Director of Enrollment

$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 sustained, evolving connection that ensures parents feel recognized, not merely serviced
• Identify potential concerns before they surface as conversations, and address them with discretion and social acuity that preserves trust
• Maintain a visible presence where families gather: morning drop-off (7–9am), afternoon pick-up (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and select weekend activities
• Develop a campus community with authentic depth—events, traditions, and touchpoints that foster a sense of belonging worth defending
• Nurture parent advocates through organic cultivation, delivering experiences of such consistent quality that referrals arise naturally
• Sustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha's AI-powered approach with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and moments of doubt—not only at enrollment, but continuously throughout their campus experience
• Recognize when a family may not be the right fit and manage that situation with the same poise you apply to all interactions—safeguarding the community is integral to serving it
• Establish the systems and routines this role demands in an environment where the framework is still being developed

• Overseeing enrollment—that falls under the Admissions Director's purview; your work commences once families enroll and deepens thereafter
• Remaining desk-bound—your physical presence within the community defines the role
• Adhering to standard 9–5 schedules—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening events are integral to the position, not occasional occurrences
• Relying on administrative infrastructure, established protocols, or a complete team—you function with significant autonomy and create what is needed
• Treating family relationships as transactional accounts—this role rewards authentic connection, not procedural adherence

Serve as the central trusted relationship in every family's Alpha experience. Maintain their confidence during challenging moments, cultivate a community where belonging feels intentional, and establish the conditions in which satisfied families become enthusiastic advocates.

• Currently live within commuting distance of one of these campuses OR willing to relocate within 60 days (preference for candidates with established local community ties): Scottsdale, AZ; Palo Alto, CA; Piedmont, CA; Lake Forest, CA; San Francisco, CA; Greenwich, CT; Bethesda, MD; New York City, NY; Austin, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX; or Kirkland, WA
• Authorized to work legally 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 comparable environments where discretion, warmth, and social fluency were equally important as technical competence
• Proven capacity to sustain relationships through challenging situations with sophisticated families and preserve trust throughout
• Authentic presence and communication approach that quickly establishes confidence with affluent, high-expectation families—not polished in a manner that feels rehearsed
• Personal exposure to independent, private, or non-traditional education—either professionally or as a parent—that provides you with credible perspective when families question the model
• Sincere belief in AI-powered education and the capability to convey that conviction authentically across years of parent relationships, not solely during the enrollment phase
• Available for flexible scheduling: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening events 2–3x/month, and occasional weekend activities

Exceptional candidates will possess at least one of the following:

• Established connections 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 history of family retention and community depth—not merely enrollment metrics
• Experience managing high-stakes family relationships where your judgment and discretion were the foundation of sustained trust
• A natural ability for designing experiences—events, moments, environments—where individuals feel they belong to something worth protecting
• Prior startup or early-stage experience where you built from the ground up and maintained composure amid rapid change
