Key responsibilities

Make people-first referrals the majority source of your region's enrollment growth.

Description

The families who choose Alpha rarely arrive from an ad. They arrive because another family sat across from them at dinner and said, "This changed my kid." That word-of-mouth engine is the thing you would own for an entire region: the dinners, the parent ambassadors, the mayor's office, the CEO who opens a door for a 14-year-old's first real project.

A normal week puts you in four rooms. You design and host the region's calendar of gatherings, from a 150-person open house to an eight-seat curated dinner, several a month. You recruit current parents who genuinely want to talk to prospective ones and match them, family to family. You build relationships with city officials and business leaders, turning them into venues, sources of support for new campus openings, and real opportunities for students. And you deliver on the Alpha Networks: introductions, expert masterclasses, internships, alumni welcomes, logged family by family.

There is no finished playbook. You write it while running it, and the systems you invent get picked up by peers building the same engine in other cities. As the region grows, the scoreboard gets harder, not easier: doors opened per family has to rise even as enrollment climbs. Success shows up as the share of growth arriving through real people vouching for Alpha, read on a multi-year trend rather than a quarterly report.

No degree is required, and no particular pedigree. An MBA, a consulting or wealth-management career, and a self-made run in community, hospitality, or advancement all count the same here. What we read is the track record of convening people and turning those relationships into value.

This role is on-site in one of the following regions: Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, or New York City. Expect evenings and weekends in rooms full of high-expectation parents, elected officials, and founders, plus regular local travel. You will be the most connected person in your city, and you will spend that on kids. If that trade sounds like the point rather than the cost, apply.

Candidate requirements

  • 5+ years building communities or relationship programs in K-12 education, membership, or a comparable network business, where growth came through people: referrals, members, congregations, chapters, alumni, or a client book, with numbers to show for it
  • Has personally designed and run 20+ gatherings across the full range, from intimate curated dinners to 100+ person open events, with budget ownership
  • Has opened and maintained relationships with public officials or business executives that produced concrete, nameable value
  • Disciplined CRM or relationship-tracking user; logging relationships, first-contact attribution, follow-ups, and actions is already a habit
  • Lives in, or would return or relocate to, one of these regions where you already have a deep local relationship network: Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, or New York City
  • Available to host on weekday evenings and weekends as a regular rhythm, with local travel
  • Authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship

MISSION

A school focused on student growth

Alpha is creating a school day with more room for students to grow. Students move through academics faster, but the real mission is much bigger than speed - giving them more time for confidence, life skills, curiosity, connection, and growth beyond the classroom.

  • Academics with momentum: Students master core learning in focused, personalized blocks.
  • More room for life skills: Freed-up time goes into workshops, projects, passions, and practical growth.
  • An authentic version of student success: Alpha cares about academic progress, human development, and students who love learning.

Alpha’s model is built for people who believe school can ask more of students while giving them more in return.

CULTURE

Work with people who raise the bar

Alpha doesn't believe in 'good enough.' The work attracts inspiring educators, operators, leaders, and visionaries who want to be excellent at what they do, and be surrounded by colleagues who know education can be better for everyone. 

  • High standards: Alpha looks for people who want to keep improving and reaching for more.
  • Growth mindset: The best team members are curious, coachable, and ready to learn fast.
  • Shared responsibility: Students benefit when every adult around them brings energy, judgment, and care.

For the right person, this kind of culture is deeply motivating. It's a place to do some of the most industry-changing work in education, with people who really care about the outcome.

Bring your talent to a team that raises the bar.

IMPACT

Use technology to unlock human connection

Alpha uses AI technology to create more space for what students need from people - guidance, encouragement, mentorship, motivation, and meaningful connection. The goal isn't to make education less human, or replace teachers with AI. It's to give talented people more room to do the work students remember.

  • More meaningful student connection: Adults spend less time delivering one-size-fits-all instruction and more time coaching growth.
  • More visible progress: Students get one-on-one support that helps them academically, socially, and personally.
  • More room to make a difference: Every role contributes to a school experience designed around student potential.

For educators, Alpha is where impact achieves its highest potential. For non-educators, it's a way to bring serious talent into work that changes real student lives.

Help students go further than school has ever let them.
