About the role
- Really nerd-out over student experience and achievement.
- Create life-changing student success stories against what some might consider to be insurmountable obstacles.
- Lose at least a little bit of sleep at night obsessing over your students.
- Motivate your students to buy-in to our proven systems, including making meaningful changes to current behaviors.
- Use your dynamic motivational skills to accomplish this through both large public speaking settings and one-on-one mentoring.
- Drive student performance company-wide through leading, inspiring, and holding accountable a large group of 300+ mentors nationwide.
- These mentors are the front-line of Altius, the instructors who deliver (or fail to deliver) on the Altius promise.
- Coordinate your efforts with our team of Regional Directors, who have primary responsibility for mentoring & achievement within their regions.
- Monitor, track, and report overall student progress as measured by established data points.
- Report on student progress to senior management and intervene in creative and aggressive ways to ensure elite performance at historical Altius levels.
- Improve average score of Altius clients on standardized exams (How our clients want to succeed)
- Improve level of program adherence/completion by current Altius students (The number one indicator of whether or not our clients will succeed.)
- Improve Reviews/Satisfaction Ratings from both our clients and our Tutor-Mentors (The natural outgrowth of our clients’ success.)
- Number and strength of inspirational client success stories (We live off these…like food…we seriously need them.)
Requirements
- 5+ years teaching or developing science or English curriculum at an accredited secondary (grades 9-12) or university institution.

- One full week off for both Thanksgiving & Christmas (The Altius office is closed or run by a skeleton PT crew to ensure you spend this important time with friends & family)
- Premium Medical & Dental Group Health Insurance
- 401k with guaranteed 3% annual contribution (This is not a match. We will fund your 401k even if you do not).
- Tuition Reimbursement for approved employee development classes, conferences, etc.
- Do work that matters. Change lives every. single. day.
- Be an integral part of a team driven to accomplish massive goals, such as revolutionizing the U.S. educational model.
- Work with people who are fiercely loyal to you—giving you every possible opportunity to succeed, including opportunities to fail, learn, and try again.
- We will never stop fighting for your success unless you do.
- New, modern work environment with flexible workspaces, soda fountain, and fully-stocked break room.
- Decidedly non-corporate, candid, open, family-like executive team and culture.
- Although we have grown to have an international presence, Altius is still a true family business.
