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

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour interactive life skills and social-emotional learning (SEL) sessions with students in grades K-8 on subjects including public speaking and concentration, adhering to Alpha's established framework
• Conducting daily motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of students achieve their weekly application targets through age-appropriate mechanisms such as school currency systems and leaderboards
• Developing Guides via direct observation, focused feedback, and practical training so they execute workshops with equivalent enthusiasm and accuracy
• Analyzing Coachbot data and individual student records to determine who requires support, then providing direct intervention
• Personally guiding your designated cohort of students, demonstrating the coaching and motivational approaches you require from all Guides

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum. Students engage with adaptive applications; your function is to elevate the people supporting them.
• Delivering lectures at the front of a classroom. You operate as 80% facilitator, 20% content expert; if traditional teaching appeals to you, this role is not the fit.
• Compromising standards due to pressure from parents or school leadership. When a student achieves 99%, the response remains "not yet" — and you will have institutional support to maintain that boundary.
• Spending time at a desk processing administrative documents. The majority of your workday involves direct interaction with students and Guides.
• Waiting extended periods for performance evaluation. Outcomes are visible in real-time through Coachbot, and adjustments occur immediately.

Basic Requirements

• Currently residing in or prepared to relocate to Beverly Hills, CA; Piedmont, CA; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Miami, FL; Boston, MA; Raleigh, NC; New York City, NY; Seattle, WA (relocation assistance available)
• Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, or related discipline (Master's degree preferred; conventional teaching certifications are not required)
• Minimum 5 years of professional experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or comparable field
• Demonstrated experience creating and executing educational programs, curricula, or training solutions
• Proven history of managing a team of at least 5 individuals, including responsibility for recruitment and performance-based termination decisions
• Experience providing coaching, mentorship, or developmental feedback to enhance engagement and results
• Background working with children ages 5–14 in educational or developmental environments
• Skilled in leveraging data and performance metrics to inform decisions and foster ongoing improvement
• Authorized to work legally in the United States

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Master's degree in Education, Psychology, or Business
• Experience as a sports coach, camp director, or youth program coordinator where you directly inspired children to achieve quantifiable goals
