Senior Learning Experience Manager, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour in-person life skills and social-emotional learning (SEL) sessions with K-8 students covering topics such as public speaking and focus, adhering to Alpha's established framework.
• Conducting daily motivation sessions designed to ensure 100% of students reach their weekly app-based learning targets using age-appropriate motivators including school currency and leaderboards.
• Developing Guides through direct observation, precise feedback, and practical training to ensure they execute sessions with equivalent energy and rigor.
• Analyzing Coachbot data and student records to determine which individuals require direct support, then providing that intervention yourself.
• Personally mentoring your assigned student cohort, demonstrating the coaching and motivational techniques you require from all Guides.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum. Students advance through adaptive applications; your role is making the people supporting them exceptional.
• Delivering traditional classroom lectures. You're primarily an engager and motivator; if standing at a whiteboard appeals to you, this role isn't aligned.
• Compromising standards due to external pressure from families or school leadership. A 99% score means "not yet"—and you'll be supported in maintaining that threshold.
• Spending time at a desk managing administrative documents. The majority of your day involves direct engagement with students and Guides.
• Delaying performance conversations for scheduled reviews. Outcomes are visible in real time via 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 not required)
• Minimum of 5 years' experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or comparable field
• Demonstrated experience creating and executing educational programs, curricula, or training systems
• Proven leadership of teams comprising 5 or more individuals, including responsibility for recruitment and performance-based dismissal decisions
• Experience providing coaching, mentorship, or actionable feedback to enhance engagement and outcomes
• Background working with children ages 5–14 in educational or developmental contexts
• Capability in leveraging data and performance metrics to inform decisions and drive ongoing improvement
• Legal authorization to work in the United States

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Master's degree in Education, Psychology, or Business
• Experience as an athletic coach, camp director, or youth program coordinator in which you directly motivated young people to achieve quantifiable goals
• Background coaching adults in positions where performance was measured and evaluated
• Ability to command attention and energy when presenting to large groups of children—the presence that makes a room of 8-year-olds fully engaged.
