Coach, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

About the role

This role is not about teaching. It is about motivation. The highest form of support for a student who reaches 99% of their target is to insist it is not finished. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this role is not the right fit. If it resonates because maintaining a high standard is how you demonstrate belief in a student's potential, continue reading.

Responsibilities

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills sessions for K-8 groups on public speaking, concentration, feedback culture, and other foundational competencies, modifying existing frameworks and creating new workshops when you identify unmet needs
• Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching sessions that drive every student to 100% completion of weekly app objectives, leveraging Coachbot data, Alpha's reward structures (campus currency, competitive leaderboards), and personal rapport to overcome resistance
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's competency verification tool) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students who do not initially pass until mastery is achieved
• Adjusting your approach across a broad developmental spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high-energy engagement and physical activity to 8th graders needing candid conversation and personal accountability
• Serving as both the adult who maintains rigorous expectations and the adult students choose to confide in; genuine connection earns the credibility to challenge, and challenging communicates your confidence in their capability

Requirements

• Available to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Brownsville, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX (Central, South, or The Woodlands); Park City, UT — relocation assistance provided
• Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in any discipline
• Minimum of 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (teaching, 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 itself, your specific actions, and the result
• Comfort allowing AI to deliver instructional content while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills development
• Regular use of generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
• Authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto location)

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Background in youth sports coaching, debate programs, camp leadership, theater, or after-school initiatives where you held direct accountability for motivating young people toward defined outcomes
• Demonstrated record of exceptional performance (academic, athletic, or professional), such that maintaining high standards for others reflects consistent personal practice, not adopted rhetoric
• Communication and presence skills capable of sustaining the attention of a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to elevate your voice
• Proven ability to convert disengaged or reluctant students into committed, active learners
