You are not here to teach. You are here to drive results.

Responsibilities

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills sessions for K-8 groups covering public speaking, focus, feedback exchange, and other foundational competencies, customizing the existing framework and creating new sessions when you identify unmet needs
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivational coaching that drives every student toward their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot data, Alpha's reward mechanisms (school currency, performance rankings), and your personal rapport 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 mastery is achieved
• Flexing your approach across a broad developmental spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to eighth graders needing candid conversations and personal accountability
• Analyzing weekly cohort performance metrics in Coachbot, pinpointing students who are falling behind, and modifying your coaching tactics for the upcoming week based on the insights the data provides

Requirements

• Available to work on-site at an Alpha campus 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 support provided)
• Bachelor's degree in any subject
• At least 3 years working directly with K-8 students (classroom teaching, coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program leadership)
• A specific example you can describe of motivating a K-8 student to a hard goal: the goal, what you did, and the outcome
• Willingness to let AI handle the instructional content while you focus on motivation and life-skills coaching

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 objectives
• Demonstrated personal excellence (academic, athletic, or professional) that makes maintaining high expectations for others a natural extension of your own standards, not an adopted stance
• Communication and presentation skills sufficient to engage a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to elevate your volume
• Promoted ability to transform unmotivated or resistant students into engaged contributors
