Head Coach, Alpha - $150,000/year USD

On-site at an Alpha campus: Atlanta, GA; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Austin, TX; Keller (Fort Worth), TX; The Woodlands (Houston), TX; Park City (Salt Lake City), UT; Toronto, Canada. Salary: $150,000/year W2, paid weekly. Day‑one health benefits. Relocation support available. The most valuable thing you can do for a student who scored 99% is inform them they have not met the standard. If that statement causes discomfort, this role is not for you. If it resonates, continue reading. Alpha students complete their academic learning in two hours daily via self‑directed AI‑powered applications. No instructors. No traditional lessons. No classroom content management. This structure allows you to focus on work that genuinely shifts student outcomes: facilitating high‑impact workshops on public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback; driving students toward complete goal achievement using live analytics; and developing the Guides who support your work. A typical morning may begin with a one‑on‑one Guide coaching session, analyzing performance metrics and pinpointing cohort gaps. By midday you facilitate a live student workshop, executing a structured activity on feedback exchange. Afternoons transition to motivation work: engaging individual students, identifying their intrinsic drivers, and applying Alpha’s incentive framework to re‑engage a reluctant 7th grader. You maintain direct responsibility for your own cohort, ensuring you remain proficient in the competencies you coach. You have likely been the outlier in educational environments: excessively analytical, overly outcome‑oriented, and inclined to question conventional approaches with students. Alpha may be your first genuine professional fit. What You Will Be Doing Facilitating one‑hour live workshops on life competencies (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) for K‑8 cohorts, executing Alpha’s structured playbook rather than creating original content. Conducting motivation sessions leveraging student analytics and Alpha’s incentive mechanisms to achieve 100% student goal attainment. Developing Guides on program adherence and standards execution, providing concrete improvement directives. Sustaining your own student cohort while simultaneously advancing other Guides. Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators weekly to identify underperformance before escalation. What You Won’t Be Doing Delivering lectures or providing academic tutoring to students. Students progress through self‑directed applications without adult supervision. Creating curriculum or developing original lesson frameworks. The playbook is established; success is measured by execution fidelity, not creative innovation. Developing Guides on instructional methodology. Guides do not teach; you coach energy delivery, motivation tactics, and accountability enforcement. Granting exceptions when a student achieves 99% rather than 100%. Maintaining the standard demonstrates conviction in their capability to reach it. Serving as the campus “empathy anchor.” Students receive genuine connection here, alongside honest feedback and meaningful consequences. Head Coach Key Responsibilities Fulfill Alpha’s three commitments to every student in your cohort: they love school, learn twice as fast as a traditional classroom, and develop real‑life skills.
