• Conducting motivation sessions that leverage student performance data and Alpha's incentive architecture (campus currency, ranking systems) to achieve 100% goal attainment
• Coaching Guides on adherence to program standards and expectations, ensuring each session generates specific performance improvement steps
• Carrying your own student cohort while simultaneously developing Guide capabilities
• Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal completion percentages, and Guide effectiveness indicators on a weekly basis to identify performance gaps early

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Master's degree in Education, Psychology, Organizational Leadership, or related area
• Background coaching sports teams, leading outdoor or experiential education programs, managing camps, or directing youth ministry at sufficient scale to require cohort management and outcome measurement
• Transitioned from classroom instruction to program development or operations roles in EdTech, tutoring enterprises, youth-focused nonprofits, or school support teams
