Leadership Development Coach, Alpha - $150,000/year USD
Crossover•New York, NY
fulltime
Consulting, Education, and Training
3+ years
You have excelled in an arena defined by fierce competition. Perhaps elite sports, a distinguished academic record at a top university, a role at a highly selective organization, or a company you launched and grew yourself. You understand the distinction between participation and genuine competition. Picture channeling that drive into a classroom of K-12 students who have never encountered someone with credentials like yours—someone ready to hold them to standards they never imagined reaching.
Alpha deploys AI-powered individualized instruction, enabling students to complete core academics in roughly two hours daily. The remaining time is dedicated to developing life skills, pursuing passions, and fostering meaningful personal growth. At Alpha's most rigorous campuses, students require more than oversight. They need a credible mentor whose personal accomplishments establish the benchmark: someone capable of assessing group dynamics, shaping culture, and guiding students through resistance, distraction, and doubt.
Your role is not to teach content; it is to coach, challenge, and maintain the same exacting standards you have applied to yourself. You will dedicate 80% of your time to direct one-on-one and small-group coaching alongside life-skills workshops. The remaining 20% involves establishing daily momentum: purposeful morning sessions that cultivate a culture rejecting mediocrity.
The trajectory here emphasizes depth over hierarchy. You begin by mastering Alpha's methodology and earning student trust. Within months, you become the individual they rely on to push them beyond perceived limits. The reward is not a title change. It is witnessing a student who avoided eye contact in September deliver a confident presentation to adults in May.
If you seek to leverage your elite credentials for impact beyond personal achievement, apply now. If you require scripted lessons, conventional classroom structure, or advancement into administration, this is not the right fit.
