Vice President of Community Relations, Learning

Your entry into private school leadership was driven by a desire to influence how children are educated—not to manage fundraising efforts or mediate parent committees. A version of this role exists where the academic framework is safeguarded centrally, operational functions are handled by dedicated teams, and your time is devoted to what you do exceptionally well: engaging the families who have the greatest impact, converting them into champions, and serving as the definitive voice when difficult conversations arise.

You will lead the parent-facing side of Alpha in a single metropolitan area—Miami, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. Success will be measured by enrollment and advocacy: prospective ultra-high-net-worth families who commit, current UHNW families who re-enroll, refer others, and publicly endorse 2 Hour Learning, and a regional community in which Alpha maintains strong visibility. Approximately half your time will be externally focused—cultivating community partnerships, conducting information sessions, and holding one-on-one discussions with discerning parents who have engaged with every AI critique and expect to understand why this model delivers.

The remainder of your role serves as the escalation point. When an Associate Dean of Parents encounters a situation beyond their authority—a prominent family considering withdrawal, or a campus beginning to dilute the model to appease a vocal parent—you step in. You preserve both the family relationship and the integrity of the model. Then you create a documented precedent so the Associate Dean network can address similar issues independently in the future.

If you have led a private or independent K-12 institution, or you have built a career earning the confidence of UHNW families in a different sector, and you have been seeking a position where sound judgment and persuasive communication are the core outputs, this is that role.

• Developing regional visibility by establishing partnerships with family offices, exclusive clubs, and independent advisors, along with hosting workshops and community gatherings that drive inbound interest
• Overseeing the complete admissions process for affluent families: information sessions, CRM-tracked individual follow-ups, and enrollment decisions, including communicating when a family is not a good fit for the school
• Cultivating enrolled parents as vocal advocates for 2 Hour Learning via advocacy workshops and parent-to-parent networks, transforming current families into your most effective source of new prospects
• Handling escalations that others are unable to resolve: determining whether the issue lies with the model, campus implementation, or family alignment, engaging directly with the family, and then documenting the resolution for use across the network
• Maintaining strong connections with current families through consistent engagement, and surfacing the trends you observe to leadership

• Leading capital campaigns, donor cultivation, major gift solicitation, or any other fundraising activities
• Organizing PTAs, School Improvement Councils, parent committees, or focus groups that hold decision-making authority over school policy
• Overseeing facilities, finance, legal, vendors, technology, marketing, or community logistics—these functions are centralized, ensuring your time remains focused on relationships rather than operations
• Creating curriculum or providing instructional coaching to staff; the academic model is maintained and protected by central leadership
• Approving exceptions or modifications to the educational model in response to parent requests, regardless of the parent’s influence
• Merely logging and addressing complaints, or drafting newsletters and standard parent communications
• Resolving conflict through avoidance—diplomacy in this role requires delivering difficult messages and upholding standards
• Operating remotely; this is an on-site, full-time position representing the public face of the school, with evening and weekend community commitments
