Director of Parent Advocacy   $200,000 USD/year

Description

  • On-site (multiple locations - refer to Requirements) · W2 Employee · $200K annually

The families who select Alpha rely on trusted advisors across every dimension of their lives. This is the advisor they haven't had—until now.

You will be the individual they reach out to when uncertainty arises, when instincts signal concern, or when they want to share a milestone they know you'll appreciate. You'll understand each family deeply enough to sense their needs before articulation—and you'll possess the judgment and composure to address what they bring with discretion, warmth, and apparent ease. Over time, you won't simply be affiliated with their child's education. You'll be woven into the way they navigate this phase of their family's journey.

Trust of this caliber doesn't emerge from systems. It emerges from presence—daily, reliable, unrushed. You'll be accessible during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal, at evening gatherings that hold significance, and in one-on-one exchanges that rarely appear on any schedule. You'll cultivate a community families feel invested in protecting, where inclusion feels organic and referrals arise because the experience merits them.

Alpha operates outside conventional school frameworks. Students complete core academics in two hours daily using AI-powered platforms, then dedicate remaining time to public speaking, critical thinking, and applied projects. No traditional lectures. No filler assignments. Top 1% outcomes nationally. The families selecting this path are investing in something they value deeply—but conviction requires nurturing.

You'll sustain that dialogue with every family, through every uncertainty, for the duration of their enrollment. If advocating for a non-traditional model to discerning skeptics feels burdensome, this position won't suit you. If it represents the most compelling conversation you could engage in, continue reading.

What you will be doing

  • Own the relationship trajectory with every campus family—the sustained, evolving relationship that ensures parents feel recognized, not simply serviced
  • Identify concerns before they surface as conversations, and address them with the discretion and interpersonal sophistication that preserves trust
  • Maintain visible presence where families gather: morning arrival (7–9am), afternoon dismissal (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and select weekend activities
  • Develop a campus community with authentic depth—events, rituals, and connection points that make families feel they're part of something worthy of protection
  • Nurture parent champions organically, delivering experiences so reliably exceptional that referrals emerge as natural byproducts
  • Sustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha's AI-powered approach with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and moments of uncertainty—not only during enrollment, but across their entire campus experience
  • Recognize when a family misaligns with the community and manage that reality with the same thoughtfulness you apply universally—safeguarding the community is integral to serving it
  • Create the structures and cadences this role demands in a setting where the framework is still evolving

What you will NOT be doing

  • Overseeing enrollment—that belongs to the Admissions Director; your role commences when families join and intensifies thereafter
  • Operating from behind a desk—your community presence defines the position
  • Maintaining standard 9–5 schedules—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening commitments are intrinsic to the role, not anomalies
  • Relying on administrative infrastructure, established protocols, or complete staffing—you function with significant autonomy and construct what's necessary
  • Approaching family relationships as transactional accounts—this position rewards authentic connection, not procedural adherence

Key responsibilities

Serve as the trusted relationship anchor for every family's Alpha experience. Maintain their confidence through challenging moments, build a community where belonging feels meaningful, and establish conditions where satisfied families naturally become active advocates.

Candidate requirements

  • Currently reside within commuting distance of one of these campuses OR willing to relocate within 60 days (preference given to candidates with established local 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 (Carrollton), TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston (The Woodlands), 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-focused 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—polished but never rehearsed
  • Personal connection to independent, private, or non-traditional education—through professional experience or as a parent—that provides genuine credibility when families challenge the model
  • Authentic conviction in AI-powered education and capacity to sustain that belief genuinely across years of parent relationships, extending well beyond initial enrollment discussions
  • Availability for non-traditional hours: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening events 2–3x monthly, and periodic weekend activities

Nice to have

Exceptional candidates will possess at least one of the following:

  • Established connections within the local affluent community that would provide immediate, organic credibility on campus
  • Private school or independent school background with demonstrated success in family retention and community building—beyond enrollment metrics
  • Experience managing high-stakes family dynamics where your judgment and discretion were the foundation of sustained trust
  • Natural talent for designing experiences—events, moments, settings—that make people feel they're part of something worth safeguarding
  • Prior startup or early-stage experience where you built from the ground up and remained steady amid rapid change

Work examples

This isn't conventional schooling, and this isn't conventional parent engagement.

At Alpha, parent advocacy functions as a growth driver, not a support mechanism. You'll be facilitating high-trust dialogues, orchestrating events that convert, and building conviction one family at a time. That requires mastery of both the narrative and the model. You'll need to understand precisely what distinguishes Alpha—and how to articulate that in ways that resonate and persuade.
