$75 USD/hour
W2 salary, paid weekly.Day-one health benefits. Relocation support available. Long-term role.
Internal Number: 4844
This position is posted by Crossover on behalf of Alpha School.
Lead Guide $150,000 USD/year ($75 USD/hour)
Multiple Locations: Atlanta, GA · Oklahoma City, OK · Tulsa, OK · Austin, TX · Keller (Fort Worth), TX · The Woodlands (Houston), TX · Park City (Salt Lake City), UT · Toronto, Canada
Hours: 08:00 am to 05:00 pm, M-F | In-person | Full-time (40 hrs/week) Long-term role
The most supportive thing you can do for a kid who scored 99% is tell them they didn't pass. If that sentence made you flinch, stop reading. If it made you nod, keep going.
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.
Your morning might start with a one-on-one coaching session with a Guide, reviewing performance data and identifying where a cohort is falling behind. By midday you're leading a live workshop with students, running a playbook activity on giving and receiving feedback. Afternoons shift to motivation sessions: connecting with individual students, understanding what drives them, and using Alpha's incentive model to get a resistant 7th grader back on track. You carry your own cohort directly, so you stay sharp on the same skills you're coaching others to develop.
You've probably been the square peg in education: too data-driven, too results-focused, too willing to challenge what's "supposed to" happen with kids. Alpha is the first place that might actually fit. You'll coach other Guides from day one, and as you deliver results at scale, your influence over campus-wide program quality grows.
Hold the standard. Change the student. Apply now.
What you will be doing: - Leading one-hour live workshops on life skills (public speaking, focus, giving and receiving feedback) for K-8 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
What you will NOT be doing: - Lecturing or tutoring students on academic subjects — students learn through self-guided apps without an adult in the room - Designing curriculum or building lesson plans from scratch — the playbook exists; the bar is fidelity of delivery, not originality - Coaching Guides on teaching technique — Guides don't teach, so you're coaching energy, motivation, and accountability instead - Making exceptions when a student scores 99% instead of 100% — holding the line is how you show them you believe they can get there - Being the "big ball of empathy" every school has — kids get connection here, and they also get honest feedback and real consequences
Key responsibilities: Deliver Alpha's three promises to every student in your cohort: they love school, learn twice as fast as a traditional classroom, and develop real life skills.
Candidate requirements: - Willing to work on-campus in Atlanta, GA; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Austin, TX; Keller (Fort Worth), TX; The Woodlands (Houston), TX; Park City (Salt Lake City), UT; or Toronto, Canada (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 - Legally authorized to work in the United States or Canada
Nice to have: - 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
