Coaching Manager, Gifted Education

• Full-time on-site in NYC or Miami (we provide relocation support)
• $200,000 annual salary, paid weekly
  
  

You're not looking for a safe teaching role. You want clear metrics, an uncompromising standard, and the mandate to uphold it. If you believe being "kind" outweighs driving results, this role isn't for you.

GT.School serves gifted students in grades K–6 (expanding to K–12) who use adaptive learning technology to progress 5–10x faster than conventional classrooms, then dedicate their afternoons to developing emotional intelligence and life skills alongside Guides who coach rather than instruct. Every student must achieve three outcomes: genuine enthusiasm for school, 5–10x learning velocity, and mastery of skills no traditional curriculum provides. You'll support a new campus launch by coaching students and the Guides responsible for those outcomes. This is a dual-role position: you'll own results for your cohort while coaching 2–4 Guides and maintaining a performance standard most institutions avoid.

Your day begins with data review. Coachbot analytics reveal which students are progressing and which require intervention. By mid-morning you're facilitating a life skills session: public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange—using the playbook but delivering the energy that captures students' attention. After lunch you observe a Guide's session, then debrief with three precise actions to refine their execution. On some days you'll lead a motivation session, leveraging leaderboard standings and school currency to drive engagement. You remain directly accountable for your own cohort while developing Guides capable of meeting your standard, and as they rise to it, your influence expands from one cohort to an entire campus.

You'll witness reserved children presenting with confidence to adults. You'll see students who once "hated school" requesting extra time. And you'll recognize that the standard you maintained made it possible. If you've built high-performing teams and are prepared to do so for gifted children: submit your application now.

What You Will Be Doing

• Developing 2–4 Guides through observation of live and recorded sessions, 1:1 coaching conversations, and monitored improvement objectives — with underperformance handled within days, not semesters
• Facilitating structured, high-energy life skills workshops (public speaking, concentration, feedback exchange) driven by playbook protocols and assessed for mastery via Test2Pass
• Analyzing Coachbot analytics and student progress metrics daily to pinpoint students requiring support, then providing direct intervention
• Conducting motivation sessions designed to propel 100% of students toward weekly learning targets using developmentally appropriate tools like school currency and performance leaderboards
• Directly mentoring your own student cohort, demonstrating the coaching standard you require from all Guides

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Creating lesson plans or developing curriculum — students advance through adaptive platforms; your role is to elevate the people who support them
• Delivering traditional classroom lectures — you're 80% facilitator, 20% content expert; if you're drawn to whiteboard instruction, look elsewhere
• Accepting "close enough" from any student — 100% mastery is non-negotiable, and compromising that standard isn't compassion
• Overseeing campus-wide logistics, financial planning, or parent communication — those responsibilities belong to the Campus Lead
