Regional Director of Family Engagement

$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 on campus—the continuous, evolving relationship that ensures parents feel known, not simply attended to
• Foresee concerns before they surface as conversations, and address them with the discretion and interpersonal skill that preserves trust
• Maintain visible presence where families gather: morning drop-off (7–9am), afternoon pick-up (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and occasional weekend programming
• Develop a campus community with authentic dimension—events, traditions, and connection points that give families a sense of belonging to something valuable
• Encourage parent advocates naturally, delivering experiences so reliably excellent that referrals emerge as the organic result
• Sustain the ongoing discussion about Alpha's AI-powered model with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and occasional doubts—not only at enrollment, but continuously throughout their campus experience
• Recognize when a family isn't the right match and manage that reality with the same care you bring to all interactions—safeguarding the community is integral to serving it
• Establish the systems and routines this role demands in a setting where the framework is still evolving

• Overseeing enrollment—that belongs to the Admissions Director; your work starts when families enroll and grows from that point forward
• Operating from behind a desk—your presence within the community defines the role
• Maintaining standard 9–5 hours—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening programming are inherent to the position, not occasional outliers
• Relying on administrative support, established procedures, or a complete team—you function with significant autonomy and create what's needed
• Viewing family relationships as accounts to be managed—this role rewards authentic connection, not procedural adherence

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

• Currently live within commuting distance of one of these campuses OR willing to relocate within 60 days (preference for candidates with existing community roots): 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-centered role serving high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families—private school admissions, luxury hospitality, philanthropy, or any context where discretion, warmth, and social fluency mattered as much as competence
• Proven capacity to sustain relationships through difficult moments with sophisticated families and come through with trust strengthened
• Authentic presence and communication approach that builds confidence quickly with affluent, high-expectation families—not polished in a manner that reads as rehearsed
• Direct familiarity with independent, private, or non-traditional education—through professional work or as a parent—that provides you with credible standing when families challenge the model
• Sincere belief in AI-powered education and the capacity to carry that conviction genuinely through years of parent relationships, not just the initial enrollment discussion
• Availability for flexible hours: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening events 2–3x/month, and occasional weekend activities

Exceptional candidates will have at least one of the following:

• Established relationships within the local affluent community that would provide you with an immediate, organic foothold on campus
• Private school or independent school background with a demonstrated record of family retention and community strength—not simply enrollment metrics
• Experience managing high-stakes family relationships where your judgment and discretion were the reason trust endured
• A talent for designing experiences—events, moments, environments—where people feel they're part of something worth protecting
• Prior startup or early-stage experience where you built from the ground up and remained steady when circumstances shifted rapidly
