Director of Community Engagement   $200,000 USD/year

Description

LOCATION NOTE: This is an on-site position based at one of the campuses listed below, with local travel required.

If leading families toward a fundamentally reimagined approach to education resonates as your purpose, this role places you at the heart of that transformation.

Alpha operates outside the boundaries of conventional schooling. Students complete core academic work in two hours daily through AI-driven applications. The remainder of their day focuses on real-world competencies—public speaking, critical reasoning, collaborative challenges, and meaningful projects. No traditional lectures. No unnecessary assignments. Only accelerated mastery and performance in the top 1% nationally. This model requires a distinct form of family partnership—and that responsibility falls to you.

You will represent your campus, spearheading efforts to expand enrollment, cultivate trust, and foster advocacy. You'll facilitate impactful information sessions, develop meaningful community relationships, and drive interest toward waitlist growth. Beyond that, you'll serve as the central contact for families throughout their entire Alpha experience—resolving questions, strengthening loyalty, and empowering parents to become vocal advocates for the model.

This is a role defined by trust and autonomy, with tangible accountability. You'll be stationed at a single campus, present on-site the majority of the time, producing measurable results—not merely executing a playbook. If you're convinced that most traditional schools are underserving students—and that a superior alternative exists—this is your opportunity to demonstrate it.

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 activity. You'll facilitate high-trust dialogues, lead conversion-focused events, and build commitment one family at a time. That requires fluency in both the messaging and the model itself. You'll need comprehensive knowledge of what distinguishes Alpha—and how to articulate that in ways that inspire action.
