Associate, Alpha

$100,000 annual W2 salary paid weekly; full health, dental, and vision coverage starting day one.

On‑campus role at an Alpha K‑8 school in one of the following locations:
Denver, CO;
Oklahoma City, OK;
Tulsa, OK;
Nashville, TN;
Austin, TX;
Brownsville, TX;
Fort Worth, TX;
Houston, TX (Central, South, or The Woodlands);
Park City, UT (greater Salt Lake City); or Toronto, Canada (relocation assistance available).

This is not a teaching position. This is motivation work.

The most meaningful thing you can do for a student who reaches 99% of their goal is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this role is not for you. If it energizes you—because holding the standard is how you demonstrate belief in a student’s ability to meet it—read on.

At Alpha, academic learning happens through AI‑powered applications. No classroom lectures. No traditional textbooks. Half of your day is spent facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops covering public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. The other half is dedicated to one‑on‑one and small‑group sessions where you review student progress via Coachbot analytics and drive each individual toward 100% completion of their weekly app targets.

Workshops provide a foundation, but the strongest performers in this role customize them and build new content when needed.

A successful quarter means every student in your cohort completes their weekly app goals, passes the Test2

Pass for every life‑skills workshop, and 90% or more report that they love you. Falling short on any one of these is falling short of the role. In your first year, you’ll master the operational playbook; once you prove you can maintain the standard, you become eligible for Lead Guide, where you mentor newer hires while continuing to work directly with students.

If you prefer traditional classroom teaching, expect a ready‑made curriculum, or see warmth and rigor as incompatible, this is not the right fit. If you’ve worked as a sports coach, camp leader, tutor who wouldn’t let a student give up, or a performer capable of commanding a room of eight‑year‑olds, the final interview stage is a full day on campus coaching actual Alpha students.

• Facilitating one‑hour life‑skills workshops for K‑8 groups on subjects including public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational skills, customizing the existing playbook and creating new sessions when you identify a need.
• Conducting daily one‑on‑one and small‑group coaching sessions that drive every student to 100% of their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot data, Alpha’s motivational tools (campus currency, leaderboards), and individual student relationships to overcome resistance.
• Delivering the Test2
  
  Pass (Alpha’s mastery‑based evaluation) for each life skill, then coaching students who fall short until they achieve mastery.
• Adjusting your approach across a broad developmental spectrum, from kindergarteners who thrive on energy and physical activity to eighth graders who respond to direct conversation and personal accountability.
• Serving as the adult who upholds expectations and the students trust and confide in; warmth creates permission to push, and pushing demonstrates your confidence in their capacity.

• Delivering whiteboard lectures; academic content is delivered through the apps, not by you.
• Building curriculum from the ground up; you activate an established playbook with energy and narrative skill.
• Passively monitoring students on computers; motivation in this environment is active, individualized, and persistent.
• Reducing a weekly target to help a student meet it; when a student falls behind, the solution is supporting the student, not adjusting the goal.
• Evaluating homework, running test prep, or handling parent outreach;
  Campus Leads manage family communication, and the other tasks don’t exist in this model.

Guarantee that every student in your K‑8 cohort achieves their weekly learning targets, demonstrates mastery of each life skill, and finishes the year…
