Director of Parent Advocacy

$200,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($100 USD/hour)

• Own the ongoing relationship with every family on campus—the evolving, deepening connection that ensures parents feel truly known, not merely attended to
• Identify concerns before they surface as formal conversations, and address them with the discretion and interpersonal skill that preserves trust
• Maintain visible presence where families gather: morning drop-off (7–9am), afternoon pick-up (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and select weekend activities
• Create a campus community with authentic depth—events, traditions, and moments that foster a sense of belonging to something families want to safeguard
• Develop parent champions naturally, delivering experiences so reliably excellent that referrals arise as the organic result
• Sustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha's AI-powered approach with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and intermittent doubts—not only at enrollment, but continuously throughout their campus experience
• Recognize when a family isn't aligned with the community and manage that situation 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 an environment where the framework is still being developed

• Overseeing enrollment—that falls under the Admissions Director's purview; your responsibility begins once families join and grows from that point forward
• Operating from behind a desk—your visibility within the community defines the role
• Maintaining standard 9–5 schedules—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening events are inherent to the position, not occasional demands
• 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 rewards authentic connection, not procedural adherence

Serve as the trusted relationship anchor for every family's Alpha experience. Maintain their confidence through challenging moments, cultivate a community where belonging feels meaningful, and establish the conditions under which satisfied families become active advocates.

• Currently reside within commuting distance of one of these campuses OR willing to relocate within 60 days (preference given to candidates with established local community ties): Denver, CO; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Tampa, FL; Boston, MA; Bethesda, MD; Charlotte, NC; Las Vegas, NV; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Dallas, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Park City, UT; Burlington, VT; Kirkland, WA; or Jackson Hole, WY
• 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 interpersonal fluency were as critical as competence
• Proven ability to maintain relationships through challenging situations with sophisticated families and preserve trust throughout
• Authentic presence and communication approach that builds confidence quickly with affluent, high-expectation families—not polished in a manner that feels rehearsed
• Direct familiarity with independent, private, or non-traditional education—through professional experience or as a parent—that provides genuine credibility when families question the approach
• Authentic conviction in AI-powered education and the capacity to sustain that belief genuinely 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

Exceptional candidates will possess at least one of the following:

• Established connections within the local affluent community that would provide an immediate, organic foundation on campus
• Private school or independent school background with documented success in family retention and community cultivation—beyond enrollment metrics alone
• Experience managing high-stakes family dynamics where your judgment and discretion were the reasons trust remained intact
• A talent for designing experiences—events, moments, environments—where participants feel connected to something they want to protect
• Prior startup or early-stage experience where you built from the ground up and maintained composure through rapid change
