Learning Center Director, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

About the role

When a child faces difficulty, most elementary schools reduce expectations. You do the opposite. You know that six-year-olds are capable of significantly more than conventional classrooms demand, and you have used measurable outcomes to demonstrate this repeatedly.

Responsibilities

• Coaching both Guides and students through performance metrics, classroom observation, and clear feedback, then ensuring both groups meet measurable objectives
• Leading one-hour live workshops for K-3 students focused on life skills including public speaking, concentration, teamwork, resilience, accountability, and feedback processes
• Conducting individual and small-group sessions that link each child's personal goals and interests to tangible academic advancement
• Creating and improving playbooks that convert your proven methods into repeatable frameworks other Guides can implement reliably
• Training Guides on these playbooks and demonstrating excellence in facilitation to maintain standards as the team expands

Requirements

• Available to work on-site at an Alpha campus in New York City, NY; Miami, FL; or San Francisco, CA; relocation assistance is available
• Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, Organizational Leadership, Child Development, or related discipline
• Minimum 5 years of experience working with elementary-aged children (approximately ages 5 to 9)
• Demonstrated leadership of a team of 5 or more individuals, with hiring and termination authority based on performance results
• Proven experience establishing, launching, or substantially expanding a program, team, school, or initiative from inception, rather than managing an established operation
• Willing to work in an educational environment that rejects conventional teaching methods

Qualifications

• Master's degree in a relevant discipline
• Proven experience leveraging metrics, dashboards, or analytics to identify issues and produce measurable improvements
• Experience developing or managing other adults to achieve measurable results, beyond personal execution
• History of working in youth development, camp leadership, competitive coaching, tutoring, or enrichment programs where motivation played a central role
• Proficiency and confidence facilitating sessions or speaking publicly to groups of young children

Skills
