Description
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an in-person role based at our Austin, Texas campus.
Traditional schools focus on telling students what to think. This position is designed to show them how to execute.
Alpha is creating a new model for high school education—one where students don't passively absorb lectures or memorize facts. Instead, they create, launch, communicate, and evolve. They initiate projects, validate concepts, and acquire practical skills that many professionals never develop. Your responsibility is to ensure they follow through and excel.
You will engage directly with high school students as they launch businesses, manage projects, and cultivate the confidence, communication skills, and competence necessary for success beyond the classroom. You are not here to deliver theory. You are here to facilitate execution. You will establish rigorous standards, maintain accountability, and challenge students to generate work that meets real-world benchmarks.
This position suits individuals who have accomplished something significant outside academic settings—whether building a product, cultivating an audience, operating within a startup, or producing results in dynamic environments—and wish to leverage that background to develop emerging talent. If you seek a conventional teaching position, look elsewhere. If you aim to influence how driven teenagers think, operate, and perform, this is your opportunity.
If you've achieved tangible outcomes in your career and want to dedicate your time to advancing motivated teenagers toward their full capability, this is the right place. Apply now
