Principal Learning Consultant, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour interactive life skills and social-emotional learning (SEL) sessions with K-8 students covering subjects such as public speaking and concentration, adhering to Alpha's defined framework
• Conducting daily motivational check-ins that propel 100% of students toward their weekly application objectives using developmentally appropriate incentives including school currency and performance rankings
• Developing Guides through direct observation, specific feedback, and practical training so they execute sessions with equivalent energy and accuracy
• Analyzing Coachbot data and individual student records to determine who requires support, then providing that support directly
• Guiding your own assigned student cohort personally, demonstrating the coaching and engagement techniques you require from all Guides

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Creating lesson plans or building curriculum. Students advance via adaptive apps; your role is making the people supporting them exceptional.
• Delivering traditional classroom lectures. You're 80% facilitator and motivator, 20% content expert; if standing at a whiteboard was your goal, this isn't the right fit.
• Compromising standards due to external pressure from parents or administration. When a student reaches 99%, the response is "not yet" — and you'll have full organizational support to maintain that boundary.
• Working from an office reviewing administrative documents. The majority of your day involves direct engagement 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 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 systems
• Proven history of managing a team of 5 or more individuals, including recruitment and performance-based dismissal decisions
• Background in coaching, mentoring, or delivering constructive feedback to enhance engagement and outcomes
• Direct experience working with children ages 5–14 in educational or developmental environments
• Strong capability in leveraging data and performance metrics to inform decisions and foster continuous improvement

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Master's degree in Education, Psychology, or Business
• Experience as an athletic coach, camp director, or youth program coordinator where you directly inspired children to achieve quantifiable goals
• History of coaching adults in positions where their results were measured and evaluated
• Natural ability to engage and perform before large groups of children. The presence that commands attention in a room full of 8-year-olds
