Coaching Manager, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

Outstanding leaders understand that success isn't defined by their personal achievements. It's defined by the growth and accomplishments of those they lead. If you've developed high-performing teams, guided individuals to surpass expectations, and excel in settings where excellence is non‑negotiable, this position provides an opportunity to leverage those capabilities in shaping future generations. At Alpha, students don't sit through traditional lectures. They progress through academics via adaptive technology while Guides concentrate on coaching, inspiration, accountability, and life skills development. As a Lead Guide, you'll assemble and lead the team that brings this model to life—mentoring Guides, cultivating leaders, and establishing an environment where students routinely surpass expectations. This is not a traditional instructional coaching position, nor is it classroom teaching. You won't be evaluating lesson plans or observing lectures—because those don't exist here. Instead, you'll establish a culture of excellence through Guide coaching, facilitating impactful life skills workshops, and inspiring students toward ambitious objectives. Your performance will be evaluated based on student experience quality, team results, and your capacity to uphold rigorous standards while motivating others to reach them. Alpha is constructing the world's premier K-12 experience. That demands leaders who have demonstrated their ability to elevate others' performance, execute objective, data-informed decisions, and champion innovative approaches rather than defend outdated conventions. If that reflects your leadership style, we want to connect with you. This position is presently available at selected Alpha campuses: Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Miami, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Boston, MA; Raleigh, NC; New York City, NY; Orange County, CA; and Santa Barbara, CA. What You Will Be Doing Mentoring Guides to reliably provide exceptional student experiences while upholding Alpha's rigorous standards. Facilitating dynamic life skills workshops that cultivate communication, leadership, concentration, and other practical skills for K-12 students. Inspiring students to pursue ambitious learning objectives and maximize advancement in their self-directed academic pathways. Leveraging data, observation, and coaching dialogues to enhance Guide effectiveness and student results. Supporting the launch and establishment of new Alpha campuses by fostering a culture rooted in excellence, accountability, and ongoing improvement. What You Won’t Be Doing Conducting traditional academic classes or providing subject-specific lectures. Developing lesson plans or creating curriculum. Compromising standards to create superficial feelings of success rather than facilitating genuine mastery. Leading a team remotely without direct, regular coaching of students and Guides. Maintaining outdated methods simply because "that’s the way it's always been done."
