Educational Consultant, Alpha - $150,000/year USD

The Role

The most impactful thing you can do for a student who achieves 99% is inform them they fell short. If that statement makes you uncomfortable, this role isn't for you. If it resonates, continue reading.

About the Role

Alpha students complete their academic learning in two hours daily through AI-powered, self-directed applications. No traditional teachers. No lectures. No classroom-based subject instruction. This structure allows you to focus on what genuinely shifts student outcomes: facilitating high-impact workshops on public speaking, concentration, and feedback; driving students toward complete goal attainment using live analytics; and developing the Guides who support your work.

Responsibilities

• Facilitating one-hour structured workshops on life competencies (public speaking, focus, feedback exchange) for elementary and middle school cohorts (K-8), executing Alpha's established playbook rather than creating original content
• Conducting motivation interventions using student performance data and Alpha's incentive architecture (school currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% goal completion across your cohort
• Developing Guides through coaching focused on program consistency and standards adherence, with each session yielding specific performance improvements
• Managing your own student cohort while simultaneously building capability in other Guides
• Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators weekly to identify declining performance early

Requirements

• Willing to work on-campus in Atlanta, GA; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Austin, TX; Keller (Fort Worth), TX; The Woodlands (Houston), TX (relocation support provided)
• Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in education, learning and development, coaching, youth leadership, or a comparable field
• Track record of leading a team of 5 or more adults, including hiring and making performance-based termination decisions
• Direct experience working with kids aged 5-14 in an educational or developmental setting
• Built, launched, or significantly grew a program, team, business, school, or initiative from the ground up
• Proven use of data and metrics to set weekly goals and drive decisions, not just report results
• Likely to have been the outlier in educational environments: excessively metrics-oriented, overly outcome-focused, too willing to question conventional approaches with students

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Education, Psychology, Organizational Leadership, or a related field
• Coached athletics, led wilderness or experiential programs, directed camps, or ran youth ministry at a scale that required running cohorts and measuring outcomes
• Left classroom teaching to build or run programs from a different seat: EdTech, tutoring businesses, youth nonprofits, or school intervention teams
• Early-career track record of high personal performance — academic, athletic, or professional — before moving into leadership
• Belief that the current education system is broken and personal investment in rebuilding it
