Director of Parent Advocacy

$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}  ($100 USD/hour)

• Take full ownership of the relationship with every family on campus—the sustained, evolving connection that ensures parents feel genuinely known, not merely accommodated
• Identify concerns before they surface as conversations, and address them with the discretion and social fluency that preserves trust
• Maintain visible presence in family spaces: morning drop-off (7–9am), afternoon pick-up (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and occasional weekend activities
• Develop a campus community with authentic depth—events, traditions, and moments that give families the sense they belong to something worth safeguarding
• Foster parent advocates naturally, delivering experiences so reliably excellent that referrals emerge as the inevitable result
• Sustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha's AI-powered approach with families managing screen time considerations, skeptical relatives, and periods of doubt—not only during enrollment, but throughout their entire campus experience
• Recognize when a family isn't the right match and manage that reality with the same grace you apply to all interactions—protecting the community is integral to serving it
• Create the systems and rhythms this role demands in an environment where the framework is still being developed

• Overseeing enrollment—that falls under the Admissions Director's responsibility; your work commences when families join and deepens thereafter
• Operating from behind a desk—your presence within the community defines the role
• Maintaining standard 9–5 schedules—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening gatherings are integral to the position, not occasional occurrences
• Relying on administrative support, established protocols, or a complete team—you function with substantial autonomy and develop what you require
• Approaching family relationships as accounts to manage—this role rewards authentic connection, not procedural adherence

Serve as the trusted relationship anchoring every family's experience at Alpha. Maintain their confidence through challenging moments, cultivate a community where belonging feels earned, and establish the conditions under which satisfied families naturally become vocal advocates.

• Currently reside within commuting distance of one of these campuses OR willing to relocate within 60 days (preference given to candidates with established community ties): Denver, CO; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Tampa, FL; Boston, MA; Bethesda, MD; Charlotte, NC; Las Vegas, NV; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Dallas, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Park City, UT; Burlington, VT; Kirkland, WA; or Jackson Hole, WY
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship
• 5+ years in a relationship-oriented role serving high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families—private school admissions, luxury hospitality, philanthropy, or any setting where discretion, warmth, and social fluency were equally important as competence
• Proven capacity to maintain relationships through challenging moments with sophisticated families and emerge with trust strengthened
• Authentic presence and communication approach that builds confidence rapidly with affluent, high-expectation families—not polished in a way that appears rehearsed
• Personal experience with independent, private, or non-traditional education—either professionally or as a parent—that provides you genuine credibility when families challenge the model
• Authentic conviction in AI-powered education and the capacity to carry that belief consistently through years of parent relationships, not merely during the enrollment phase
• Availability for flexible scheduling: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening events 2–3x/month, and occasional weekend activities

Exceptional candidates will possess at least one of the following:

• Established relationships within the local affluent community that would provide you immediate, organic credibility on campus
• Private school or independent school background with a demonstrated history of family retention and community strength—not simply enrollment metrics
• Experience managing high-stakes family relationships where your judgment and discretion were the foundation of sustained trust
• A natural ability for designing experiences—events, moments, environments—where people feel they belong to something worth defending
• Prior startup or early-stage experience where you created from scratch and remained steady when circumstances shifted rapidly
