Youth Development Specialist, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

Compensation & Locations $120,000 annual W2 compensation, distributed weekly; comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage begins day one. Campus‑based role at an Alpha K‑8 school in Beverly Hills, CA; Piedmont, CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Fort Lauderdale, FL; Miami Beach, FL; Palm Beach Gardens, FL; Chicago, IL; Raleigh, NC; Portland, OR (relocation assistance available). What You Will Be Doing Facilitating one‑hour life‑skills sessions for K‑8 groups covering public speaking, focus, feedback exchange, and other transferable competencies, customizing the framework and creating new modules when you identify a need. Conducting daily individual and small‑group coaching that drives every student toward their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot data, Alpha's motivational structures (campus currency, performance rankings), and your personal connection with each student to overcome reluctance. Overseeing Test2Pass administration (Alpha's competency‑based evaluation) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students who fall short until they demonstrate mastery. Modifying your approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring dynamic, movement‑based engagement to 8th graders needing candid conversations and clear accountability. Analyzing weekly cohort metrics in Coachbot, pinpointing students falling behind, and recalibrating your coaching tactics for the upcoming week based on data insights. What You Won’t Be Doing Delivering traditional whiteboard instruction; academic content is embedded in the applications, not your responsibility. Creating an entire program structure from scratch; you begin with an established framework and personalize it through your presence and narrative skills. Passively monitoring students during computer time; motivation in this context is active, individualized, and persistent. Working through administrative approval processes to secure support for struggling students; when a student requires additional coaching, you decide and implement immediately. Evaluating assignments, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent correspondence; Campus Leads manage parent interactions, and the other tasks do not exist in this model. Basic Requirements Able to work on‑site at an Alpha campus in the listed locations; relocation assistance provided. Bachelor's degree in any discipline. Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K‑8 students (including classroom instruction, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program management). A concrete example you can articulate of guiding a K‑8 student to a challenging goal: the objective, your actions, and the result. Comfort with AI managing instructional delivery while you focus on motivation and life‑skills development. Authorization to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship. Nice‑to‑have Requirements Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp administration, theater, or after‑school initiatives where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward defined objectives. Personal record of exceptional performance (academic, athletic, or career‑related), demonstrating that holding others to demanding standards reflects your natural approach rather than an adopted stance. Communication and presentation skills capable of commanding a room of 12‑year‑olds for an hour without needing to elevate your voice. Proven ability to convert unengaged or resistant students into willing participants. #J-18808-Ljbffr Crossover
