Job description

\"This is not a school that is replacing teachers. This is not a threat to teachers in any way, shape, or form. This is reimagining what a teacher can be.\"

— Sam DePalo, Lead Guide, Alpha Fort Worth Texas

Alpha is hiring.

• In person at an Alpha campus in Austin, TX or Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ — relocation support provided


• $150,000/year


• Full-time

Most elementary schools lower the bar when a child struggles. You raise it. You believe a six-year-old is capable of far more than a traditional classroom ever asks of them, and you have used data to prove it more than once.

Alpha runs on a two-hour learning model. Adaptive apps teach academics in the morning, which clears your day for the work that actually changes a child's life: motivation, life skills, coaching, and accountability. You personally own a cohort of K-3 students while coaching the Guides (Alpha's term for the adults who coach and inspire the kids) responsible for their daily progress. You stay hands-on every day, not managing from an office down the hall.

A normal day moves between three things. You read performance data and Coachbot analytics to find which students and Guides are off track. You run coaching conversations that send people away with a specific next step instead of vague encouragement. And you hold the attention of a room full of five- to nine-year-olds through a workshop on public speaking, focus, or giving and receiving feedback.

As you discover what works, you write it down. The playbooks you build become the standard every other Guide follows, so your impact grows from one cohort to the whole level. Proving you can scale that excellence is how you grow into bigger leadership here.

If lowering expectations feels like kindness to you, this is the wrong job. If raising them feels like respect, apply.
