Youth Program Coordinator, Alpha - $150,000/year USD

About the role

At Alpha, kids learn academics in two hours a day through self-guided AI-powered apps. No teachers. No lectures. No classroom management of subject content. That frees you to do the work that actually changes their trajectory: leading high-energy workshops on public speaking, focus, and feedback; motivating students to hit every learning goal using real-time analytics; and coaching the Guides who work alongside you.

Responsibilities

• Leading one-hour live workshops on life skills (public speaking, focus, giving and receiving feedback) for K-8 (elementary and middle school) cohorts, following Alpha's playbook rather than improvising
• Running motivation sessions using student analytics and Alpha's incentive system (school currency, leaderboards) to drive 100% student goal completion
• Coaching Guides on program fidelity and standards enforcement, with every session producing tangible improvement actions
• Maintaining your own student cohort while developing other Guides
• Tracking student satisfaction scores, goal completion rates, and Guide performance metrics weekly to spot underperformance before it compounds

Requirements

• Willing to work on-campus in Atlanta, GA; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Austin, TX; Keller (Fort Worth), TX; The Woodlands (Houston), TX (relocation support provided)
• Bachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in education, learning and development, coaching, youth leadership, or a comparable field
• Track record of leading a team of 5 or more adults, including hiring and making performance-based termination decisions
• Direct experience working with kids aged 5-14 in an educational or developmental setting
• Built, launched, or significantly grew a program, team, business, school, or initiative from the ground up
• Proven use of data and metrics to set weekly goals and drive decisions, not just report results
• Likely to be legally authorized to work in the United States or Canada

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Education, Psychology, Organizational Leadership, or a related field
• Coached athletics, led wilderness or experiential programs, directed camps, or ran youth ministry at a scale that required running cohorts and measuring outcomes
• Left classroom teaching to build or run programs from a different seat: EdTech, tutoring businesses, youth nonprofits, or school intervention teams
• Early-career track record of high personal performance — academic, athletic, or professional — before moving into leadership
• Belief that the current education system is broken and personal investment in rebuilding it
