Director of Parent Engagement & 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 ownership of the relationship with every family at your campus—the continuous, evolving connection that ensures parents feel recognized, not merely accommodated
• Identify potential concerns before they surface, resolving them with the discretion and interpersonal skill that preserves and strengthens trust
• Maintain visible presence where families gather: morning arrival (7–9am), afternoon departure (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and select weekend occasions
• Create a campus culture with authentic depth—programming, rituals, and meaningful moments that foster a sense of belonging to something families want to safeguard
• Develop parent champions naturally, delivering experiences of such consistent quality that referrals emerge as the organic result
• Sustain the dialogue about Alpha's AI-powered approach with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and periodic uncertainty—not only during admission, but continuously throughout their campus tenure
• Recognize when a family doesn't align with the community and address that reality with the same care you apply elsewhere—preserving the community is integral to serving it well
• Establish the frameworks and routines this position demands in a setting where the blueprint is still taking shape

• Overseeing enrollment—that responsibility belongs to the Admissions Director; your work commences once families enroll and builds from there
• Operating from behind a desk—your physical presence within the community defines the role
• Adhering to standard 9–5 schedules—early morning hours, late afternoon availability, and evening commitments are fundamental to the position, not occasional exceptions
• Depending on administrative infrastructure, established procedures, or a complete support team—you function with substantial independence and create what's necessary
• Approaching family relationships as transactional accounts—this role values authentic relationship-building over procedural adherence

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

• Authorized to work in the U.S. without requiring sponsorship
• 5+ years in a client-facing role serving high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families—private school admissions, premium hospitality, philanthropic advising, or any setting where discretion, warmth, and interpersonal sophistication were equally important as technical competence
• Proven capacity to maintain relationships through challenging situations with sophisticated families and preserve trust throughout
• Authentic presence and communication approach that builds confidence rapidly with affluent, high-expectation families—credible without appearing rehearsed
• Direct familiarity with independent, private, or alternative education—through professional experience or as a parent—that provides you genuine credibility when families question the approach
• Sincere conviction in AI-powered education and the capacity to sustain that belief authentically across years of parent relationships, extending well beyond initial enrollment discussions
• Availability for non-standard hours: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening commitments 2–3 times monthly, and occasional weekend programming

Outstanding candidates will demonstrate at least one of the following:

• Established connections within the local affluent community that would provide immediate, authentic integration on campus
• Private or independent school background with demonstrated success in family retention and community building—beyond simple enrollment metrics
• Track record managing high-stakes family dynamics where your discretion and judgment were the foundation of sustained trust
• Natural talent for designing experiences—programs, occasions, settings—that create a sense of belonging to something people want to protect
• Prior startup or early-stage organizational experience where you built from the ground up and maintained composure amid rapid change
