Lead Coach / Program Director

Love to Code Academy is a youth character development program where technology is the training ground and coaching is how character forms. We’re looking for a Lead Coach and Program Director who takes both seriously. You already know this person. It might be you. You notice the kid who goes quiet when the project gets hard. Most coaches move on. You stay. You’ve worked in programs where the goal was completion, finish the lesson, hit the milestone, move the class forward. You did the work. But something was missing. The kid who struggled with confidence last month still struggles. The one who dominates every group project hasn’t learned to share the spotlight. The curriculum moved. The kids didn’t. You believe that’s fixable. You believe the right environment, with the right coaching, real expectations, and a clear framework, can actually change how a kid shows up. Not just in class. In life. Day to Day This is a dual role. You are both a front line coach and a program leader. That means two things have to be true: you’re great with kids, and you can hold a program together. As Lead Coach Coach students through coding, robotics, and esports projects using the Character Framework Deliver real‑time feedback tied to character traits, not just project outcomes Build relationships with students across all belt levels, from White to advanced Facilitate capstone projects and belt progression reviews Model the same traits you coach: persistence, integrity, mentorship As Program Director Oversee session planning, curriculum sequencing, and coach coordination Maintain program quality and ensure the Character Framework is active in every class Communicate with families about student character growth and progress Support the hiring and development of other coaches as the program grows Partner with LTCA leadership on program design and strategic direction Honest About Fit This role isn’t for everyone. We’d rather say that now. This role is a fit if you: Lead with encouragement and follow through with accountability Can hold high expectations and a warm environment at the same time See technology as a tool, not the point Want your coaching to matter beyond the session, in how kids carry themselves outside this room Are ready to be trained in curriculum and grow as a program leader This role is not a fit if you: Want a teaching job where you deliver content and move on Are looking for a role where character development is optional Prefer to work independently without coaching feedback and accountability If the first list describes you and the second makes you uncomfortable to read, keep going. #J-18808-Ljbffr
