Elementary Program Lead, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

In-person position at an Alpha campus in New York City, NY, or Miami, FL — we provide relocation support$200,000/yearFull-timeWhen students struggle, most schools lower the bar. You take a different approach.You are convinced that young learners can achieve far more than conventional classrooms demand of them, and you have led teams that deliver measurable proof. You understand that high standards, accountability, and intrinsic motivation transform lives—not another set of worksheets.Alpha's academic instruction takes place in just two morning hours using adaptive learning technology. This structure allows you to concentrate on the work with the greatest long-term impact: developing students into independent learners and coaching the Guides who facilitate that growth. You will be accountable for outcomes within a K-3 cohort, relying on data, direct observation, and targeted coaching to ensure that every child thrives academically, learns at twice the typical pace, and builds outstanding life skills.This role is neither an instructional coaching position nor a principal role. Your days will not be consumed by administrative meetings or paperwork. Instead, you will spend time in classrooms, evaluating both student and Guide performance, leading workshops on topics like communication, focus, resilience, and accountability, and coaching children and adults toward concrete, measurable progress.Your impact will extend beyond your immediate cohort. You will capture best practices, create playbooks that elevate standards school-wide, and contribute to how Alpha trains future Guides. If you are motivated by developing people, scaling what works, and demonstrating that exceptional results follow high expectations, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you.What You Will Be DoingUse performance data, classroom observations, and direct feedback to coach both Guides and students toward measurable improvement.Design and deliver engaging workshops for K-3 students on life skills including communication, collaboration, resilience, accountability, and focus.Conduct one-on-one and small-group coaching sessions that link student motivation to academic progress and independence.Develop and refine scalable coaching playbooks that elevate Guide team performance.Mentor and train Guides while consistently modeling outstanding coaching and facilitation practices.What You Won’t Be DoingProviding traditional classroom instruction or lecturing on academic material; core academics are covered by adaptive technology.Using punishment or reduced expectations to manage discipline when students face challenges.Working from an office rather than engaging directly with students and Guides daily.Managing campus operations, budgets, or parent outreach; your focus remains on people development and outcome improvement.Adhering to conventional elementary school methods simply because "that's the way it's always been done."Elementary Program Lead Key ResponsibilitiesFulfill Alpha's three commitments for every K-3 student by cultivating high-performing Guides, intrinsically motivated students, and a coaching culture that reliably generates exceptional academic and life outcomes.Basic RequirementsWilling to work in person at an Alpha campus in New York City, NY or Miami, FL; relocation support is availableBachelor's degree in Education, Psychology, Business, Organizational Leadership, Child Development, or related discipline.Minimum of 5 years of experience working with elementary-aged children (approximately ages 5-9).Track record of leading teams of five or more people, including involvement in performance management and hiring.Experience building, launching, or substantially growing a program, school, team, or initiative—not simply maintaining an existing structure.Proven ability to use data and measurable outcomes to drive improvements in team or student performance.Enthusiastic about challenging traditional education models and adopting a coaching-first philosophy.Legally authorized to work in the United States.Nice-to-have RequirementsMaster's degree in a related field.Experience leveraging dashboards, analytics, or performance metrics to support continuous improvement.Proven success coaching adults to achieve measurable performance gains.Experience in youth development, competitive coaching, enrichment programs, camps, or similar high-accountability settings.Excellent public speaking and facilitation abilities with young children.About AlphaJoin the team building school around student growthAlpha reimagines the school day around faster learning, stronger mentorship, and more time for students to build real-world skills.Roles with real student impact: Alpha hires teachers (guides), operators, admissions experts, school & curriculum leaders, and remote team members.Education work that pays like it matters: Alpha offers six-figure roles for people ready to help build a radically better school experience.A culture built for builders: Alpha is fast-moving, ambitious, and student focused.
