Learning Center Director, Alpha

Alpha is seeking a Learning Center Director to lead a K‑3 cohort on campus and coach the Guides who mentor students. The role is on‑site at an Alpha campus in New York City, NY;
Miami, FL; or San Francisco, CA, with relocation assistance available. Salary is $200,000 per year, and the position is full‑time (40 hours per week).

• Coaching both Guides and students through performance metrics, classroom observation, and targeted feedback, then maintaining accountability to quantifiable objectives
• Leading hour‑long live workshops for K‑3 students covering life competencies including public speaking, focus, teamwork, resilience, accountability, and feedback exchange
• Conducting individual and small‑group motivation sessions linking each child's aspirations and interests to tangible academic advancement
• Developing and iterating on playbooks that convert your most effective practices into replicable systems other Guides can implement reliably
• Training Guides on these playbooks and demonstrating facilitation excellence to maintain standards as the team expands

• Providing academic instruction or traditional lecturing; adaptive applications handle content delivery while you focus on coaching individuals
• Reducing expectations in response to student challenges
• Managing remotely as instructional coaches and principals typically do; you remain directly embedded with your cohort each day
• Managing comprehensive campus budget, operations, and parent relations; a Campus Lead handles those areas so you concentrate on student and Guide results
• Advocating for traditional pedagogical methods or adhering to standard K‑12 curricula

Fulfill Alpha's three core commitments to every K‑3 student: they love school, learn twice as fast, and build exceptional life skills and independence.

• Willing to work in person at an Alpha campus in New York City, NY;
  Miami, FL; or San Francisco, CA; relocation support is provided
• Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, Organizational Leadership, Child Development, or a related field
• At least 5 years working with elementary‑aged children (roughly ages 5 to
  9)
• Experience leading a team of 5 or more people, including authority to hire and to remove people based on performance outcomes
• Experience building, launching, or significantly growing a program, team, school, or initiative from the ground up, not inheriting an existing one
• Comfortable working in a school that rejects traditional teaching methods
• Legally authorized to work in the United States

• Master's degree in a related field
• Track record using metrics, dashboards, or analytics to diagnose problems and drive measurable improvement
• Experience coaching or managing other adults toward measurable outcomes, not just doing the work yourself
• Background in youth development, camp leadership, competitive coaching, tutoring, or enrichment where motivation was central
• Comfort and skill facilitating or public speaking in front of rooms full of young children

Full‑time role, $200,000 annual salary, relocation assistance, and on‑site work at selected campuses. The position includes access to Alpha's AI‑powered learning framework and opportunities to shape educational practices.
