Director of Community 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 every family relationship on campus—the evolving, deepening connection that ensures parents feel genuinely understood, not merely accommodated
• Identify potential concerns before they surface as issues, and address them with the discretion and interpersonal skill that preserves confidence
• Maintain visible availability where families gather: morning arrivals (7–9am), afternoon departures (2–4pm), evening parent functions, and select weekend programming
• Develop a campus culture with authentic depth—programming, rituals, and connection points that give families a sense of belonging to something they want to defend
• Foster parent champions naturally, delivering experiences so reliably outstanding that advocacy emerges organically
• Sustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha's AI-driven approach with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and periods of uncertainty—not only during initial enrollment but continuously throughout their campus experience
• Recognize when a family alignment isn't optimal and manage that reality with the same care you apply universally—safeguarding community integrity is integral to service excellence
• Establish the frameworks and routines this position demands in a setting where standard operating procedures are still emerging

• Overseeing enrollment processes—that falls to the Admissions Director; your responsibility begins once families commit and deepens continuously
• Operating from behind a desk—your physical presence within the community defines this role
• Maintaining standard 9–5 schedules—early morning availability, late afternoon presence, and evening programming are integral, not occasional
• Relying on administrative infrastructure, established workflows, or a complete team—you function with significant autonomy and create what's necessary
• Approaching family relationships as transactional accounts—this position values authentic connection over procedural adherence

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

• Currently living within commuting range of one of these campuses OR prepared to relocate within 60 days (priority given to 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, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Park City, UT; Burlington, VT; Kirkland, WA; or Jackson Hole, WY
• Authorized to work in the U.S. without requiring sponsorship
• 5+ years in a client-facing role working with high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families—environments such as private school admissions, luxury service sectors, philanthropic organizations, or any context where discretion, interpersonal warmth, and social acuity were as critical as technical competence
• Proven capacity to maintain relationships through challenging circumstances 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 models—through professional experience or as a parent—that provides legitimate credibility when families challenge the approach
• Authentic conviction in AI-powered education and capacity to sustain that belief genuinely across years of parent relationships, extending far beyond initial enrollment discussions
• Flexibility for non-standard hours: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening functions 2–3x monthly, and periodic weekend activities

Outstanding candidates will demonstrate 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 documented success in family retention and community building—beyond enrollment metrics alone
• Background managing high-stakes family dynamics where your discretion and judgment were the foundation of sustained trust
• A natural ability to design experiences—programs, occasions, settings—that make people feel part of something they want to protect
• Prior startup or early-stage organizational experience where you built from the ground up and maintained composure through rapid change
