Senior Instructional Coach

• $200,000 salary with premium benefits in top-tier metro locations
• Transform education by coaching elite educators who double student learning speed
• Join the team redefining what's possible in modern education
  
  

At Alpha, we're rewriting what school feels like. Our kids don't sit through lectures—they sprint through adaptive apps, master content twice as fast, and pick up real-world life skills along the way. Your mission is to make sure those "3 Promises" land for every student in your cohort and to coach our Guides so they can do the same.

You'll blend elite coaching chops with show-host energy, turning workshops, data-driven hype huddles, and targeted feedback into unforgettable learning moments. If you've shattered records, flipped under-performers into stars, or simply refuse to accept "good enough," we want you building greatness with us.

What You Will Be Doing

• Training and developing Guides to run Alpha's workshops with world-class excellence
• Creating Guide Playbooks detailing best practices for facilitation, designing rewarding learning activities, and navigating challenges
• Providing regular, actionable feedback to Guides to amplify student engagement and achievement
• Directly mentoring a small cohort of students, modeling expert coaching and motivation strategies
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Writing lesson plans – your Guides facilitate students' learning through adaptive apps; your focus is on training them to be exceptional motivators
• Lowering standards – if our passing grade is 100%, it's your job to maintain that bar
• Delivering boring training – you'll coach Guides through engaging, high-energy, hands-on development
