You are not being hired to lecture. You are being hired to create experiences that prompt adults to ask, "A kid accomplished that?" If you have felt constrained by rigid syllabi, delayed decision-making, or diminished expectations, this opportunity represents a fresh start. You will construct ambitious, authentic Life Skills experiences where constructive challenge is intentional, and measurable progress is the outcome.

Alpha Anywhere is a remote program supporting students ages 8–14 in developing life skills through interactive workshops and authentic challenges—not passive instruction and rote exercises. This position was created to transform a founder-led pilot into a scalable, faculty-executed program. You will design, facilitate, and refine the complete cycle. You will launch workshops, develop independent challenges, implement feedback systems, and produce showcases that students are genuinely proud to share.

This is not a structured, closely-supervised position. You will be empowered to solve problems, elevate standards, and capture what succeeds so others can build on it. If you excel with autonomy, possess compelling virtual facilitation skills, and trust that young people can rise to demanding expectations, you will produce your most impactful work here.

If you want your contributions assessed by genuine transformation rather than compliance metrics, we should talk.

What You Will Be Doing

• Lead live, participant-driven workshops where students carry the conversation and activity, while you respond dynamically
• Create independent, standalone challenges featuring explicit mastery standards and concrete deliverables students can complete with minimal one-on-one assistance
• Provide rapid, actionable feedback that clarifies "what is my next step?" and produces quantifiable improvement across the cohort
• Refine workshops based on data (results, observations, session recordings, participant input) and record modifications so the program strengthens continuously
• Organize showcases where students present their accomplishments to families and exhibit observable growth and self-assurance

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Execute a prefabricated curriculum or deliver instruction from materials authored by others
• Dedicate your time to grading, standardized test preparation, or compliance-oriented administrative tasks
• Navigate multiple approval stages before testing a concept, conducting an experiment, or implementing a change
• Depend on physical presence to generate engagement; you will build rapport and drive momentum through a screen

Workshop Designer Key Responsibilities
This role exists so Alpha Anywhere can scale a faculty-delivered Life Skills program that consistently produces "impossible" student outcomes and supports major enrollment growth without founder-led delivery.

Basic Requirements

• Experience having designed and delivered at least one experience end-to-end (program, game, camp, training, performance, or similar)
• Experience working directly with students ages 8–14 in any capacity
• Strong virtual presence with clear communication and the ability to build connection on camera
• Ability to work 40 hours/week with 70%+ of your time available between 8am–8pm CT, Monday–Friday
• Reliable internet and a professional, stable setup for virtual facilitation
• Demonstrated ability to build in ambiguity, iterate fast, and hold a high bar without lowering standards when students struggle

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Background in experiential design (games, theater, youth programs, coaching, or startup-style building)
• Experience designing objective rubrics, exemplars, or mastery-based assessments
• Proven habit of documenting and systemizing your work so others can repeat and improve it
