Job Coach

On-site position in Austin, TX (relocation assistance available) $150,000 annual salary, paid weekly. Full health benefits from day one. The greatest service you can offer a teenager launching a business is the refusal to accept mediocrity. You understand that setting high expectations isn't applying pressure—it's demonstrating your belief in what the student is capable of achieving. If this perspective resonates with you, continue reading. You'll work with high school students who are building legitimate companies with $1M potential. These aren't classroom exercises or hypothetical scenarios. Approximately 60-65% of your time will be dedicated to 1:1 coaching: pinpointing where each founder encounters obstacles, determining the most impactful next step, and ensuring accountability to a concrete action plan. The remaining 35-40% will be divided between academic monitoring and facilitating workshops designed to equip students with practical capabilities, not merely theoretical knowledge. This role is not conventional teaching. You are accountable for holistic student outcomes: entrepreneurial progress, academic performance, and personal development simultaneously. Your coaching will be informed by dashboards, venture updates, and academic metrics—not guesswork. When a student's grades begin to decline, you step in proactively. When a venture loses momentum, you identify the underlying issue, not the surface-level symptom. You'll begin by understanding each student's business, their capabilities, and where they consistently struggle. Over time, you become the advisor whose challenges they respect, because you've operated in the real world yourself. The payoff is witnessing a 16-year-old arrive with a concept and depart with an operational business, the discipline to sustain it, and academic results that preserve future opportunities. What You Will Be Doing Providing 1:1 coaching to student founders on strategic decisions, execution tactics, and scaling challenges — approximately two-thirds of your weekly hours Leveraging student dashboards, venture metrics, and academic records to assess progress and identify priority actions Tracking academic performance and taking early action when concentration or time management issues emerge Designing and delivering workshops that emphasize hands‑on skill development Facilitating stand‑ups, debriefs, and group accountability sessions that reinforce commitment to individual objectives What You Won’t Be Doing Teaching traditional classes or adhering to a fixed curriculum (you enable applied learning, not lecture-based instruction) Offering broad mentorship or inspirational speeches without concrete action commitments Handling student administration — calendar coordination, forms, or admissions tasks Attending routine faculty meetings or navigating institutional processes (your focus remains on direct student impact) Youth Entrepreneurship Coach Key Responsibilities Guide student founders in developing $1M-potential ventures while ensuring they maintain strong academic standing.
