• On-site locations: Bethesda, MD; Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; Fort Lauderdale, FL; Seattle, WA; or CA: East Bay (San Francisco), Palo Alto, Santa Monica, or Los Angeles

Alpha is transforming the student experience. Our learners don't passively absorb lectures—they engage with adaptive technology, achieve mastery at twice the typical pace, and develop essential life skills simultaneously. Your role is to ensure every student in your assigned cohort receives the "3 Promises" we guarantee, and to develop our Guides so they deliver the same excellence.

You will combine expert coaching skill with dynamic presentation ability, transforming workshops, metrics-based motivational sessions, and focused feedback into powerful learning experiences. If you have broken performance records, converted struggling performers into top achievers, or consistently reject mediocrity, we want you to help us build excellence.

Why join Alpha?

• Competitive compensation for high-cost markets – elevated salary compared to standard guide positions to reflect metro-area living expenses
• Strong benefits & time off – full health coverage and substantial PTO
• Relocation support – offered to exceptional candidates
• Development-focused environment – access to coaching, training, and defined pathways to expand your influence
  
  

What You Will Be Doing

• Developing and training Guides to deliver Alpha's workshops at world-class standards
• Building Guide Playbooks that document facilitation best practices, design of engaging learning activities, and approaches to common obstacles
• Delivering consistent, practical feedback to Guides that increases student engagement and outcomes
• Personally coaching a small group of students, demonstrating advanced coaching and motivational techniques
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Creating lesson plans – your Guides support students working through adaptive software; you concentrate on training them to become outstanding motivators
• Accepting reduced expectations – when our standard is 100% mastery, your responsibility is to uphold that threshold
• Running dull training sessions – you'll develop Guides through dynamic, energetic, experiential learning
