Head of School, Alpha

• Building local awareness through partnerships with family offices, private clubs, and independent advisors, plus workshops and community events that generate inbound interest
• Running admissions for wealthy families end to end: info sessions, 1:1 follow-up in the CRM, and the enrollment decision, including telling a family this is not the right school for their child
• Turning enrolled parents into public champions of 2 Hour Learning through advocacy workshops and parent-to-parent networks, so enrolled families become your strongest source of new inquiries
• Resolving the escalations others cannot: diagnosing whether the problem is the model, campus execution, or family fit, engaging the family directly, then writing up the precedent for the rest of the network
• Keeping current families close through regular touchpoints, and reporting the patterns you hear back to leadership

• Capital campaigns, donor cultivation, major gifts, and every other form of fundraising are off your plate entirely.
• Convening PTAs, School Improvement Councils, parent committees, or focus groups that get a vote on school policy
• Managing facilities, finance, legal, vendors, technology, marketing, or community logistics — centralized teams own all of this, so your week stays on relationships, not operations
• Designing curriculum or coaching instructional staff on pedagogy; the academic model is owned and protected centrally
• Making exceptions or customizations to the educational model to satisfy a parent request, however influential the parent
• Simply logging and responding to complaints, or writing newsletters and routine parent communications
• Defusing conflict by avoiding it — diplomacy here means delivering hard messages, not softening standards
• Working behind the scenes; this is an on-site, full-time, face‑of‑the‑school seat that includes evening and weekend community events

Build a metro where Alpha families are 2 Hour Learning’s loudest advocates — and where no parent crisis is resolved by compromising the model.

• 7+ years leading high‑stakes relationships in private or independent K‑12 education, fundraising or major gifts, enterprise sales, client success, or private wealth management
• 2+ years working directly and regularly with ultra‑high‑net‑worth or similarly high‑expectation families, such as full‑pay families at an elite private school, family‑office clients, wealth‑management clients, or major donors
• Proven ownership of measurable enrollment, retention, advocacy, sales, or client outcomes, including resolving sensitive situations and holding firm standards when influential people push back
• Polished executive communication, consultative judgment, and genuine conviction in Alpha's accelerated learning model, with the confidence to represent it to skeptical parents and public stakeholders
• Living in the Miami, San Francisco, or Los Angeles metro area; authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship; and available for full‑time on‑site work, including 2 to 4 evening or weekend events per month

• Sitting or recent Head of School — or the Head’s right hand — at a top‑tier independent K‑12 (NAIS‑member or peer tier)
• Multi‑campus or multi‑site school leadership experience (regional director, network superintendent, COO of a school network)
• An UHNW client‑services background translated into school leadership: private wealth management, single‑family office, or major‑gifts development at an elite prep or Ivy
• An existing network among UHNW families or influential local organizations in Miami, San Francisco, or Los Angeles
• Crisis communication experience involving press, regulators, or board‑level stakeholders
