High School Elite Guide - Entrepreneurship

Description

• On-site in Austin TX (relocation support provided)
• $150000/year paid weekly. Day-one health benefits.

The most supportive thing you can do for a teenager building a company is refuse to let them settle. You believe high standards are not pressure they're proof you think the student can actually get there. If that feels obvious to you keep reading.

Your students are high schoolers building real companies with $1M potential. Not class projects. Not simulations. You'll spend 60-65% of your time in 1:1 coaching sessions: diagnosing where each founder is stuck identifying the highest-leverage move and holding them to a clear action plan. The other 35-40% splits between academic oversight and leading workshops that leave students with applied skills not just notes.

This is not a teaching job. You own student outcomes: venture progress academic standing and personal growth at the same time. You'll use dashboards business updates and academic data to coach with precision not intuition. A student's academics slip? You intervene before it becomes a crisis. A venture stalls? You name the real problem not the comfortable one.

You start by learning each student's venture their strengths and where they stall. Within months you're the person whose push they actually trust because you've been in the arena yourself. The reward is watching a 16-year-old who came in with an idea leave with a functioning business the discipline to run it and grades that keep every door open.

If you've been looking for a role where your operating experience directly shapes the next generation of founders apply now. If you need a fixed curriculum a predictable classroom or a job where "good effort" counts keep looking.

What you will be doing

• Coaching student founders 1:1 through strategy execution and growth decisions — roughly two-thirds of your week
• Using student dashboards business updates and academic data to diagnose progress and define next actions
• Monitoring academic performance and intervening early when focus or time management slips
• Preparing and facilitating workshops with clear applied-learning takeaways
• Leading stand-ups debriefs and group discussions that keep students accountable to their own goals

What you will NOT be doing

• Delivering lectures or following a pre-set curriculum (you facilitate applied learning not classroom instruction)
• Providing general mentorship or motivational talks without follow-through on action items
• Managing student administration — scheduling paperwork or enrollment logistics
• Sitting through faculty meetings or navigating school bureaucracy (your time stays focused on students)
