Regional Director of Family Engagement, Alpha

"the Great Educational Equalizer"

- Philosopher Johnathan Bi, on Alpha School

Alpha is hiring.

• On-site (multiple cities - see Requirements section)
• W2 Employee
• $200K/yr

The families choosing Alpha have trusted advisors in every corner of their lives. This is the one they've been missing.

You’ll be the person they call when they're uncertain, when something feels off, or when they want to share a moment they know you'll understand. You'll know each family well enough to anticipate what they need before they ask—and you'll have the judgment and presence to handle what they bring you with discretion, warmth, and no visible effort. In time, you won't just be part of their child's school.

You'll be part of the fabric of how they experience this chapter of their family's life.

That kind of trust doesn't come from a process. It comes from presence - daily, consistent, unhurried. You'll be visible at morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up, at the evening events that matter, and in the one-on-one conversations that never make it onto a calendar. You'll build a community that families feel protective of, where belonging feels effortless and referrals happen because the experience earns them.

Alpha isn't a traditional school. Students finish core academics in two hours a day using AI-powered apps, then spend the rest of their time on public speaking, critical thinking, and real-world projects. No lectures. No busywork. Top 1% results nationwide. The families who choose it are paying for something they believe in—but belief needs tending.

You’ll carry that conversation with every family, through every doubt, for as long as their child is enrolled. If defending an unconventional model to sophisticated skeptics sounds like a burden, this role isn't for you. If it sounds like the most interesting conversation you could be having, keep reading.

• Own the relationship with every family on campus—the ongoing, deepening relationship that makes parents feel known, not just served
• Anticipate concerns before they become conversations, and resolve them with the discretion and social fluency that leaves trust intact
• Be visibly present where families are: morning drop-off (7-9am), afternoon pick-up (2-4pm), evening parent events, and occasional weekend activities
• Build a campus community with genuine texture - events, traditions, and touchpoints that make families feel they belong to something worth protecting
• Cultivate parent advocates organically, creating experiences so consistently excellent that referrals become the natural outcome
• Hold the ongoing conversation about Alpha's AI-powered model with families navigating screen time concerns, skeptical extended family, and moments of doubt—not just at enrollment, but throughout their time on campus
• Know when a family isn't the right fit and handle that with the same grace you bring to everything else—protecting the community is part of serving it
• Build the systems and rhythms this role requires in an environment where the playbook is still being written

• Enrollment management falls outside this role—that's the Admissions Director's domain; your work begins when families join and deepens from there
• Sitting behind a desk—your presence in the community is the role
• Working predictable 9-5 hours—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening events are part of the job, not exceptions to it
• Waiting for administrative support, established processes, or a full team—you operate with high autonomy and build what you need
• Treating family relationships as accounts to be managed—this role rewards genuine connection, not process compliance

Be the trusted relationship at the center of every…
