Admissions Director $200,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
Some parents think school should keep kids “a little unhappy.” Others uproot their lives for something better. This role is for the latter.
At 2 Hour Learning, we compress a full day of academics into two hours using AI-powered mastery platforms, freeing up the rest of the day for high-leverage life skills. No teachers, no busywork, no pretending a 6-hour worksheet parade is meaningful education. Kids here move at 2.6x the national learning speed. That’s not marketing — it’s MAP data.
You’ll be the one who helps parents see the difference. Not with brochures or vague philosophies, but with clear results, personal touch, and fast, responsive admissions work that turns interest into enrollment. This isn’t a job for someone who just wants to make families feel good. It’s for someone who knows how to sell a better product — and spot families who are the right fit to use it well.
You’ll own admissions for a single campus — either Scottsdale or San Francisco — with control of your pipeline, tours, events, and data. There’s no team to manage and no handoffs to cover your blind spots. Just you, owning the experience end to end. If that sounds daunting, it’s not for you. If it sounds thrilling, read on.
What you will be doing
- Responding to inquiries from prospective families within 4 hours — always personal, never generic.
- Hosting school tours and events that make our model tangible: how we teach 2x faster, why it works, and who it’s for.
- Managing the admissions pipeline: applications, shadow days, decision calls, and onboarding.
- Keeping HubSpot and SIS data accurate, timely, and analysis-ready for weekly reporting.
- Updating FAQs, SOPs, and admissions collateral based on real-time learnings — and testing new ideas to improve conversion.
What you will NOT be doing
- Managing a team — you are the process owner and primary executor.
- Playing nice with bureaucracy — this is a startup pace, not a school board crawl.
- Treating all applicants as equals — your job is to select well, not just fill seats.
- Apologizing for the model — some people will hate it. You’ll be great with the ones who get it.
- Working remotely — this is an on-campus role with occasional local event travel.
Key responsibilities
Own and optimize the admissions experience to convert qualified interest into enrolled families — and ensure every interaction reflects the speed, clarity, and rigor of the school itself.

- Proven success managing selective enrollment processes from first contact to final decision.
- Confidence and presence when speaking with high-net-worth families.

- Strong operational habits: CRM proficiency (especially HubSpot), time management, and attention to detail.
- Located in or willing to relocate to Scottsdale, AZ or San Francisco, CA.
- Eligible to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship.
Nice to have
- Background in selective private school admissions or elite college enrollment.
- Experience running events that influence high-stakes family decisions.
