Education Program Manager, Alpha - $200,000​/year USD

The most effective leaders understand that success is not defined by individual accomplishments. It is measured by the achievements of those they develop and support.

If you have experience building exceptional teams, mentoring individuals to surpass performance targets, and operating in settings where excellence is non-negotiable, this opportunity allows you to leverage those capabilities to influence the next generation.

At Alpha, students do not spend their time in traditional lectures. They advance academically through adaptive technology while Guides provide coaching, accountability, motivation, and life skills development.

As a Lead Guide, you will assemble and develop the team that executes this model—mentoring Guides, cultivating leaders, and establishing an environment where students routinely surpass expectations.

This is not a role focused on instructional coaching, nor is it traditional classroom teaching. You will not review lesson plans or observe lectures, because none exist. Instead, your work centers on building a culture of excellence through Guide coaching, facilitating impactful life skills workshops, and inspiring students to pursue ambitious goals.

Performance will be assessed based on the quality of the student experience, your team's outcomes, and your capacity to uphold rigorous standards while motivating others to reach them.

Alpha is constructing the world's premier K-12 experience. This demands leaders who have demonstrated their ability to elevate the performance of others, make evidence-based decisions, and champion innovative approaches instead of defending legacy practices.

If this reflects your background, we encourage you to connect with us.
