Description
While most enrollment positions prioritize volume, this one is designed to uphold standards.
Alpha is constructing a school model of uncommon ambition. Our campuses integrate demanding academics with technology-enabled learning and elevated expectations for both students and faculty. Students routinely exceed national learning benchmarks, supported by measurable outcomes. Afternoons shift focus toward depth, autonomy, and practical skill development. The model delivers results—but only when families align with its principles. That is your responsibility.
You will control the admissions process for a campus, spanning application to enrollment. This is not a coordination role. You determine how families perceive us, how well they grasp the model, and whether enrollment choices reflect genuine alignment. You will evaluate compatibility, facilitate substantive discussions, and advocate for declining admission when appropriate. The objective is not enrollment maximization. The objective is mutual fit.
We welcome candidates from premium service settings outside conventional education: selective private schools, competitive programs, luxury hospitality, executive assistance, premium membership organizations, or owner-operators with direct accountability for high-value client experiences. The critical factor is your capacity to manage a high-touch, phased process with discernment, precision, and accountability. If your career has centered on delivering white-glove service where trust, discretion, and experience define the brand, this position will be recognizable. Apply now to apply that standard to meaningful work.
What you will be doing
- Directing the complete enrollment experience for prospective families, from initial inquiry to onboarding completion.
- Facilitating needs-assessment dialogues to evaluate fit prior to proposing solutions or advising on next actions.
- Overseeing 20+ concurrent family engagements at varying enrollment stages, with transparent tracking of status and follow-up requirements.
- Guiding campus visits, shadow day experiences, and enrollment conversations that articulate outcomes, expectations, and model suitability with clarity.
- Ensuring precise CRM and enrollment data management (HubSpot and SIS) to enable forecasting, prioritization, and sustained service excellence.
What you will NOT be doing
- Employing transactional or high-pressure enrollment strategies.
- Admitting families whose values or needs conflict with the model merely to meet targets.
- Overseeing a sizable team or operating within complex approval hierarchies.
- Distributing family experience ownership across multiple staff members.
- Performing this work remotely. This position is intentionally campus-based.
Key responsibilities
Direct and deliver a high-trust, selective enrollment process that successfully enrolls aligned families while safeguarding the integrity and educational performance of the Alpha model.
Candidate requirements
- 3+ years providing premium, tailored service in settings where service excellence directly shapes brand reputation (education, luxury hospitality, executive assistance, premium membership, or owner-operated client services).
- Proven ownership of a full-cycle client, admissions, or enrollment process from initial contact through onboarding.
- Experience managing 20+ simultaneous client, guest, or family relationships across different stages, supported by a structured tracking and prioritization method.
- Capacity to present specific examples of consultative decision-making, including instances where you advised against your offering when alignment was absent.
- Professional written communication with senior executives, high-net-worth clients, or sophisticated audiences.
- Willingness to reside in or relocate within 60 days to one of these locations: Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Atlanta, GA; or Boston, MA.
- Authorized to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship.
Nice to have
- Experience conducting admissions for selective private schools or competitive enrollment programs.
- Professional background in luxury hospitality, VIP services, or executive support.
- Experience designing or enhancing enrollment workflows, standard operating procedures, or service protocols.
- Proficiency leveraging data and CRM analytics to refine enrollment quality, not merely velocity.
