Director of Community Engagement

$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 continuous, evolving connection that ensures parents feel genuinely known, not simply processed
• Identify potential concerns before they surface as issues, and address them with the tact and social intelligence that preserves and strengthens trust
• Maintain visible presence where families gather: morning drop-off (7–9am), afternoon pick-up (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and select weekend programming
• Develop a campus culture with real depth—programming, rituals, and moments that foster a sense of belonging to something families consider worth safeguarding
• Develop parent champions naturally, by delivering experiences so reliably exceptional that advocacy and referrals emerge organically
• Sustain the dialogue around Alpha's AI-driven model with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and occasional uncertainty—not only during enrollment, but continuously throughout their campus experience
• Recognize when a family may not align with the community and address that reality with the same care you apply to all interactions—protecting the community is integral to serving it well
• Establish the systems and cadences this role demands in a setting where standard operating procedures are still being developed

• Overseeing enrollment processes—that responsibility belongs to the Admissions Director; your role begins once families have joined and deepens over time
• Operating primarily from an office—your physical presence within the community defines this role
• Adhering to standard 9–5 schedules—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening programming are core to the position, not occasional requirements
• Depending on administrative infrastructure, standardized workflows, or a complete team—you function with significant autonomy and develop what's necessary
• Viewing family relationships as transactional accounts—this role values authentic human connection over procedural adherence

Serve as the trusted relationship at the heart of every family's Alpha experience. Maintain their confidence during challenging moments, foster a community where belonging feels meaningful, and establish the conditions under which satisfied families naturally become strong advocates.

• Currently live within commuting range of one of these campuses OR prepared to relocate within 60 days (preference for candidates already embedded in local community): 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 (Carrollton), TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston (The Woodlands), TX; Park City, UT; Burlington, VT; Kirkland, WA; or Jackson Hole, WY
• Legally permitted to work in the United States without sponsorship requirements
• 5+ years in a relationship-centered role serving high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families—private school admissions, high-end hospitality, philanthropic advising, or any setting where discretion, warmth, and social sophistication mattered as much as competence
• Proven capacity to maintain relationships through challenging situations with discerning families and consistently preserve trust
• Authentic presence and interpersonal style that quickly builds confidence with affluent, high-expectation families—not rehearsed or overly polished
• Direct familiarity with independent, private, or alternative education—through professional experience or as a parent—that provides credible grounding when families raise questions about the model
• Sincere conviction in AI-powered education and the capacity to sustain that belief genuinely across years of parent engagement, not merely during initial enrollment discussions
• Willingness to work flexible hours: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening events 2–3 times monthly, and occasional weekend activities

Exceptional candidates will possess at least one of the following:

• Pre-existing connections within the local affluent community that would provide an immediate, organic advantage on campus
• Private or independent school background with demonstrated success in family retention and community-building—not merely recruitment metrics
• Track record managing complex family relationships where your sound judgment and confidentiality were the foundation of sustained trust
• A talent for designing experiences—gatherings, traditions, environments—that make people feel part of something they want to protect
• Prior startup or early-stage organizational experience where you built capability from the ground up and remained composed amid rapid change
