Director of Admissions and 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 relationships with every family at your campus—the sustained, evolving relationships that help parents feel recognized, not merely accommodated
• Identify concerns before they surface as formal discussions, and address them with the discretion and interpersonal skill that preserves trust
• Maintain visible presence in family-facing moments: morning arrivals (7–9am), afternoon departures (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and select weekend programming
• Develop a campus community with authentic character—programs, traditions, and touchpoints that give families a sense they're part of something worth safeguarding
• Foster parent advocates naturally, by delivering experiences so reliably excellent that referrals emerge as an organic result
• Sustain the dialogue about Alpha's AI-powered approach with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and occasional uncertainty—not only during enrollment, but throughout their entire campus experience
• Recognize when a family isn't aligned with the community and manage that realization with the same care you apply to everything else—preserving the community is an act of service
• Establish the systems and routines this role demands in a setting where the framework is still being developed

• Overseeing enrollment—that responsibility belongs to the Admissions Director; your work begins once families join and grows deeper over time
• Operating from behind a desk—your physical presence within the community defines the role
• Adhering to predictable 9–5 schedules—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening programming are integral to the position, not occasional exceptions
• Relying on administrative infrastructure, established workflows, or a complete team—you function with significant autonomy and create what you require
• Approaching family relationships as accounts requiring management—this role rewards authentic connection, not procedural adherence

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

• 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 (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-focused role serving high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families—private school admissions, luxury hospitality, philanthropy, or any setting where discretion, warmth, and interpersonal fluency were as critical as competence
• Proven capacity to maintain relationships through challenging moments with sophisticated families and preserve trust throughout
• Authentic presence and communication approach that builds confidence rapidly with affluent, high-expectation families—not refined in a manner that appears rehearsed
• Direct familiarity with independent, private, or non-traditional education—either professionally or as a parent—that provides you credible footing when families challenge the model
• Sincere conviction in AI-powered education and the capacity to sustain that belief authentically across years of parent relationships, not solely the enrollment phase
• Availability for variable 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 immediate, organic credibility on campus
• Private school or independent school background with a demonstrated history of family retention and community cohesion—not simply enrollment metrics
• Experience managing high-stakes family relationships where your judgment and discretion were the foundation for sustained trust
• A natural aptitude for designing experiences—events, moments, settings—where people feel connected to something worth defending
• Prior startup or early-stage experience where you built from the ground up and remained steady through rapid change
