Marketing Coordinator, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

IMPORTANT NOTE: This position requires in-person presence at our Austin, Texas campus.Traditional schools focus on teaching students what to think. This position focuses on teaching them how to execute.Alpha is constructing a fundamentally different high school—one where students don't attend lectures or memorize material. Instead, they build, ship, communicate, and grow. They launch projects, validate ideas, and acquire real-world capabilities that most adults never obtain. Your responsibility is to ensure they actually execute, and execute at a high level.You will collaborate directly with high school students as they launch businesses, operate projects, and cultivate the confidence, communication, and competence necessary to thrive beyond the classroom. You are not here to deliver theory. You are here to coach execution. You will establish rigorous standards, maintain accountability, and drive students to produce work that meets real-world benchmarks.This position suits individuals who have accomplished something substantial outside traditional academic settings—built a product, cultivated an audience, operated within a startup, or delivered results in a high-velocity environment—and wish to leverage that experience to develop the next generation. If you seek a conventional teaching position, this is not that. If you want to influence how ambitious teenagers think, act, and perform, this is your opportunity.If you have accomplished something meaningful in your career and want to dedicate your time to driving motivated teenagers toward their full potential, this is your opportunity.
