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)

• Own the relationship with every enrolled family—the evolving, deepening connection that ensures parents feel understood, not merely attended to
• Surface potential concerns before they escalate, addressing them with the discretion and interpersonal sophistication that preserves trust
• Maintain visible presence where families gather: morning arrival (7–9am), afternoon departure (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and select weekend programming
• Develop a campus community with authentic depth—rituals, events, and interactions that foster a sense of belonging to something families want to preserve
• Foster parent champions through organic relationship-building, delivering experiences of such consistent quality that referrals emerge naturally
• Sustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha's AI-powered approach with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and periodic uncertainty—not only during enrollment, but across their entire campus experience
• Recognize when a family is misaligned with the community and manage that situation with the same care you bring to all interactions—safeguarding the community is integral to serving it
• Establish the infrastructure and cadence this position demands in a setting where the operating manual is still under development

• Overseeing enrollment processes—that responsibility belongs to the Admissions Director; your role commences once families join and expands from that point
• Operating from behind a desk—your visibility within the community defines the role
• Maintaining standard 9–5 availability—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening programming are integral to the position, not occasional exceptions
• Relying on administrative infrastructure, established protocols, or a complete team—you will function with significant autonomy and create what is needed
• Approaching family relationships as transactional accounts—this role rewards authentic connection, not procedural adherence

Serve as the trusted relationship anchor at the heart of every family's Alpha experience. Maintain their confidence through challenging moments, cultivate a community where belonging feels intentional, and establish the conditions through which satisfied families naturally become vocal proponents.

• Currently reside within commuting distance of one of these campuses OR willing to relocate within 60 days (preference for candidates with established local 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 (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 capacity serving high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families—private school admissions, premium hospitality, philanthropic advisory, or any setting where discretion, interpersonal warmth, and social acuity were as critical as technical competence
• Proven capacity to navigate difficult moments with sophisticated families while maintaining and strengthening trust
• Authentic presence and communication approach that builds confidence rapidly with affluent, exacting families—polished without appearing rehearsed
• Direct familiarity with independent, private, or alternative education models—through professional experience or as a parent—that provides credible grounding when families question the approach
• Sincere conviction in AI-powered education and the capacity to sustain that belief authentically across years of family engagement, not merely through initial enrollment
• Availability for non-standard hours: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening events 2–3x monthly, and occasional weekend activities

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 or independent school background with demonstrated success in family retention and community cultivation—beyond enrollment metrics alone
• Background managing high-stakes family dynamics where your discretion and judgment were the foundation of sustained trust
• Talent for designing experiences—gatherings, moments, environments—that make participants feel they belong to something worth defending
• Prior startup or early-stage organizational experience where you built systems from the ground up and maintained composure through rapid change
