Education Coach, Alpha - $120,000/year USD

About the role

This is not a teaching position. This is a motivation role. The kindest thing you can do for a child who achieved 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation troubles you, this is not your role. If it energizes you—because maintaining high standards demonstrates your confidence in a student's ability—continue reading.

Responsibilities

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills sessions for K-8 groups covering public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange, and other essential competencies, customizing the framework and creating new content when you identify missing elements
• Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation meetings that drive every child toward their weekly app targets, leveraging Coachbot data, Alpha's reward structures (campus currency, performance rankings), and your individual relationships to overcome resistance
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's competency-based evaluation) for each life skill, then coaching students who fall short until they achieve mastery
• Adjusting your coaching approach across a broad developmental spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring dynamic energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and personal accountability
• Analyzing weekly cohort performance metrics in Coachbot, pinpointing students falling behind, and modifying your coaching tactics for the subsequent week based on data insights

Requirements

• Able 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 assistance available)
• Bachelor's degree in any field
• Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (teaching in classrooms, 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 actions, and the result
• Comfort allowing AI to manage instructional delivery while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills coaching

Qualifications

• Authorization to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship
• Nice-to-have requirements include background in youth sports coaching, debate programs, camp leadership, theater, or after-school initiatives where you held direct responsibility for motivating children toward defined objectives
• Demonstrated record of high achievement (academic, athletic, or professional), indicating that maintaining rigorous standards for others reflects your consistent approach rather than an adopted stance
• Narrative ability and presentation skills sufficient to engage a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without voice escalation
• Proven success converting unengaged or reluctant students into motivated contributors
