What You Will Be Doing

  • Providing 1:1 coaching to student entrepreneurs on strategy, execution, and scaling — this will occupy roughly two-thirds of your time

  • Tracking academic standing and stepping in proactively when attention or organizational skills begin to falter
  • Designing and running workshops with tangible, application-focused outcomes
  • Facilitating stand-ups, retrospectives, and group accountability sessions that reinforce personal commitments

What You Won’t Be Doing

  • Offering broad mentorship or inspirational guidance without enforcing concrete next steps
  • Handling administrative tasks such as scheduling, documentation, or admissions coordination
  • Attending routine faculty meetings or dealing with institutional red tape (your focus remains on direct student impact)

Basic Requirements

  • Must be willing to work on-site at Alpha High School in Austin, TX (relocation assistance is available)
  • Minimum of 2 years coaching or developing others (whether direct reports, peers, or clients), with a concrete example of a coaching engagement and its measurable results
  • Proven professional experience owning critical outcomes or performance metrics, including at least one instance where you influenced $500,000+ in annual revenue
  • At least 1 year working directly with young people (students, junior professionals, or youth program participants) on initiatives, skill development, or entrepreneurial projects
  • Legal authorization to work in the United States

Nice-to-have Requirements

  • Founded, co-founded, or played an operational role in a startup or early-stage venture
  • Prior experience as a Chief of Staff, program director, or high-impact individual contributor with end-to-end ownership of results
  • Familiarity with AI-powered tools (such as ChatGPT, Copilot) to enhance coaching preparation, data review, or stakeholder communication
  • Experience in K-12 education, EdTech, or programs that integrate academic rigor with practical application (e.g., accelerators, project-based curricula, entrepreneurship initiatives)
