Learning and Development Manager, Alpha - $150,000/year USD

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour live workshops on life skills (public speaking, focus, feedback exchange) for K-8 cohorts, executing Alpha's established playbook rather than creating new content
• Conducting motivation sessions that leverage student data and Alpha's incentive systems (school currency, leaderboards) to achieve 100% goal completion across cohorts
• Developing Guides on program adherence and standards execution, with each coaching interaction yielding specific improvement actions
• Managing your own student cohort while simultaneously coaching other Guides
• Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide performance indicators weekly to identify underperformance early

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Teaching or tutoring students on academic content. Students progress through self-paced apps independently, without adult-led instruction
• Creating curriculum or developing original lesson content. The playbook is established; execution fidelity is the measure of success, not innovation
• Training Guides on instructional methods. Guides don't teach content, so your coaching centers on energy, motivation, and accountability
• Accepting 99% when the standard is 100%. Maintaining expectations demonstrates your belief in student capability
• Serving as the "empathy champion" common in traditional schools. Students receive both connection and direct, honest feedback with real accountability
