Career Coach, Alpha - $150,000/year USD

What You Will Be Doing

• Leading one-hour live workshops on life skills (public speaking, focus, giving and receiving feedback) for K-8 (elementary and middle school) cohorts, following Alpha's playbook rather than improvising
• Running motivation sessions using student analytics and Alpha's incentive system (school currency, leaderboards) to drive 100% student goal completion
• Coaching Guides on program fidelity and standards enforcement, with every session producing tangible improvement actions
• Maintaining your own student cohort while developing other Guides
• Tracking student satisfaction scores, goal completion rates, and Guide performance metrics weekly to spot underperformance before it compounds

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Lecturing or tutoring students on academic subjects. Students learn through self-guided apps without an adult in the room.
• Designing curriculum or building lesson plans from scratch. The playbook exists; the bar is fidelity of delivery, not originality.
• Coaching Guides on teaching technique. Guides don't teach, so you're coaching energy, motivation, and accountability instead.
• Making exceptions when a student scores 99% instead of 100%. Holding the line is how you show them you believe they can get there.
• Being the "big ball of empathy" every school has. Kids get connection here, and they also get honest feedback and real consequences.
