Student Success Coach, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

$120,000 annual W2 compensation, distributed weekly, with full medical, dental, and vision coverage starting day one On-campus role at an Alpha location in Bethesda, MD; Boca Raton, FL; Boston, MA; Greenwich, CT; Malibu, CA; Miami, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Palm Beach, FL; San Francisco, CA; or Santa Barbara, CA (relocation assistance available) Traditional schools ask students to meet a standard. You'll help them surpass their own limits. Every student holds untapped potential they don't yet recognize. Many adults simplify expectations when students face difficulty. You take the opposite approach. You understand that genuine confidence doesn't emerge from empty praise—it's forged when someone achieves what they once believed was beyond their reach. If you've ever refused to let a student, athlete, participant, or mentee give up on themselves, this work will resonate with you. Alpha has reimagined education around a core principle: AI excels at academic delivery, while exceptional people excel at transformation. Students progress through foundational academics via adaptive, AI-driven learning platforms. Your responsibility is cultivating what technology cannot—discipline, grit, communication, accountability, concentration, and the conviction that challenging pursuits are worthwhile. Your days won't revolve around lesson delivery or assignment grading. Instead, you'll guide students through obstacles, acknowledge meaningful progress, and support them in reaching goals they previously considered unattainable. Approximately 60% of your time involves facilitating dynamic, one-hour life skills sessions covering subjects such as public speaking, concentration, leadership, and feedback exchange. Around 30% is devoted to individualized or small-group coaching, leveraging Coachbot analytics to determine who requires encouragement, accountability, or strategy adjustment. The final 10% centers on data review, coaching refinement, and positioning students for an even more productive week. You'll begin with established workshop structures, then enhance and expand them as you uncover more effective methods for inspiring students. Performance metrics are concrete. A minimum of 90% of your students should reliably achieve their weekly academic targets, demonstrate competency in Alpha's life skills via Test2Pass assessments, and evaluate their experience with you at 4 out of 5 or higher. Consistently meet this benchmark and you'll access a defined progression to Lead Guide, mentoring fellow Guides, and ultimately Campus Lead, where you'll influence the ethos and outcomes of an entire campus. This position isn't suited for those who prefer lecturing, curriculum adherence, or simply occupying students' time. It's designed for coaches, mentors, youth program leaders, performers, tutors, and educators whose definition of success centers on student transformation. Every finalist completes a full-day coaching experience with actual Alpha students before an offer is extended. If that prospect excites you more than another standard interview, we welcome your application. What You Will Be Doing Facilitating energetic, one-hour life skills sessions for K-8 students, building communication, grit, concentration, leadership, and other transferable competencies while iteratively enhancing the workshop delivery. Providing individualized and small-group coaching guided by Coachbot analytics, customized accountability measures, and Alpha's motivational frameworks to ensure every student reaches ambitious weekly targets. Evaluating life skill proficiency via Test2Pass and delivering focused coaching until each student exhibits true mastery, not merely attendance. Tailoring your coaching approach across elementary and middle school age groups, recognizing when a kindergartner requires movement and positive reinforcement versus when an eighth grader needs straightforward accountability. Reviewing weekly student performance metrics to detect trends, eliminate barriers, and continuously elevate results for your entire student group. What You Won’t Be Doing Conducting traditional classroom lessons. AI manages academic instruction, allowing you to concentrate on student development. Evaluating assignments, drafting lesson plans, or preparing students for standardized examinations. Supervising students who work quietly on devices. Each day is dynamic, participatory, and coaching-focused. Seeking permission before intervening with a struggling student. You possess the authority to respond immediately and take necessary action. Handling parent correspondence or administrative documentation. Campus Leads manage parent relations, enabling you to prioritize students.
