Coaching Manager, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

Locations and Compensation In-person positions available in: Beverly Hills, CA; Piedmont, CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Miami, FL; Boston, MA; Raleigh, NC; New York City, NY; Seattle, WA (relocation assistance available) $200,000 annually, distributed weekly; Health, dental, and vision coverage begins day one The most valuable support you can offer a student who achieves 99% is to refuse calling it 100%. Not from indifference — but from genuine belief they can reach it, and from understanding that lowering standards constitutes true failure. If that reasoning resonates, continue reading. If it feels overly strict, this position will likely frustrate you. Students at Alpha don't passively attend lectures. They advance through adaptive applications at double the speed of conventional classrooms while developing practical life competencies simultaneously. Your responsibility is ensuring three commitments are delivered to every student in your cohort: genuine enthusiasm for school, learning velocity increased by 2x, and acquisition of capabilities no traditional curriculum provides. You simultaneously develop the Guides who execute these same commitments throughout your campus. Data informs every choice and face‑to‑face interaction defines every day. Your time divides between your personal student cohort and the Guides under your leadership — with identical expectations for both: quantifiable advancement, without exception. When a Guide's session underperforms, you don't generate documentation; you observe directly, conduct immediate debrief, and implement corrections that same afternoon. You’ll witness reserved children presenting with confidence to adults. You’ll observe a student who previously "despised school" requesting to remain after hours. And you’ll recognize that the standard you maintained is precisely what enabled their growth, because maintaining high expectations demonstrates your belief in their capacity to meet them. You may be establishing a completely new campus from inception and creating the foundational culture that will characterize the school. As your campus develops, your emphasis transitions from operational startup mode to coaching leadership, cultivating the team that expands Alpha's approach across your geographic area. What You Will Be Doing Facilitating one‑hour live sessions focused on life skills and social‑emotional learning (SEL) with students in grades K‑8 covering subjects such as public speaking and concentration, utilizing Alpha's established playbook Conducting daily motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of students reach their weekly application goals through age‑appropriate motivators including school currency and performance leaderboards Developing Guides via direct observation, precise feedback, and practical training so they execute sessions with equivalent energy and accuracy Analyzing Coachbot data and student profiles to determine which students require intervention, then providing that intervention directly Personally mentoring your designated student cohort, demonstrating the coaching and motivational techniques you expect all Guides to employ What You Won’t Be Doing Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum. Students progress through adaptive apps; your focus is making the people supporting them exceptional. Delivering traditional lectures before a classroom. You operate as 80% facilitator, 20% content expert; if you prefer standing at a whiteboard, this role isn't suitable. Compromising standards due to pressure from parents or administration. When a student achieves 99%, the response is "not yet" — and you'll receive full institutional support to maintain that threshold. Working from an office processing administrative documents. The majority of your time involves direct engagement with students and Guides. Waiting extended periods for performance evaluation. Data appears live in Coachbot and adjustments occur immediately.
