Regional Director of Family Engagement   $200,000 USD/year

Description

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

Families who select Alpha rely on trusted advisors across every dimension of their lives. This is the role they haven't filled yet.

You will become the person they reach out to when uncertainty arises, when intuition signals 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 ahead of time—and you'll possess the judgment and composure to address whatever they bring with care, confidence, and apparent ease. Over time, you won't simply represent their child's school. You'll become woven into how they navigate this season of family life.

Trust of this kind isn't manufactured through procedure. It emerges from presence—continuous, reliable, unhurried. You'll be on-site during morning arrival and afternoon departure, at evening programs that carry weight, and in private conversations that never appear on a schedule. You'll cultivate a community families feel invested in protecting, where inclusion feels natural and referrals arise because the experience justifies them.

Alpha operates outside traditional schooling paradigms. Students complete core academics in two hours daily using AI-driven applications, then dedicate remaining time to public speaking, critical reasoning, and applied projects. No lectures. No filler assignments. Top 1% outcomes nationally. The families who enroll are investing in a vision they support—but conviction requires stewardship.

You'll sustain that dialogue with every family, through every question, for the duration of their child's enrollment. If championing an unconventional approach to discerning skeptics feels burdensome, this position isn't suitable. If it represents the most compelling conversation you could facilitate, continue reading.

What you will be doing

  • Take ownership of the relationship with each family on campus—the continuous, evolving connection that ensures parents feel recognized, not merely attended to
  • Identify potential issues before they surface as conversations, and address them with the tact and interpersonal skill that preserves confidence
  • Maintain visible presence in family spaces: morning arrival (7–9am), afternoon departure (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and select weekend programming
  • Develop a campus culture with authentic depth—programming, rituals, and interactions that foster a sense of belonging to something meaningful
  • Nurture parent champions naturally, delivering experiences of such consistent quality that referrals emerge as the logical result
  • Sustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha's AI-driven approach with families managing screen time considerations, skeptical relatives, and periodic uncertainty—not only during enrollment, but across their entire campus journey
  • Recognize when a family alignment isn't optimal and manage that situation with the same care you apply universally—safeguarding the community is integral to serving it
  • Establish the frameworks and routines this position demands in a setting where best practices are still emerging

What you will NOT be doing

  • Overseeing enrollment—that falls under the Admissions Director; your responsibility begins when families commit and deepens thereafter
  • Operating from behind a desk—your visibility within the community defines the role
  • Maintaining standard 9–5 schedules—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening programming are foundational, not occasional
  • Depending on administrative infrastructure, established protocols, or a complete team—you function with substantial independence and create what's necessary
  • Approaching family relationships as transactional accounts—this role rewards authentic engagement, not procedural adherence

Key responsibilities

Serve as the trusted 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 conditions in which 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 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, 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-focused 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 were as critical as 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—not polished in a manner that appears rehearsed
  • Direct familiarity with independent, private, or non-traditional education—through professional experience or as a parent—that provides genuine credibility when families challenge the model
  • Sincere conviction in AI-powered education and the capacity to carry that belief authentically across years of parent relationships, not solely 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

Nice to have

Exceptional candidates will have at least one of the following:

  • Established connections within the local affluent community that would provide an immediate, organic presence on campus
  • Private school or independent school background with demonstrated success in family retention and community building—beyond enrollment metrics alone
  • Experience managing high-stakes family dynamics where your judgment and discretion were the foundation of sustained trust
  • A talent for designing experiences—gatherings, moments, settings—where participants feel they're part of something worth defending
  • Prior startup or early-stage involvement where you built from the ground up and maintained composure amid rapid change

Work examples

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

That means mastering both the message and the model. You'll need to know exactly what makes Alpha different—and how to communicate that in ways that move people.
