Description
- Based on-site in Austin, TX (relocation assistance available)
- $150,000 annual salary, paid weekly. Full health benefits from day one.
The greatest support you can offer a teenager launching a business is the refusal to accept mediocrity. You understand that holding high standards isn't about applying pressure—it's about demonstrating your belief in what the student is capable of achieving. If this perspective resonates with you, continue reading.
You'll be working with high school students who are building genuine companies with $1M revenue potential. These aren't classroom exercises or mock simulations. You will dedicate 60-65% of your time to 1:1 coaching: pinpointing where each founder encounters obstacles, determining the most impactful next step, and ensuring accountability to a defined action plan. The remaining 35-40% will be divided between overseeing academic performance and facilitating workshops that equip students with practical, actionable skills—not just theory.
This role is not traditional teaching. You are accountable for holistic student outcomes: venture traction, academic performance, and personal development simultaneously. You will leverage dashboards, business metrics, and academic records to coach with data-driven precision rather than gut feeling. When a student's grades begin to slip, you step in proactively. When a venture loses momentum, you surface the actual issue, not the one that's easier to address.
You begin by understanding each student's business, their natural strengths, and their recurring challenges. Over time, you become the coach whose feedback they genuinely value—because you've operated in similar environments yourself. The outcome is witnessing a 16-year-old transform from someone with an idea into someone running a viable business, equipped with the discipline to sustain it and the academic record to preserve future opportunities.
If you've been seeking a position where your operational background directly influences the next wave of entrepreneurs, submit your application now. If you require a standardized curriculum, predictable lesson plans, or a setting where effort alone is rewarded, this isn't the right fit.
What you will be doing
- Providing 1:1 coaching to student founders on strategy, execution, and scaling—approximately two-thirds of your weekly time
- Analyzing student dashboards, venture updates, and academic metrics to assess progress and determine actionable next steps
- Tracking academic standing and stepping in proactively when attention or organizational skills begin to falter
- Designing and delivering workshops focused on applied learning outcomes
- Facilitating stand-ups, debriefs, and group sessions that reinforce accountability and goal ownership
What you will NOT be doing
- Teaching lectures or adhering to a rigid, predefined curriculum (you enable experiential learning, not traditional instruction)
- Offering generic mentorship or inspiration without concrete follow-up and action
- Handling student operations—calendar coordination, documentation, or admissions tasks
- Attending endless faculty meetings or dealing with institutional red tape (your focus remains on direct student impact)
Key responsibilities
Propel student founders toward ventures with $1M revenue potential while maintaining strong academic performance.

- At least 1 year of experience working with young people (students, junior professionals, or youth program participants) on initiatives, learning objectives, or ventures
