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

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour live sessions focused on life skills and social-emotional learning (SEL) with students in grades K-8 covering subjects such as public speaking and concentration, utilizing Alpha's established playbook
• Conducting daily motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of students reach their weekly application goals through age-appropriate motivators including school currency and performance leaderboards
• Developing Guides via direct observation, precise feedback, and practical training so they execute sessions with equivalent energy and accuracy
• Analyzing Coachbot data and student profiles to determine which students require intervention, then providing that intervention directly
• Personally mentoring your designated student cohort, demonstrating the coaching and motivational techniques you expect all Guides to employ

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum. Students progress through adaptive apps; your focus is making the people supporting them exceptional.
• Delivering traditional lectures before a classroom. You operate as 80% facilitator, 20% content expert; if you prefer standing at a whiteboard, this role isn't suitable.
• Compromising standards due to pressure from parents or administration. When a student achieves 99%, the response is "not yet" — and you'll receive full institutional support to maintain that threshold.
• Working from an office processing administrative documents. The majority of your time involves direct engagement with students and Guides.
• Waiting extended periods for performance evaluation. Data appears live in Coachbot and adjustments occur immediately.

Basic Requirements

• Currently located in or willing to relocate to Beverly Hills, CA; Piedmont, CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Miami, FL; Boston, MA; Raleigh, NC; New York City, NY; Seattle, WA (relocation assistance provided)
• Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, or related discipline (Master's preferred; traditional teaching certifications are not required)
• Minimum 5 years of experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or related field
• Demonstrated experience developing and executing educational programs, curricula, or training initiatives
• Proven history of managing a team of 5 or more individuals, including hiring decisions and performance-based terminations
• Demonstrated experience coaching, mentoring, or delivering constructive feedback to enhance engagement and performance
• Professional experience working with youth aged 5–14 in educational or developmental contexts
• Demonstrated proficiency utilizing data and metrics to inform decisions and drive continuous improvement

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Master's degree in Education, Psychology, or Business
• Experience as an athletic coach, camp director, or youth program manager where you directly motivated children to achieve quantifiable goals
• Background coaching adults in positions where performance was measured and evaluated
• Confidence performing before large groups of children. The type of presence that captures the attention of a room full of 8-year-olds
