Learning Coach, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

“We are never going to lower the standard for any kid — instead we're going to raise the support to help them get there.” — Braden, Head Guide, Alpha Austin

About the role

Alpha is hiring for an in‑person Learning Coach position at an Alpha campus in New York City, NY or Miami, FL; relocation support is provided. This is a full‑time role.

Most schools respond to struggling students by lowering expectations. You don't. You believe young children are capable of far more than traditional classrooms ask of them, and you've built teams that prove it with measurable results. You know that motivation, accountability, and high standards change lives more than another worksheet ever will. At Alpha, academics happen in just two hours each morning through adaptive learning technology. That frees you to focus on the work that has the biggest long‑term impact: coaching students to become independent learners while developing the Guides who make that growth possible. You will own outcomes for a cohort of K‑3 students, using data, observation, and coaching to ensure every child loves school, learns twice as fast, and develops exceptional life skills. This is not an instructional coach role, nor a principal role. You won't spend your days buried in meetings or paperwork. You'll be in classrooms, analyzing student and Guide performance, delivering workshops on communication, resilience, focus, and accountability, and coaching both children and adults toward measurable improvement. Your influence won't stop with your own cohort. You'll document what works, build playbooks that raise the standard across the school, and help shape how Alpha develops future Guides. If you're energized by building people, scaling excellence, and proving that extraordinary outcomes are possible when expectations stay high, we'd love to meet you.

Responsibilities

• Coach Guides and students using performance data, classroom observations, and direct feedback to achieve measurable improvements.
• Facilitate engaging workshops for K‑3 students focused on communication, resilience, collaboration, accountability, focus, and other life skills.
• Lead one‑on‑one and small‑group coaching sessions that connect student motivation to academic growth and independence.
• Build and refine repeatable coaching playbooks that raise performance across the Guide team.
• Train and mentor Guides while modeling exceptional coaching and facilitation every day.
