Director of Parent Engagement & 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)

• Take ownership of the relationship with every family on campus—the sustained, evolving connection that ensures parents feel recognized, not merely accommodated
• Identify concerns before they surface as conversations, and address them with the discretion and interpersonal skill that preserves confidence
• Maintain visible presence where families gather: morning drop-off (7–9am), afternoon pick-up (2–4pm), evening parent events, and select weekend activities
• Develop a campus community with authentic depth—gatherings, traditions, and interactions that foster a sense of belonging to something families want to safeguard
• Encourage parent advocates naturally, delivering experiences of such consistent quality that referrals emerge as a matter of course
• Sustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha's AI-powered approach with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and occasional uncertainty—not only during enrollment, but throughout their tenure on campus
• Recognize when a family may not align with the community and manage that reality with the same care you apply to all interactions—preserving the community serves everyone
• Establish the systems and routines this role demands in a setting where the framework is still emerging

• Overseeing enrollment—that falls to the Admissions Director; your responsibility starts when families arrive and grows from that point
• Operating from a desk—your presence within the community defines the role
• Adhering to standard 9–5 hours—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening events are integral to the position, not occasional outliers
• Relying on administrative infrastructure, established protocols, 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, not procedural adherence

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

• Currently live within commuting range of one of these campuses OR willing to relocate within 60 days (preference given to candidates with established local 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 equally important as technical competence
• Proven capacity to sustain relationships through challenging situations with sophisticated families while maintaining trust
• Authentic presence and communication approach that builds confidence rapidly with affluent, high-expectation families—not polished in a way that appears rehearsed
• Direct familiarity with independent, private, or non-traditional education—through professional experience or as a parent—that provides credible grounding when families challenge the model
• Sincere confidence in AI-powered education and the capacity to sustain that conviction authentically across years of parent relationships, not solely during the enrollment phase
• Availability for flexible hours: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening events 2–3x/month, and occasional weekend activities

Exceptional candidates will have at least one of the following:

• Established connections within the local affluent community that would provide immediate, organic credibility on campus
• Private school or independent school background with a demonstrated record of family retention and community strength—not merely enrollment figures
• Experience managing high-stakes family dynamics where your judgment and discretion were the foundation of sustained trust
• A natural ability to create experiences—events, moments, environments—that make people feel they belong to something meaningful
• Prior startup or early-stage experience where you built from the ground up and remained steady amid rapid change
