Youth Education Manager, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitating one-hour live sessions in life skills and social-emotional learning (SEL) for K-8 students on subjects such as public speaking and concentration, adhering to Alpha's established framework.
• Conducting daily motivational sessions that ensure 100% of students meet their weekly app-based goals through age-appropriate incentives including school currency and leaderboards.
• Developing Guides via direct observation, precise feedback, and practical training so they execute workshops with equivalent energy and rigor.
• Analyzing Coachbot data and student records to pinpoint learners requiring support, then providing direct intervention.
• Personally mentoring your designated student cohort, exemplifying the coaching and motivational techniques you require from all Guides.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Creating lesson plans or building curriculum. Students advance via adaptive applications; your role is to elevate the people supporting them.
• Delivering traditional classroom lectures. You operate as 80% performer, 20% content expert; if you prefer standing at a whiteboard, this role isn't the right match.
• Compromising standards due to external pressure from parents or administration. A 99% score means "not yet"—and you will be empowered to maintain that threshold.
• Spending your day in an office handling administrative tasks. The majority of your time involves direct engagement with students and Guides.
• Waiting extended periods for performance evaluations. Outcomes are visible in real-time through Coachbot, and adjustments occur immediately.

Basic Requirements

• Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or comparable area.
• Demonstrated experience designing and executing educational programs, curricula, or training initiatives.
• Proven history of managing a team of 5 or more individuals, including responsibility for recruitment and performance-driven termination decisions.
• Background in coaching, mentoring, or delivering constructive feedback to enhance engagement and outcomes.
• Experience working directly with youth aged 5–14 in educational or developmental environments.
• Strong capability in leveraging data and metrics to inform decisions and foster continuous improvement.

• Experience as an athletic coach, camp director, or youth program coordinator where you directly motivated children to achieve measurable objectives.

• Confidence presenting to large groups of children. The type of presence that commands attention in a room full of 8-year-olds.
