Learning Experience Designer, Alpha Anywhere

Learning Experience Designer, Alpha Anywhere

This is not a teaching position. This is a design role focused on creating experiences that make adults stop and ask, "A child built that?" If you've been constrained by rigid curricula, bureaucratic approval chains, or watered-down expectations, this role offers a fresh start. You will craft ambitious, authentic Life Skills experiences where challenge is intentional and measurable progress is the outcome.

Alpha Anywhere is a remote program serving students ages 8–14, developing life skills through live workshops and authentic challenges—not passive lectures or worksheets. This role is designed to evolve a founder-led pilot into a scalable, faculty-run program. You will design, lead, and refine the entire cycle. You will launch workshops, build independent challenges, collect and act on feedback, and create showcases where students confidently present their accomplishments.

This is not a structured, supervised position. You will be empowered to solve problems, elevate standards, and capture what works so the system can grow. If you excel with autonomy, command attention on camera, and trust kids to rise to difficult tasks, this will be the most meaningful work you've done.

If you want impact measured by genuine transformation rather than compliance, let's talk.

What You Will Be Doing

• Lead live, student-centered workshops where participants drive the conversation and activity while you respond dynamically
• Create standalone challenges with explicit mastery standards and concrete deliverables that students can execute independently without intensive one-on-one guidance
• Provide rapid, actionable feedback that clarifies next steps and produces visible progress across many students
• Refine workshops based on data (results, observations, recordings, participant input) and capture improvements so the program evolves systematically
• Organize showcases in which students share their work with families, revealing clear growth and increased self-assurance

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Execute a pre-packaged curriculum or deliver lessons written by others
• Devote time to grading, standardized test preparation, or administrative "checkbox" tasks
• Navigate approval hierarchies before testing ideas, running experiments, or deploying changes
• Depend on physical presence to generate engagement; you will build rapport and energy through a screen

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Experience creating objective rubrics, exemplars, or mastery-based evaluation tools
• Track record of documenting and standardizing processes so others can replicate and refine your work
