Director of Parent Engagement

$400,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($200 USD/hour)

• Cultivating local visibility by establishing partnerships with family offices, private membership organizations, and independent advisors, alongside hosting workshops and community gatherings that drive inbound interest
• Managing the full admissions cycle for affluent families: conducting information sessions, maintaining 1:1 follow-through in the CRM, and making enrollment decisions, which includes advising a family when this school is not the appropriate fit for their child
• Converting enrolled parents into vocal advocates for 2 Hour Learning by facilitating advocacy workshops and parent-to-parent networks, ensuring that current families become your most effective source of new inquiries
• Addressing escalations beyond the capacity of others: determining whether the issue stems from the model, campus implementation, or family alignment, engaging directly with the family, then documenting the resolution as precedent for the broader network
• Maintaining consistent engagement with current families through regular touchpoints, and communicating the trends you observe back to leadership

• Leading capital campaigns, donor cultivation efforts, major gift initiatives, or any other fundraising activities
• Organizing PTAs, School Improvement Councils, parent committees, or focus groups that hold decision-making authority over school policies
• Overseeing facilities, finance, legal matters, vendor relationships, technology, marketing, or community logistics — all centralized teams handle these functions, allowing your time to remain focused on relationships rather than operations
• Developing curriculum or providing instructional coaching to teaching staff on pedagogy; the academic framework is centrally owned and protected
• Granting exceptions or modifications to the educational model in response to parent requests, regardless of the parent's influence
• Merely logging and replying to complaints, or drafting newsletters and routine parent correspondence
• Resolving conflict through avoidance — diplomacy in this context means communicating difficult truths, not compromising standards
• Operating remotely; this is an on-site, full-time, public-facing position that requires participation in evening and weekend community events

Develop a metropolitan area where Alpha families serve as 2 Hour Learning's most vocal advocates — and where every parent challenge is resolved without compromising the integrity of the model.

• 7+ years in a position centered on high-stakes relationship management: head of school, fundraising leadership, enterprise sales, private wealth management, or client success
• Sustained, direct engagement with ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families, including households with annual incomes of $1M+ or families paying full tuition at elite private schools
• Background in a parent-facing or client-facing capacity at an independent or private K-12 school, or within UHNW client services
• At least one documented instance of personally guiding a sensitive situation to resolution: a parent crisis, a staff investigation, a media inquiry, or a regulatory engagement
• Demonstrated history of upholding a standard when influential stakeholders challenge it
• Current residence in the Miami, San Francisco, or Los Angeles metropolitan area, with availability to work on-site full-time, including evenings and weekends
• Authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship

• Current or recent Head of School — or senior leadership partner to the Head — at a top-tier independent K-12 institution (NAIS-member or equivalent caliber)
• Leadership experience across multiple campuses or sites (regional director, network superintendent, COO within a school network)
• UHNW client-services expertise transitioned into educational leadership: private wealth management, single-family office operations, or major-gifts development at an elite preparatory school or Ivy League institution
• Established connections among UHNW families or influential local institutions in Miami, San Francisco, or Los Angeles
• Crisis communication experience involving media, regulatory bodies, or board-level stakeholders
• Practical AI development experience — custom GPTs, agents, or internally built tools applied in a real operational setting
• An advanced degree (M.Ed., MBA, or doctorate) — typical for this profile, though not mandatory; no formal education credentials are required for this position
