Director of Learning & Development, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

Crossover
Sandy Springs, GA
  • On-site at one of our locations: Bethesda, MD; Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; Fort Lauderdale, FL; Seattle, WA; or California (East Bay/San Francisco, Palo Alto, Santa Monica, Los Angeles)
  • $200,000 annual salary paid weekly. Health benefits from day one, HSA/FSA, 401(k) Roth available
  • Relocation assistance provided

  • Alpha is transforming the classroom experience. Our students don't passively absorb lectures—they advance through adaptive learning platforms, achieve mastery at twice the typical pace, and develop practical life competencies. Your role is to ensure the "3 Promises" are delivered to every student in your cohort and to develop our Guides so they can achieve the same.

    You will combine expert coaching ability with compelling presentation skills, transforming workshops, metrics-based team rallies, and focused feedback sessions into powerful development experiences. If you have broken performance records, transformed struggling teams into high achievers, or simply reject mediocrity, we want you to build excellence alongside us.

    Why Alpha Stands Out

    • Competitive compensation aligned with metro markets – elevated pay structure reflecting the cost of living in these high-demand regions
    • Strong benefits package & time off – full health coverage and ample PTO
    • Relocation support – offered to top-tier candidates
    • Development-focused environment – access to coaching, professional training, and advancement opportunities

    What You Will Be Doing

    • Developing and coaching Guides to deliver Alpha's workshops at world-class standards
    • Building Guide Playbooks that outline facilitation best practices, design of engaging learning experiences, and strategies for overcoming obstacles
    • Delivering consistent, actionable coaching to Guides that elevates student engagement and outcomes
    • Personally coaching a small student cohort to demonstrate expert mentorship and motivational techniques

    What You Won’t Be Doing

    • Creating traditional lesson plans – Guides support students working through adaptive platforms; your priority is equipping them to be outstanding motivators
    • Compromising on standards – when the passing benchmark is 100%, your role is to uphold that expectation
    • Running dull training sessions – you'll develop Guides through dynamic, energizing, participatory learning

    Director Of Learning & Development Key Responsibilities

    Develop Guides and mentor students so that every learner in your cohort enjoys school, progresses at 2× speed, and acquires essential life skills. Accept nothing less.

    Basic Requirements

    • Currently located in, or prepared to relocate for, on-site work at an Alpha Campus (Bethesda, MD; Boston, MA; Chicago, IL; Fort Lauderdale, FL; Seattle, WA; or CA: East Bay (San Francisco), Palo Alto, Santa Monica, or Los Angeles)
    • Hold a Bachelor's degree in any discipline.
    • Minimum 5 years of professional experience in education, learning and development, coaching, or related areas.
    • Proven track record of designing and executing innovative educational programs, curricula, or training solutions.
    • Exceptional leadership and coaching capabilities with a history of building, managing, and inspiring high-performing teams.
    • Background working with young people (ages 5-18) in educational or developmental settings.
    • Skilled in data analysis and leveraging metrics to inform decisions and drive ongoing improvement.
    • Authorized to work legally in the United States
