Executive Coach, Alpha - $150,000/year USD
About the role
When a child faces difficulty, most elementary schools reduce expectations. You do the opposite. You are convinced that six-year-olds are far more capable than traditional classrooms demand of them, and you have used evidence to demonstrate this repeatedly.
Alpha operates on a two-hour learning framework. Adaptive applications handle morning academics, freeing your schedule for the activities that genuinely transform a child's trajectory: motivation, life skills, coaching, and accountability.
Responsibilities
- Coaching Guides and students through performance metrics, classroom observation, and targeted feedback, then maintaining accountability for measurable objectives
- Leading one-hour live workshops for K-3 students on life skills including public speaking, focus, collaboration, resilience, accountability, and feedback processes
- Conducting individual and small-group motivation sessions that link each child's aspirations and interests to tangible academic advancement
- Creating and iterating on playbooks that convert your most effective practices into replicable systems other Guides can implement reliably
- Training Guides on these playbooks and demonstrating excellence in facilitation to maintain standards during team expansion
Qualifications
- Willing to work in person at an Alpha campus in Austin, TX or Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ; relocation support is provided
- Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, Organizational Leadership, Child Development, or a related field
- At least 5 years working with elementary-aged children (roughly ages 5 to 9)
- Experience leading a team of 5 or more people, including authority to hire and to remove people based on performance outcomes
- Experience building, launching, or significantly growing a program, team, school, or initiative from the ground up, not inheriting an existing one
- Comfortable working in a school that rejects traditional teaching methods
- Comfortable working with young children in a public speaking or facilitation capacity
Executive Coach Key Responsibilities
- Fulfill Alpha's three commitments to every K-3 student: they love school, learn twice as fast, and develop exceptional life skills and independence
Nice-to-have Requirements
- Master's degree in a related field
- Track record using metrics, dashboards, or analytics to diagnose problems and drive measurable improvement
- Experience coaching or managing other adults toward measurable outcomes, not just doing the work yourself
- Background in youth development, camp leadership, competitive coaching, tutoring, or enrichment where motivation was central
