The families you serve don't lack resources. They need a trusted partner who understands what matters.
This position anchors that relationship. You will be the individual families turn to when questions arise, when clarity is needed, or when they want to discuss something significant. Not by obligation—but because trust has been established. Your role will define how families experience their child's education at one of five California locations: Palo Alto, Piedmont, downtown San Francisco, La Jolla, or South Bay (Los Angeles).
Alpha is constructing a fundamentally different school. Students finish core academics in two hours daily through AI-powered platforms, dedicating remaining time to public speaking, critical thinking, and real-world application. No traditional lectures. No unnecessary tasks. Top 1% results nationally. Our families are discerning, well-informed, and frequently cautious. They value clear reasoning, not prepared remarks.
You will lead that dialogue over the long term. Not only during enrollment, but throughout years of engagement. You will discuss AI with fluency—its mechanics, its limitations, and its significance—particularly with families who launch companies, fund them, or demand exactness in all matters. If you cannot sustain that caliber of dialogue, this position will prove demanding. If you can, it becomes among the most intellectually compelling roles in education.
This is not client servicing. This is sustained trust-building with ultra-high-net-worth families who demand discretion, discernment, and reliability. If that setting resonates—and you use AI daily to think, write, and work more effectively—you will see the opportunity clearly.
What you will be doing
- Take ownership of the complete relationship with every family at your campus, cultivating trust that strengthens over time
- Identify and address concerns proactively with discretion, efficiency, and thoughtful judgment
- Ensure strong visibility at critical touchpoints: morning arrival, afternoon departure, and thoughtfully planned parent gatherings
- Facilitate ongoing, substantive discussions about Alpha's AI-driven approach with highly analytical, technology-oriented families
- Create and iterate on community experiences that foster belonging, advocacy, and organic referrals
What you will NOT be doing
- Overseeing admissions pipelines or enrollment metrics—your work begins once families have joined
- Operating primarily from an office or relying solely on email—this demands in-person engagement
- Adhering to scripted responses or avoiding difficult questions about AI or educational philosophy
- Depending on established frameworks—you will develop systems where none currently exist
- Viewing families as transactions—this role values judgment over task execution
Key responsibilities
Develop and maintain deep, trust-based relationships with ultra-high-net-worth families, securing long-term retention, advocacy, and unwavering confidence in Alpha's AI-powered educational model.
Candidate requirements

- Demonstrated capability to manage complex, high-stakes relationships with discretion and reliable judgment
- Daily, active use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) with the capacity to articulate AI strengths, risks, and boundaries clearly
- Commanding presence and communication approach that builds credibility with highly educated, demanding families
- Knowledge of private or independent school environments, gained professionally or personally
- Flexible availability for early mornings, late afternoons, and occasional evening or weekend programming
