Description
You've achieved difficult goals. You've operated within rigorous standards. You understand the gap between effort and results. If you're ready to apply that discipline in a role that reshapes a student's future, this position is designed for you.
Alpha School leverages AI-driven 1:1 instruction, enabling students to complete core academics in roughly two hours daily. The remaining time is dedicated to life skills, self-directed projects, and meaningful development. At our most demanding campuses, students require more than oversight—they need a credible mentor capable of assessing context, establishing expectations, and guiding them past obstacles, distractions, and uncertainty.
This is not conventional teaching. You will not deliver lectures, assign grades, or develop coursework. Your focus will be coaching. You will facilitate structured life-skills training. You will interpret data to identify what limits a student's progress, then guide them with intention and precision until they execute.
If you carry an elite credential and a history of elevating others' performance, we want to connect. Apply to shape a campus environment where students arrive prepared, develop tangible capabilities, and surpass challenging targets.
What you will be doing
- Conduct 1:1 and small-group coaching that converts student objectives into steady action and quantifiable advancement
- Leverage analytics and student ambitions to identify obstacles and design individualized, high-expectation motivation strategies
- Facilitate demanding life-skills workshops grounded in authentic narrative, structured reflection, and practical application, followed by competency evaluation
- Oversee daily opening sessions that establish culture, communicate high standards, and prepare students for focused work
- Build credible mentor relationships with students and families rooted in elevated expectations, reliability, and disciplined judgment
What you will NOT be doing
- Deliver classroom instruction, present lectures, or provide tutoring in a conventional teaching capacity
- Develop curricula, draft lesson plans, or evaluate student assignments
- Supervise staff, direct campus operations, or assume broader administrative responsibilities
- Compromise standards for immediate compliance or superficial results
Key responsibilities
This position ensures that students at Alpha's most rigorous campuses remain consistently motivated and experience continuous growth and life-skill development through elite, standards-driven coaching.
Candidate requirements
- Bachelor's degree in any field
- At least one clear elite marker (athletics, academics, career achievement, or elite coaching)
- Experience in people-facing mentoring, coaching, or leadership that measurably raised others' performance
- Comfort operating in high-accountability environments with clear standards and follow-through
- Ability to lead engaging, high-rigor group sessions and coach individuals with strong judgment
- Willingness to work full-time (40 hours/week) in person at Alpha's Austin campus
- Legal right to work in the U.S.
Nice to have
- Multiple elite markers with clear evidence of raising standards and outcomes
- Experience using data and analytics to drive coaching plans and accountability
- Background in selective firms, competitive startups, or elite athletics programs with intense performance expectations
