Director of Parent Engagement & Advocacy, Alpha

Overview

• On-site (multi-city)
• W2
• $200K/yr

Alpha is not a conventional school. The role focuses on building trusted parent relationships, guiding families through their child’s education journey, and sustaining dialogue about the AI-driven model.

• Take full ownership of the relationship with every family on campus—the continuous, evolving relationship that ensures parents feel recognized, not merely attended to
• Identify concerns before they surface as conversations, and address them with discretion and interpersonal skill that preserves trust
• Maintain visible presence in family spaces: morning drop-off (7–9am), afternoon pick-up (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and select weekend activities
• Develop a campus community with authentic depth—events, rituals, and connection points that help families feel they’re part of something worth safeguarding
• Encourage parent advocacy naturally, delivering experiences of such consistent quality that referrals emerge as a matter of course
• Sustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha’s AI-driven model with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and occasional doubts—not only during enrollment, but across their entire campus experience
• Recognize when a family is not aligned with the community and manage that transition with the same care you apply to all interactions—protecting the community is integral to serving it
• Establish the systems and routines this role demands in a setting where the framework is still being developed

• Overseeing enrollment—that falls under the Admissions Director; your work starts once families commit and grows from there
• Remaining desk-bound—your physical presence within the community defines the role
• Adhering to standard 9–5 schedules—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening events are integral to the position
• Relying on administrative infrastructure, established procedures, or a complete team—you function with significant autonomy and create what’s necessary
• Approaching family relationships as transactional accounts—this role values authentic connection over procedural adherence

Serve as the central trusted relationship in every family’s Alpha experience. Maintain their confidence through challenging moments, foster a community where belonging feels intentional, and establish conditions in which satisfied families naturally become active advocates.

• Legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship
• 5+ years in a relationship-focused role serving high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families—private school admissions, luxury hospitality, philanthropy, or any setting where discretion, warmth, and social fluency were as critical as competence
• Proven capacity to maintain relationships through challenging moments with sophisticated families and preserve trust throughout
• Authentic presence and communication approach that builds confidence rapidly with affluent, high-expectation families—not polished in a manner that feels rehearsed
• Direct familiarity with independent, private, or non-traditional education—either professionally or as a parent—that provides genuine credibility when families challenge the model
• Sincere conviction in AI-powered education and the capacity to sustain that belief authentically across years of parent relationships, not solely during the enrollment phase
• Availability for non-standard hours: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening events 2–3x/month, and occasional weekend activities

• Established connections within the local affluent community that would provide an immediate, organic presence on campus
• Private school or independent school background with a demonstrated record of family retention and community engagement—not simply enrollment metrics
• Experience managing high-stakes family dynamics where judgment and discretion were the foundation of sustained trust
• A natural ability to design experiences—events, moments, environments—that make people feel they’re part of something worth defending
• Prior startup or early-stage experience where you built from the ground up and maintained composure through rapid change
