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

In-person: Beverly Hills, CA; La Jolla (San Diego), CA; Piedmont, CA; South Bay (LA), CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Miami, FL; Boston, MA; Bethesda, MD; Raleigh, NC; New York City, NY; Seattle, WA (relocation assistance available). $200,000/year, paid weekly. Health, dental, and vision coverage from day one. Alpha students don’t attend traditional lectures. They advance through adaptive applications at double the speed of conventional classrooms while developing practical life skills simultaneously. Your role ensures three core commitments are met for every student in your cohort: they develop a love for school, accelerate learning by 2x, and acquire capabilities no textbook can provide. You’ll also mentor the Guides who fulfill these same commitments throughout your campus. Data informs every choice, and every workday involves direct interaction. You’ll divide your time between your own student cohort and the Guides under your leadership—trackable advancement is the expectation for both. When a Guide’s session underperforms, you observe, discuss, and resolve it within hours. You may be initiating a completely new campus from the ground up and setting the cultural foundation that will shape the school. As the campus develops, your priorities transition from operational startup work to coaching leadership, cultivating the team that expands Alpha’s approach across your area. What You Will Be Doing Facilitating one‑hour live life‑skills and social‑emotional learning (SEL) sessions with K‑8 students covering subjects like public speaking and concentration using Alpha’s established playbook. Conducting daily motivational sessions that ensure 100% of students reach their weekly app targets through age‑appropriate incentives such as school currency and leaderboards. Developing Guides via observation, focused feedback, and direct training so they execute workshops with the same enthusiasm and accuracy you demonstrate. Analyzing Coachbot data and student profiles to pinpoint who requires intervention, then providing personal support. Directly mentoring your own student cohort, exemplifying the coaching and motivational techniques you require from every Guide. What You Won’t Be Doing Creating lesson plans or building curriculum. Students advance via adaptive apps; your responsibility is making the people supporting them exceptional. Delivering traditional lectures to a classroom. You’re 80% performer, 20% content expert; if standing at a whiteboard appeals to you, this isn’t the right role. Compromising standards due to pressure from parents or administrators. When a student achieves 99%, the response is “not yet” — and you’ll have organizational support to maintain that standard. Working from an office reviewing documents. The majority of your time is spent directly with students and Guides. Waiting extended periods for performance evaluations. Data is accessible in real‑time through Coachbot and adjustments occur immediately. Coaching Manager Key Responsibilities Fulfill Alpha’s 3 Promises throughout your cohort and among the Guides you develop: every student loves school, accelerates learning at 2x speed, and develops authentic life skills.
