Youth Education Manager, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

Exceptional leaders understand that success is not defined by personal accomplishments—it is defined by the achievements of those they lead. If you have a track record of developing high-performing teams, elevating individual performance beyond expectations, and operating in cultures where excellence is non-negotiable, this role provides an opportunity to channel those capabilities toward shaping future generations. At Alpha, students do not sit through traditional lectures. They advance academically through adaptive technology while Guides concentrate on coaching, accountability, motivation, and life skills development. As a Lead Guide, your mission is to build and strengthen the team that powers this model—coaching Guides, cultivating leaders, and fostering an environment where students routinely surpass expectations. This is neither an instructional coaching position nor a traditional teaching role. You will not review lesson plans or observe lectures, because those elements do not exist in our model. Instead, your focus will be on establishing a culture of excellence through Guide coaching, facilitating dynamic life skills workshops, and inspiring students to pursue and achieve ambitious objectives. Your effectiveness will be evaluated by the caliber of student experiences, the performance of your team, and your capacity to uphold rigorous standards while motivating others to meet them. Alpha is constructing the world's premier K-12 educational experience. This demands leaders who have already demonstrated an ability to elevate others' performance, make decisions grounded in objective data, and champion innovative approaches over legacy practices. If that reflects your experience, we encourage you to connect with us. This position is currently available at select Alpha campuses: Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Miami, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Boston, MA; Raleigh, NC; New York City, NY; Orange County, CA; and Santa Barbara, CA. If you are based in one of these markets—or open to relocation—we welcome your application. Outstanding candidates from other locations are also invited to apply. As Alpha's footprint expands, we routinely align exceptional leaders with opportunities across our growing campus network. What You Will Be Doing Coaching Guides to reliably deliver outstanding student experiences while upholding Alpha's rigorous standards. Facilitating dynamic life skills workshops that build communication, leadership, focus, and other practical competencies for K-12 students. Inspiring students to pursue ambitious learning objectives and maximize progress within their self-directed academic programs. Leveraging data, direct observation, and coaching dialogues to enhance Guide performance and student results. Supporting the launch and establishment of new Alpha campuses by fostering a culture rooted in excellence, accountability, and continuous growth. What You Won't Be Doing Delivering traditional academic instruction or subject-specific lectures. Drafting lesson plans or designing curricular content. Compromising standards to create a false sense of success rather than guiding students toward genuine mastery. Leading a team from a distance without actively coaching students and Guides on the ground. Defending outdated methods simply because "that's the way it's always been done."
