Senior Associate $100,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
- In-person at Alpha campuses: Denver, CO | Atlanta, GA | Nashville, TN | Fort Worth, TX | Houston, TX | Park City, UT
- $100,000 annual salary, paid weekly. Health, dental, and vision benefits from day one
- Relocation support provided for those willing to move
The kindest thing you can do for a student who reaches 99% of their target is to insist it's not finished. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this position won't be the right fit. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a student's potential—continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full day's worth of academics in roughly two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No textbooks. Your responsibility is what technology cannot replicate: guiding students through essential life skills such as public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You'll facilitate interactive workshops, drive students to exceed their learning targets, and develop relationships that transform a reserved 4th grader into someone who presents with confidence before a roomful of adults.
This position grows over time. During your first year, you'll oversee a small student cohort and become fluent in Alpha's methodology: life skill workshops, motivation sessions, mastery-based evaluations. Once you demonstrate the ability to hold every student accountable to 100% goal completion while maintaining satisfaction scores above 90%, advancement to Lead Guide becomes possible—a role where you mentor a team while remaining directly engaged with students. The most effective people in this position don't merely transform individual trajectories; they influence how an entire campus functions.
Traditional schools don't offer this opportunity. If you've been coaching, counseling, or mentoring young people and want to move beyond instructional teaching to focus on genuine growth, this is the transition you've been seeking.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for K-12 students covering subjects such as public speaking, concentration, time management, and constructive feedback exchange (interactive and project-based, never lecture-format)
- Conducting daily motivation sessions where you engage with individual students, assess their progress in adaptive learning applications (leveraging Coachbot analytics), and challenge them to achieve 100% of their weekly targets
- Organizing and administering mastery-based evaluations (Test2Pass) to verify students have genuinely mastered each skill, not merely attended sessions
- Cultivating authentic relationships with each student so they develop the trust necessary to accept guidance through resistance, distraction, and uncertainty
- Monitoring student advancement against satisfaction metrics and goal achievement data, modifying your methods when outcomes don't meet expectations
What you will NOT be doing
- Standing at the front of a classroom delivering traditional academic instruction (students learn core subjects via self-directed adaptive apps, not through your teaching)
- Creating lesson plans from the ground up (Alpha supplies a life skills curriculum and implementation guides; your role is to animate them with enthusiasm and narrative)
- Handling parent communications or administrative school functions (Campus Leads manage those areas; you remain focused on students)
- Evaluating homework or overseeing standardized test preparation (neither exists in this environment)
- Operating independently (you're integrated into a campus team with Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops enthusiasm for school, acquires critical life skills, and achieves 100% of their academic targets through adaptive learning software.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- 3+ years of direct experience working with K-8 students (teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership)
- Commitment to working in-person at an Alpha campus located in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Nashville, TN; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City, UT (relocation support available)
- Availability to participate in a paid training program at Alpha's Austin, TX campus
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth development: athletic coaching, camp leadership, or youth programming where you held direct accountability for motivating children to reach defined objectives
- History of significant personal accomplishment (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions requiring consistent excellence)
- Innate storytelling capability: you can command the attention of a room full of 12-year-olds for an hour without elevating your voice
- Proven ability to motivate unengaged or reluctant students and convert them into enthusiastic participants
