Career Coach, Alpha

Overview

On-site at an Alpha campus:
Atlanta, GA;
Oklahoma City, OK;
Tulsa, OK;
Austin, TX;
Keller (Fort Worth), TX;
The Woodlands (Houston), TX. $150,000/year W2 salary, paid weekly. Day-one health benefits. Relocation support available.

• Leading one-hour live workshops on life skills (public speaking, focus, giving and receiving feedback) for K-8 cohorts, following Alpha's playbook rather than improvising
• Running motivation sessions using student analytics and Alpha's incentive system (school currency, leaderboards) to drive 100% student goal completion
• Coaching Guides on program fidelity and standards enforcement, with every session producing tangible improvement actions
• Maintaining your own student cohort while developing other Guides
• Tracking student satisfaction scores, goal completion rates, and Guide performance metrics weekly to spot underperformance before it compounds

• Lecturing or tutoring students on academic subjects. Students learn through self-guided apps without an adult in the room.
• Designing curriculum or building lesson plans from scratch. The playbook exists; the bar is fidelity of delivery, not originality.
• Coaching Guides on teaching technique. Guides don’t teach, so you’re coaching energy, motivation, and accountability instead.
• Making exceptions when a student scores 99% instead of 100%. Holding the line is how you show them you believe they can get there.
• Being the "big ball of empathy" every school has. Kids get connection here, and they also get honest feedback and real consequences.

Deliver Alpha's three promises to every student in your cohort: they love school, learn twice as fast as a traditional classroom, and develop real life skills.
