Description
You will be Alpha's first point of contact. For the majority of families, you shape whether they envision their child flourishing here. For external audiences, you exemplify what education's future looks like in practice.
Our Austin flagship K-8 campus requires someone capable of establishing the benchmark for a growing network. This campus welcomes prospective families, education leaders, media representatives, investors, international delegations, and corporate partners seeking direct experience with Alpha. Each engagement must leave visitors certain they have witnessed something exceptional.
Alpha has redefined the school experience. Students achieve academic mastery in only two hours daily through adaptive technology, then dedicate remaining time to developing practical skills via workshops, projects, and real-world experiences. As expansion continues, our flagship campus functions as the reference point for all new locations. The experience you build here will influence not only Austin enrollment but also global perceptions of Alpha. This position demands outstanding hospitality, operational precision, and executive-level presence. You will support families navigating a critical decision for their child while representing Alpha before distinguished international visitors. You understand how to ensure every guest feels valued, every tour feels tailored, and every dialogue underscores Alpha's distinctive approach.
If building substantive relationships energizes you, you excel representing institutions held to exceptional standards, and you seek work that shapes education's trajectory, we would welcome the conversation.
What you will be doing
• Lead outstanding admissions experiences through personalized tours, information sessions, and enrollment discussions that enable families to choose Alpha with confidence.
• Act as ambassador for Alpha's flagship campus by hosting media, international delegations, corporate partners, investors, education leaders, and other high-profile guests.
• Develop trusted relationships with prospective families by understanding their objectives and illustrating how Alpha's approach enables students to achieve their full potential.
• Refine the flagship admissions experience continuously by identifying enhancement opportunities at every touchpoint and creating best practices that scale across the network.
• Collaborate closely with campus leadership, marketing, and admissions teams to ensure visitor experiences consistently reflect Alpha's dedication to excellence.
What you will NOT be doing
• Processing applications from behind a desk with limited contact. This role is highly visible and relationship-centered.
• Adhering to inflexible tour scripts or transactional enrollment methods. Every family and visitor warrants a personalized, thoughtful experience.
• Spending most of your time on administrative tasks rather than engaging prospective families and distinguished visitors.
• Representing a single campus. Your contributions will shape the admissions benchmark for Alpha's expanding network.
Key responsibilities
Deliver exceptional admissions and visitor experiences that position Alpha's flagship campus as the benchmark for educational excellence, driving enrollment while demonstrating the future of learning to families and influential visitors worldwide.
Candidate requirements
• 5+ years providing premium, personalized service in settings where service quality directly influences brand reputation (education, luxury hospitality, premium membership, high-value services, or owner-operated businesses).
• Proven ownership of a complete admissions, enrollment, or consultative client journey, encompassing application, needs assessment, solution presentation, commitment, and onboarding.
• Proven ownership of enrollment growth or an equivalent high-value customer-acquisition objective, including proactive lead generation, local market or community partnership development, and measurable conversion or growth results.
• Experience managing multiple concurrent prospective clients or families through various pipeline stages using a CRM, database, or other documented tracking system.
• Capacity to offer concrete examples of consultative decision-making, including advising against your product or service when it was not the appropriate fit.
• Experience conducting in-person tours, presentations, consultations, or hosted experiences for prospective families, senior executives, VIP clients, or other high-profile visitors.
• Experience creating professional written communications for executives, high-net-worth clients, or other senior stakeholders.
• Willingness to live in or relocate within 60 days to Austin, TX.
• Authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.
Nice to have
• Experience leading admissions, enrollment, guest experience, or customer success functions in a high-growth organization.
• Experience hosting executive-level visitors, media, VIP clients, or public-facing events.
• Experience enhancing customer or visitor journeys through data, feedback, and continuous improvement.
• Familiarity with CRM systems and admissions or customer relationship platforms.
