Job description

\"Alpha is the future of education. That's not hyperbole: on average, Alpha students grow 2.6 times faster than peers on nationally normed MAP tests.\"

Alpha is hiring.

• Onsite in Dorado, Puerto Rico
• 150,000 USD salary, paid weekly

If you have outgrown the one-on-one session model and you refuse to lower the bar just to keep a client happy, this role will feel different. You will coach both kids and adults to ambitious outcomes, using data and clear standards, not scripts and feel-good check-ins.

Alpha School is building an AI-powered model where students master core academics in just two hours a day, then spend afternoons building real-world life skills. Our promise is simple and demanding: students love school, learn 2× faster than peers, and build life skills. This role exists to make sure that promise is real for every K-8 student on our Dorado campus.

You will stay hands-on. You will run one-hour life skills workshops, lead structured motivation sessions that move students forward in academic apps, and coach Guides with direct feedback and concrete improvement actions. This is not a traditional teaching role, and it is not a passive leadership job. You will be accountable for outcomes, fidelity to playbooks, and uncompromising standards.

If you want to lead from the front and build a campus culture where results are earned, show us how you drive high standards without excuses.

What You Will Be Doing

• Facilitate one-hour life skills workshops for K-8 students by preparing and executing activities exactly to playbooks
• Run structured motivation sessions that push students to advance in academic apps and hit goals
• Observe Guides in action and deliver standards-based coaching with clear improvement actions and follow-through
• Use objective, data-driven judgment to uphold mastery standards, even when it is uncomfortable
• Collaborate day to day with campus staff to ensure consistent delivery of Alpha’s 3 Promises

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Teach or tutor academic content in a traditional classroom format
• Write lesson plans or design curriculum
• Improvise workshops or drift from established playbooks
• Lower mastery standards or reduce goals to manufacture “success”
• Lead from a desk through admin work while others do the real work with students

Executive Coach Key Responsibilities

Make sure that every K-8 student at Alpha’s Dorado campus consistently experiences Alpha’s 3 Promises: they love school, learn 2× faster, and build life skills.

Basic Requirements

• Authorized to work in Puerto Rico
• Ability to work full-time on-site at the Dorado, Puerto Rico campus
• Bachelor’s degree
• 5+ years of relevant experience coaching people to ambitious outcomes
• Experience working with children ages 5-14 in a coaching, motivation, or youth development setting
• Experience coaching or leading adult performance with clear standards and accountability
• Strong verbal communication skills for K-8 audiences
• Data-driven decision-making ability (using metrics/analytics to set direction and hold the line)
• High-standards mindset with comfort giving direct feedback and holding goals without compromise
