Performance Coach

$150,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($75 USD/hour)

• Facilitating structured one-hour workshops on core life competencies (public speaking, focus, constructive feedback) for elementary and middle school cohorts (K-8), adhering to Alpha's established playbook instead of creating original content
• Conducting motivation-focused sessions that leverage student performance data and Alpha's incentive architecture (school currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% goal attainment across your cohort
• Developing Guides through targeted coaching on program consistency and standards enforcement, ensuring every interaction yields concrete performance improvements
• Managing your own cohort of students while simultaneously building the capability of other Guides
• Monitoring weekly metrics including student satisfaction, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators to identify and address underperformance early

• Providing academic instruction or subject tutoring to students. Academic learning occurs through self-directed applications without direct adult instruction.
• Creating original curriculum or developing lesson plans independently. The playbook is established; your responsibility is faithful execution, not innovation.
• Coaching Guides on instructional methods. Since Guides do not teach traditional content, you will focus on coaching motivation, energy, and accountability systems.
• Lowering standards when a student achieves 99% rather than 100%. Maintaining high expectations demonstrates your confidence in their capacity to reach the full standard.
• Serving as the campus "empathy specialist." Students receive genuine connection alongside direct feedback and meaningful accountability.

Fulfill Alpha's three core commitments for every student in your cohort: they develop a genuine love of school, achieve learning velocity at twice the rate of traditional classrooms, and acquire meaningful life skills.
