Description
- Location: On-site in Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, La Jolla (San Diego), or Los Angeles (South Bay), CA

The families you will serve are not seeking additional services. They are seeking someone they can trust implicitly.
This position anchors that trust. You will become the individual families turn to when intuition signals concern, when they require perspective, or when they wish to share something meaningful. Not as a function of your title—but because you have cultivated it. Your influence will define how they navigate their child's educational experience at one of five California locations: Palo Alto, Piedmont, downtown San Francisco, La Jolla, or South Bay (Los Angeles).
Alpha is creating a fundamentally different school. Students complete their core curriculum in two hours daily via AI-powered platforms, then dedicate the remainder of their time to public speaking, critical thinking, and practical execution. No traditional lectures. No redundant assignments. Outcomes consistently rank in the top 1% nationally. Our families are discerning, well-resourced, and frequently skeptical. They demand rigorous thinking, not rehearsed responses.
You will steward that dialogue over the long term. Not only during the enrollment phase, but across multiple years. You will communicate fluently about artificial intelligence—its mechanisms, its shortcomings, and its significance—particularly with families who build enterprises, fund them, or demand exactness in every choice. If you are unable to sustain that caliber of dialogue, this role will prove demanding. If you can, it represents one of the most intellectually stimulating positions in education.
This is not traditional relationship management. This is sustained trust-building with ultra-high-net-worth families who require discretion, sound judgment, and reliability. If that setting resonates with you—and you leverage AI tools daily to accelerate your thinking, writing, and execution—you will immediately recognize the value of this opportunity.
What you will be doing
- Take full ownership of the relationship with every family at your campus, cultivating trust that deepens over time
- Identify potential concerns early and address them with discretion, urgency, and thoughtful judgment
- Ensure consistent visibility at critical moments: morning arrival, afternoon departure, and strategically planned parent gatherings
- Facilitate ongoing, substantive dialogue about Alpha's AI-powered educational approach with analytically rigorous, tech-savvy families
- Develop and iterate community programming that fosters a sense of belonging, drives advocacy, and generates referral activity
What you will NOT be doing
- Overseeing admissions pipelines or enrollment metrics—your work begins once families have committed
- Operating remotely or managing relationships exclusively via email—this role demands physical presence
- Relying on prepared scripts or avoiding challenging questions regarding AI or educational philosophy
- Depending on established processes—you will create structure where none currently exists
- Viewing families as transactional accounts—this role values discernment over task execution
Key responsibilities
Establish and maintain enduring trust with ultra-high-net-worth families, driving sustained retention, advocacy, and unwavering confidence in Alpha's AI-powered education model.
