Job Description
• Based on-site in Austin, TX (we provide relocation support)
• $150,000 annually, paid each week. Full health benefits from day one.
The greatest support you can offer a high schooler launching a business is refusing to accept mediocrity. You understand that maintaining high expectations isn't creating pressure—it's demonstrating belief in what the student is capable of achieving. If this resonates with you, continue reading.
You'll work with high school founders building legitimate companies with $1M revenue potential. These are not academic exercises or mock ventures. Approximately 60-65% of your time will be dedicated to one-on-one coaching: pinpointing where each founder is blocked, determining the most impactful next step, and ensuring accountability to a defined action plan. The remaining 35-40% divides between monitoring academic performance and facilitating workshops that equip students with practical, applicable skills rather than theoretical knowledge.
This role is not traditional teaching. You are accountable for holistic student outcomes: business traction, academic performance, and individual development simultaneously. You'll leverage dashboards, progress reports, and academic metrics to coach with data-driven precision rather than guesswork. When a student's grades decline, you step in proactively. When a venture loses momentum, you surface the underlying issue, not the surface-level symptom.
You begin by understanding each student's business model, individual capabilities, and obstacles. Over time, you become the advisor whose challenges they respect, because you've operated in similar environments yourself. The outcome is witnessing a 16-year-old transform from having an initial concept to running a viable enterprise, building the rigor to sustain it, and maintaining academic standing that preserves future opportunities.
If you've sought a position where your operational background directly influences emerging entrepreneurs, submit your application now. If you prefer scripted lesson plans, predictable classroom dynamics, or environments where effort alone is sufficient, this isn't the right fit.
What You Will Be Doing
• Providing one-on-one coaching to student founders on strategy, implementation, and scaling—approximately two-thirds of your weekly schedule
• Analyzing student dashboards, venture updates, and academic performance data to identify blockers and determine priority actions
• Tracking academic standing and taking early action when attention or organizational skills deteriorate
• Designing and leading workshops that deliver tangible, practical learning outcomes
• Facilitating stand-ups, retrospectives, and team discussions that reinforce student commitment to their objectives
What You Won’t Be Doing
• Teaching traditional lessons or adhering to fixed syllabi (you enable experiential learning, not conventional instruction)
• Offering generalized advice or inspiration without establishing concrete next steps
• Handling administrative tasks such as scheduling, documentation, or registration processes
• Attending faculty committee meetings or navigating institutional procedures (your focus remains student-centered)
Business Coach Key Responsibilities
Guide student entrepreneurs toward building $1M-potential businesses while ensuring they maintain strong academic performance.
Basic Requirements
• Available to work on-site at Alpha High School in Austin, TX (we offer relocation support)
• Minimum 2 years of experience coaching or developing others (whether direct reports, colleagues, or clients), including a concrete example of a coaching engagement and its measurable results
• Professional background with ownership of critical outcomes or performance indicators, including at least one example showing $500,000+ in annual revenue impact
• At least 1 year of experience working with young people (students, junior professionals, or youth program participants) on initiatives, developmental objectives, or entrepreneurial projects
• Legal authorization to work in the United States
Nice-to-have Requirements
• Personal experience founding, co-founding, or running a startup or emerging business
• Track record as a Chief of Staff, program director, or high-impact individual contributor with end-to-end ownership of results
• Proficiency with AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Copilot) to enhance coaching preparation, data analysis, or stakeholder communication
• Experience in K-12 education, EdTech, or programs combining academic rigor with practical application (such as accelerators, experiential learning initiatives, or entrepreneurship programs)
