning through targeted kickoff sessions that reinforce a high-performance mindset across the student body
- Monitoring student advancement in real time and modifying coaching approaches based on measurable data rather than intuition
- Cultivating trusted mentor relationships with students and their families by upholding high standards, demonstrating consistency, and maintaining documented motivation strategies
- Delivering lessons, creating curricula, or evaluating assignments — Alpha's AI-driven academic system manages instruction; your focus is motivation
- Presenting to a traditional classroom of 30 students (your work centers on intensive coaching with individuals and small groups, not large-scale delivery)
- Supervising other personnel or advancing through an administrative track (this role prioritizes direct student outcomes over organizational advancement)
- Attending faculty meetings or managing institutional red tape (your schedule remains dedicated to student interaction)
- Compromising standards to meet performance targets (if a student achieves 99%, your task is to uncover what prevented 100%)
Drive exceptional student motivation, growth, and life-skill mastery at Alpha's highest-expectation campuses.
Basic Requirements

- Willing to work in-person at an Alpha campus in Orange County, CA; Palo Alto, CA; San Francisco, CA; South Bay, CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Boston, MA; New York City, NY; or Kirkland (Seattle), WA (relocation support provided)

- Background in elite competitive athletics (varsity D1, national team, or professional level) with experience coaching or mentoring younger athletes
- Experience in high-accountability environments like management consulting, investment banking, or military leadership
- Track record of youth development through mentoring in non-academic settings (community organizations, after-school programs, sports camps)
- Comfort presenting to and building trust with high-expectation families paying premium private school tuition
