Associate, Alpha - An Edu Startup - $100,000/Year Usd

Crossover is the world's #1 source of full-time remote jobs. Our clients offer top-tier pay for top-tier talent. We're recruiting this role for our client, Alpha - an EDU Startup. Have you got what it takes?

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is an in-person role located at our campus in Brownsville, Texas.

Prepare for liftoff! If you're a high-flying achiever thirsty for a challenge and determined to turn the traditional world of education on its head, then you are the missing star in our Alpha Schools universe. Brighten up the educational cosmos in our Brownsville, Texas campus, conveniently located in close orbit to SpaceX.

Alpha is a new kind of school. You won’t find stuffy lectures or rigid lesson plans here. Instead, we’ve built a place where students can learn at the right speed for them, rather than having to wait for their peers to catch up.

Instead of traditional learning tools, Alpha offers students adaptive apps and unique motivational strategies, all rooted in scientifically proven learning principles like mastery and spaced repetition. Our students learn twice as much as they would in a “regular” school — discovering their strengths, fostering their interests, and picking up valuable life skills along the way.

Instead of teachers, Alpha hires entertaining, energetic, and inspiring individuals like you who connect with students on a peer level. In this role, you are an explorer, igniting students' curiosity, guiding them toward ambitious academic goals, and shifting their perception of school from a chore to a thrilling pursuit of knowledge.

Please apply if…

• You’re a gifted, relatable motivator who can connect with kids on a peer level
• You’re a role model who holds yourself to the same high standards you expect from your students
• You have experience as a camp counselor, athletic coach, or similar non-teaching role

Why choose Alpha?

• Competitive pay - we believe you shouldn't take a pay cut to work in education
• Generous benefits and time off - we value our team and offer a comprehensive benefits package and paid time off
• Relocation assistance available for highly-qualified candidates
• Growth and learning culture - we model the growth & learning we expect our students to embrace, so you'll receive coaching, training, and opportunities for leadership

If you believe in the transformative power of the K-12 experience, Alpha is your mission. Let's revolutionize education together because, at Alpha, we know that the sky is not the limit.

What You Will Be Doing

• Leading Workshops: You’ll design and present workshops to students ranging in age from K-8th grade. Along with offering material that sparks the desire to explore and learn more, you’ll coach students on valuable life skills like public speaking, focus, and giving and receiving feedback.
• Holding daily Motivation Sessions: Because so much of personal success comes down to mindset, you’ll help students set a positive tone for their own daily learning as they advance.
• Cultivating student success: Following our playbooks, you’ll be responsible for ensuring that 100% of students achieve their academic goals and master core life skills.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Traditional teaching: At Alpha, students learn solely from self-guided, adaptive learning apps. You’ll be there to help them connect the dots, apply their new skills, and problem-solve along the way — no lectures required.
• Disciplining: The old-school learning model of pushing kids to the point of burnout or disengagement doesn’t apply here. Instead of punishments, you will share behavioral corrections and respectful reasoning that gets results.

Associate Key Responsibilities
