Job description

• Location: On-site in Georgetown, TX (Austin area), with relocation support provided
• Compensation: $100,000/year
• Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours/week
• Benefits: Day-one health benefits

What You Will Be Doing

• Running one-hour life skill workshops on topics like public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback, delivered hands‑on and project‑based, with each session closed by a mastery assessment (Test2Pass) that students must pass to advance
• Leading daily motivation sessions: reviewing Coachbot analytics, connecting with each student's personal goals, and using level‑appropriate incentives to push through resistance and hit weekly advancement targets
• Personalizing your coaching approach using generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to adapt sessions to individual student profiles and learning patterns
• Reviewing curriculum and lesson plans before each session to deliver engaging, playbook‑compliant workshops that students rate highly
• Tracking satisfaction scores and app advancement metrics and adjusting your approach when the data shows students aren't advancing or aren't engaged

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Delivering academic content, tutoring, or explaining curriculum — students learn through self‑guided apps; your role is coaching and motivation, not instruction
• Being pressured to pass a student who hasn't demonstrated mastery: the standard holds regardless of how close they came
• Managing classroom behavior: these are gifted, motivated students; behavioral disruption isn't the primary challenge you're solving
• Building lesson plans from scratch: the curriculum and playbooks exist; your job is to execute them at a high level, not redesign them
• Grading papers, managing administrative paperwork, or attending planning meetings that don't connect to student outcomes

• Daily user of generative AI tools in an educational context (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or similar)
• Able to hold the attention of large student groups, in person and online, and build trust with gifted learners while coaching them toward ambitious goals
