$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)

• Accept qualified, lower-funnel prospects and shepherd them through enrollment's final phases—information sessions, shadow day visits, post-event follow-up, and executed agreements
• Evaluate Founding Family alignment at every lower-funnel touchpoint, exercising the judgment and confidence to turn away families whose priorities or expectations diverge from Alpha's educational approach
• Take ownership of post-shadow-day outreach: the personalized conversations that transform a positive visit into a binding commitment
• Design and lead roadshow experiences in new markets—high-caliber events structured to advance already-engaged families toward a final decision
• Activate early enrolled families as public advocates prior to campus opening, establishing the grassroots credibility that anchors each founding cohort
• Function as the primary relationship contact for newly enrolled families until campus Associate Dean leadership transitions into place
• Communicate conversion data, family feedback, and alignment observations to the Dean of Parents, shaping how Alpha adapts its enrollment strategy across markets
• Travel up to 40% of the time across expansion cities to participate in events, execute roadshows, and facilitate shadow day experiences

• Conducting cold outreach or generating top-of-funnel awareness—families who reach you have already expressed interest and engagement
• Sustaining long-term family engagement after a campus Associate Dean assumes responsibility—your scope is conversion and launch, not ongoing stewardship
• Running events without a clear enrollment objective—every interaction you facilitate is designed to drive commitment
• Operating remotely from an office—this position demands in-person attendance at roadshows, shadow days, and community gatherings across multiple cities
• Lobbying for parent-requested modifications to Alpha's educational model—your mandate is to identify families who align, not to reshape the model for those who do not

Lead qualified Founding Family prospects through the final enrollment stages across Alpha's expansion cities—evaluating alignment, closing with confidence, and cultivating the early advocacy network that supports each campus beyond your tenure.

• Willing and able to travel up to 40% across Alpha expansion markets
• Legally authorized to work in the U.S. without sponsorship
• 5+ years in a client-facing capacity serving high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families, with primary responsibilities centered on converting established relationships into final commitments—private school admissions, luxury hospitality, philanthropic advising, or comparable fields
• Proven experience managing lower-funnel decision cycles with sophisticated clients and delivering quantifiable conversion results—with concrete metrics you can reference: volume of prospects handled, conversion percentages, enrollment or commitment dollar values
• The discernment to evaluate family alignment objectively, including the confidence to decline families who are not suited for the cohort
• Executive-level communication and presence that build trust rapidly and sustain it through the most difficult final questions
• Direct exposure to independent, private, or alternative education—through professional work or as a parent—that provides authentic credibility when families challenge the model at the decision point
• Sincere belief in AI-powered education and the capacity to sustain that conviction through the skeptical conversations that precede every signed enrollment agreement

Exceptional candidates will possess at least one of the following:

• Private or independent school admissions experience with documented lower-funnel performance—conversion metrics, completed enrollment agreements, founding cohort enrollment targets achieved
• Consultative sales or major gifts fundraising experience, closing high-value, relationship-intensive commitments with UHNW individuals and families
• Track record of operating across multiple geographic markets, establishing trust rapidly in the absence of prior relationships or brand presence
• Prior startup or early-stage company experience delivering conversion results without established infrastructure, documented processes, or mature team support
• Background in luxury hospitality or private client services where assessing client fit and maintaining selectivity were as critical as delivering service
