Head of Content, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an in-person position based at our Austin, Texas campus.Traditional schools focus on teaching students what to think. This position is designed to train them how to execute.Alpha is creating a fundamentally different high school—one where students skip lectures and memorization entirely. Instead, they build, ship, communicate, and improve. They launch projects, validate ideas, and acquire real-world capabilities that most adults never develop. Your responsibility is ensuring they actually follow through, and do so at a high standard.You will collaborate directly with high school students as they launch businesses, manage projects, and cultivate the confidence, communication skills, and competence necessary for post-school success. You are not here to deliver theory. You are here to coach execution. You will establish a demanding standard, enforce accountability, and challenge students to produce work that meets real-world expectations.This position suits individuals who have achieved something substantial beyond academic settings—built a product, expanded an audience, operated within a startup, or delivered results in a dynamic environment—and are ready to leverage that background to develop the next generation. If you seek a conventional teaching position, this isn't it. If you want to influence how driven teenagers think, behave, and perform, this is your opportunity.If you have accomplished something meaningful in your career and want to dedicate your time to pushing motivated teenagers toward their full capability, this is your place.
