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

On-site at an Alpha campus: Dallas, TX Oklahoma City, OK Austin, TX Fort Worth, TX $150,000/year W2 salary, paid weekly. Day-one health benefits. Relocation support available Telling a student who earned 99% that they haven’t passed may be the most supportive thing you can do. Not because perfection is the goal. Because believing someone is capable of more is one of the deepest forms of respect. Alpha doesn’t shield students from failure. We prepare them for success. Confidence doesn’t emerge from lowering standards—it’s forged when students accomplish what they once believed impossible. This principle informs every choice we make. Our approach is intentionally unconventional. Students achieve academic mastery independently through AI-powered platforms, which allows adults to dedicate their energy to the work that transforms lives: coaching character, cultivating resilience, nurturing leadership, and instilling habits that produce exceptional results. We don’t require adults to transmit content. We need leaders capable of unlocking potential in others. This position is central to that purpose. You’ll develop the Guides who interact directly with students, transforming them into outstanding coaches rather than traditional instructors. You’ll facilitate life skills workshops that resonate with students long after they leave. You’ll analyze performance data to pinpoint where students or Guides are underperforming and coach them toward excellence. You’ll also maintain your own student cohort, embodying the standards you set for others. The impact is substantial. Each Guide you develop influences dozens of students. Every enhancement you introduce to campus culture multiplies across hundreds of young lives. Success isn’t defined by meeting attendance or report volume. It’s determined by whether students grow more confident, disciplined, resilient, and capable due to the culture you cultivated. This role isn’t suited for anyone seeking to maintain the existing education system. It’s designed for someone convinced that young people deserve better than compliance, seat time, and mediocre expectations. If you’re motivated by coaching individuals through challenging obstacles, leveraging data to inform better decisions, and upholding high standards because you truly believe others can meet them, this environment will suit you. What You Will Be Doing Develop and coach Guides to execute Alpha’s coaching model with consistency, intensity, and rigorous standards. Facilitate dynamic life skills workshops addressing communication, focus, feedback, leadership, and resilience for K-8 students using established playbooks. Leverage student and Guide performance data to pinpoint coaching opportunities, eliminate obstacles, and produce measurable progress weekly. Conduct motivation sessions that empower every student to embrace ambitious goals and consistently reach them. Oversee your own student cohort while exemplifying the coaching quality and accountability you require from every Guide. What You Won’t Be Doing Instructing academic subjects. Students complete core academics autonomously via AI-powered learning platforms. Developing lesson plans or designing curriculum. Your responsibility is superior coaching, not producing instructional content. Controlling classrooms through lectures, worksheets, or behavior management systems. Students direct their learning, and you coach the practices that enable achievement. Reducing expectations to sidestep challenging discussions. Rigorous standards and authentic belief in every student’s capability are inseparable. Defining success by activity rather than outcomes. Results carry more weight than effort by itself.
