Camp Coordinator, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

About the role

This is not a teaching position. This is a motivation role. The most meaningful support you can offer a student who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this role is not for you. If it energizes you because maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a student's capability, continue reading.

Responsibilities

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 student cohorts addressing public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational competencies, customizing the existing playbook and creating new sessions when you identify unmet needs
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that drive every student to 100% completion of their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive mechanisms (school currency, leaderboards), and your personal connection with each student to overcome resistance
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery-based evaluation) for each life skill, and providing coaching to students who do not pass until mastery is achieved
• Modifying your coaching approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical engagement to 8th graders needing direct communication and accountability
• Serving as the adult who maintains expectations and the adult students trust and seek out; warmth creates the foundation to challenge, and challenging demonstrates your confidence in their potential

Requirements

• Available to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Brownsville, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX (Central, South, or The Woodlands); Park City, UT; or Toronto, Canada (relocation assistance provided)
• Bachelor's degree in any field
• Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (classroom instruction, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program management)
• A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging objective: the objective, your actions, and the result
• Comfort allowing AI to manage instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills development
• Routine use of generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
• Legal authorization to work in the US without visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto location)

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp leadership, theater, or after-school programming where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward defined goals
• Demonstrated history of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), such that holding others to demanding standards reflects your values, not an adopted stance
• Narrative ability and presence sufficient to command the attention of a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without escalating volume
• Proven success converting disengaged or reluctant students into active contributors
