Program Director, Alpha - $150,000/year USD

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour workshops on essential competencies (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) for elementary and middle school cohorts (K-8), delivering Alpha's established playbook with precision rather than personal interpretation
• Conducting motivation interventions informed by student data and Alpha's incentive architecture (campus currency, performance leaderboards) to achieve 100% goal completion across your cohort
• Coaching Guides on program adherence and standards execution, ensuring every coaching interaction yields concrete improvement steps
• Managing your own student cohort while simultaneously developing other Guides
• Monitoring student satisfaction metrics, goal attainment rates, and Guide performance indicators on a weekly basis to identify declining performance early

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Teaching or tutoring academic content. Students progress through self-directed applications without direct adult instruction
• Creating curriculum or developing original lesson materials. The playbook is established; success is measured by execution fidelity, not creative reinvention
• Coaching Guides on instructional pedagogy. Since Guides don't teach, your coaching centers on energy management, motivational techniques, and accountability frameworks
• Accepting 99% performance when 100% is the standard. Maintaining expectations demonstrates your belief in student capability
• Serving as the campus emotional support figure. Students receive genuine connection alongside honest feedback and meaningful consequences
