Life Skills Curriculum Designer, Alpha Anywhere (Remote) - $100,000/year USD

This position does not involve traditional teaching. You will architect experiences that prompt adults to ask, "Wait… a kid did that?" If preset curriculums, drawn-out approval processes, or diminished expectations have left you frustrated, this is your opportunity to begin again. You will create ambitious, authentic Life Skills experiences in which productive struggle serves as the mechanism, and observable growth provides the evidence. Alpha Anywhere is a remote program supporting students ages 8–14 in developing life skills through live workshops and authentic challenges—not lectures or worksheets. This role is designed to transform a founder-led pilot into a scalable, faculty-delivered program. You will design, facilitate, and refine the complete cycle. You will launch workshops, develop independent challenges, execute feedback loops, and produce showcases that students present with pride. This is not a protected, closely-supervised position. You will be entrusted to solve problems, elevate standards, and document proven methods so others can build on your work. If a blank canvas energizes you, if you project confidence on camera, and if you believe children are capable of handling difficult tasks, this will be the most impactful work of your career. If you want your contributions measured by genuine transformation rather than compliance metrics, we want to hear from you. What You Will Be Doing • Lead live, student-driven workshops in which children perform the majority of talking and action, while you adjust dynamically • Create independent, standalone challenges featuring explicit mastery criteria and concrete outputs students can accomplish without extensive 1:1 guidance • Provide rapid, targeted feedback that clarifies "what do I do now?" and produces measurable progress at scale • Refine workshops based on evidence (results, observations, recordings, feedback) and record modifications so the program improves continuously • Organize showcases in which students present their work to families and display tangible growth and self-assurance What You Won’t Be Doing • Implement a pre-packaged curriculum or deliver lessons from scripts authored by others • Devote your time to grading, test preparation, or compliance-focused "check the box" assignments • Navigate multiple approval layers before testing an idea, launching an experiment, or releasing an iteration • Depend on physical presence to generate energy; you will forge connection and drive momentum through a screen Life Skills Curriculum Designer Key Responsibilities This role exists so Alpha Anywhere can scale a faculty-delivered Life Skills program that reliably produces "impossible" student outcomes and enables significant 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 About Alpha Anywhere Bring accelerated learning home with personalized academics and life skills.
