Description
Own the room. Design the system. Scale the experience.
We’re looking for an event leader who doesn’t just run logistics. This role is about building and owning a strategic events function that drives brand, community, and enrollment across one of the fastest-growing school networks in the U.S. You won’t be handed a playbook. You’ll create it, prove it in Austin, and scale it to 25+ markets.
At Alpha, we compress a full school day into two hours through adaptive learning, expert guides, and hands-on challenges. Families don’t just choose us for academics — they choose us because we challenge the status quo. Our events need to do the same: bold, relevant, unforgettable.
This role partners closely with marketing, admissions, and operations and reports to senior leadership. If you're strategic, fast-moving, and operationally sharp, this is your seat.
What you will be doing
- Building and evolving an events strategy that aligns with enrollment and brand goals
- Creating reusable playbooks for core events like TEDx-style showcases, info sessions, and Shadow Days
- Managing vendor sourcing, contracting, payments, and performance across all campuses
- Overseeing 5–10 concurrent events, including on-site problem-solving and cross-functional coordination
- Training and supporting staff and contractors to execute consistently and at scale
What you will NOT be doing
- Managing a system someone else built
- Waiting for step-by-step guidance
- Relying on bloated budgets or outsourced agencies
- Repeating cookie-cutter school events that feel like every other open house
Key responsibilities
Deliver a scalable, cost-effective event function that drives brand equity and enrollment across Alpha’s campuses.
Candidate requirements
- 5+ years of end-to-end event execution with budgets from $5K to $50K
- 10+ professionally executed events with measurable results
- Experience building systems or documentation from scratch
- Strong vendor negotiation and stakeholder communication skills
- Based in Austin or willing to relocate; 75%+ on-site presence required
- Authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in education, nonprofit, or startup events
- Familiarity with the Austin event and vendor landscape
- Budget management experience, including cost control and procurement
- Experience scaling event operations across multiple locations
