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

About the role

When a child struggles, most elementary schools reduce expectations. You do the opposite. You understand that a six-year-old can accomplish far more than traditional classrooms demand, and you have used data to demonstrate this repeatedly.

Responsibilities

• Using performance data, classroom observation, and direct feedback to coach Guides and students, then maintaining accountability to measurable goals for both
• Leading one-hour live workshops for K-3 students focused on life skills including public speaking, focus, collaboration, resilience, accountability, and giving and receiving feedback
• Conducting individual and small-group motivation sessions that link each child's goals and interests to tangible academic progress
• Creating and refining playbooks that convert your best practices into repeatable systems other Guides can implement reliably
• Training Guides on these playbooks and demonstrating excellence in facilitation to maintain standards as the team expands

Qualifications

• Willing to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Austin, TX or Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ; relocation support is available
• Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, Organizational Leadership, Child Development, or a related field
• Minimum of 5 years working with elementary-aged children (approximately ages 5 to 9)
• Experience leading a team of 5 or more people, with authority to hire and remove individuals based on performance outcomes
• Experience building, launching, or substantially growing a program, team, school, or initiative from the ground up, not inheriting an existing structure
• Comfortable working in a school that rejects traditional teaching methods
• Legally authorized to work in the United States

Benefits
