Career Coach $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
- On-site at Alpha campuses located in Denver, CO | Atlanta, GA | Nashville, TN | Fort Worth, TX | Houston, TX | Park City, UT
- $100,000 annual salary with weekly pay. Health, dental, and vision coverage begins immediately
- Considering relocation? We provide support to make it happen
The most meaningful way to support a student who achieved 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this position isn't the right fit. If it energizes you—because you understand that maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's potential—continue reading.
Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete a full day's worth of academics in approximately two hours using adaptive software. No traditional lectures. No physical textbooks. Your role focuses on what technology cannot replicate: guiding students through essential life skills including public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. You'll facilitate interactive workshops, drive students toward achieving their learning targets, and develop relationships that transform a reserved 4th grader into someone who presents with confidence before adult audiences.
This position grows over time. During your first year, you'll manage a focused group of students while mastering Alpha's methodology: life skill workshops, motivational coaching, and mastery-based evaluation. Once you demonstrate the ability to hold every student accountable to 100% goal completion while maintaining satisfaction ratings above 90%, opportunities open for advancement to Lead Guide, where you'll mentor a team while remaining engaged with students directly. High performers in this role don't simply impact individual students; they influence how an entire campus functions.
Traditional schools don't offer this opportunity. If you've been working with kids through coaching, counseling, or mentoring and want to move beyond instructional teaching to genuinely develop their potential, this is that opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life skill workshops for K-12 students covering topics such as public speaking, focus, time management, and constructive feedback exchange (interactive and project-driven, never lecture-based)
- Conducting daily motivation sessions where you engage with individual students, assess their progress through adaptive learning applications (utilizing Coachbot analytics), and challenge them to achieve 100% of their weekly targets
- Organizing and delivering mastery-based assessments (Test2Pass) to verify students have genuinely mastered each skill, not merely participated
- Cultivating authentic relationships with every student so they trust you to coach them through resistance, distraction, and moments of self-doubt
- Monitoring student performance against satisfaction metrics and goal achievement data, modifying your methods when outcomes don't meet standards
What you will NOT be doing
- Standing in front of a classroom delivering lectures or providing traditional academic instruction (students master core subjects through independent adaptive applications, not through you)
- Creating lesson plans from the ground up (Alpha supplies a life skills curriculum and implementation guides; your responsibility is to execute them with enthusiasm and narrative skill)
- Handling parent communications or administrative school functions (Campus Leads manage those areas; you remain concentrated on your students)
- Evaluating homework assignments or overseeing standardized test preparation (neither exist in this environment)
- Operating independently (you're embedded in a campus team alongside Lead Guides, Campus Leads, and colleagues who exchange feedback and maintain mutual accountability)
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your cohort develops a love for school, achieves mastery of critical life skills, and reaches 100% of their academic targets through adaptive learning technology.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- 3+ years of experience working directly with K-8 students (teaching, coaching, counseling, or youth program leadership)
- Willingness to work in-person at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Nashville, TN; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Park City, UT (relocation support provided)
- Ability to attend a paid training program at Alpha's Austin, TX campus
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in youth development: athletic coaching, camp leadership, or youth programming where you held direct responsibility for motivating children to achieve specific targets
- Demonstrated history of personal high achievement (academic distinctions, competitive athletics, or leadership positions requiring sustained excellence)
- Innate storytelling capacity: you can maintain the attention of a room filled with 12-year-olds for an hour without elevating your voice
- Proven experience motivating disengaged or reluctant students and converting them into active contributors
