• Mobilize parent advocates to generate referrals and expand community influence.

• Rely on formulaic sales scripts or impersonal outreach strategies.

• Allow organized parent coalitions to compromise or reshape Alpha’s educational approach.
• Operate remotely—this position is fully integrated into the parent journey and local community.

Lead enrollment growth and family retention at your campus by managing high‑trust parent relationships from initial inquiry through sustained satisfaction and advocacy.

• Currently reside within commuting distance of one of the campuses listed above, or be willing to relocate.
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship.
