Alpha is transforming the classroom experience. Our students don't passively absorb lectures—they race through adaptive software, achieve content mastery in half the usual time, and develop practical life competencies. Your role is to ensure our "3 Promises" are delivered to every learner in your cohort while coaching Guides to achieve the same standard.
You will combine exceptional coaching expertise with dynamic presentation skills, transforming workshops, metrics-focused team rallies, and precision feedback into powerful development experiences. If you have a track record of exceeding benchmarks, transforming struggling performers into top achievers, or maintaining uncompromising standards of excellence, we want you to help us build something exceptional.
What makes Alpha different?
- Market-adjusted compensation – elevated pay structure that reflects the cost of living in these metropolitan locations
- Robust benefits package – complete health benefits and substantial paid time off
- Support for qualified relocations – assistance available to exceptional candidates
- Development-focused environment – access to coaching, professional training, and defined advancement opportunities
What you will be doing
- Developing and coaching Guides to deliver Alpha's workshops with exceptional quality
- Building comprehensive Guide Playbooks that outline facilitation excellence, compelling learning experiences, and challenge resolution
- Delivering consistent, practical feedback to Guides that drives higher student engagement and outcomes
- Personally coaching a select group of students to demonstrate advanced mentoring and motivational techniques
What you will NOT be doing
- Creating curriculum materials – Guides support student learning via adaptive platforms; your role centers on developing them into outstanding motivators
- Accepting mediocrity – when our benchmark is 100% mastery, you'll uphold that standard without exception
- Running dull professional development – you'll train Guides through dynamic, interactive, high-impact sessions
Key responsibilities
Develop Guides and mentor students to ensure every learner in your cohort experiences genuine enthusiasm for school, achieves learning at double the traditional pace, and develops essential life competencies. Standards are non-negotiable.
