As the initial contact for families choosing where to begin their child's education, you will influence enrollment through every message, event, and conversation you manage. This role requires precision, responsiveness, and authentic connection, recognizing that trust develops through deliberate and thoughtful execution.

Alpha is constructing a school model of exceptional ambition. Our campuses integrate demanding academics, technology-enabled instruction, and elevated expectations for both students and staff. The admissions function is where this vision becomes tangible. Families seek more than information—they need clarity, assurance, and proof that Alpha differentiates itself in substantive ways.

This visible, relationship-centered role directly shapes enrollment outcomes.

This fast-moving, on-campus position in Palo Alto, CA and Piedmont (East Bay), CA suits someone capable of balancing multiple priorities with precision and attentiveness. If you value clear communication, reliable follow-through, and empowering families to make informed decisions, this role provides meaningful ownership and influence.

  • Addressing prospective family inquiries within 24 hours through clear, professional, and Alpha-consistent messaging
  • Organizing and executing admissions events, campus tours, and student shadow visits from planning through post-event follow-up
  • Ensuring complete and precise applicant records within CRM and admissions systems
  • Conducting family meetings to clarify Alpha's educational model, respond to questions, and gather pertinent information
  • Working alongside campus and admissions teams to sustain a streamlined and effective admissions process

What You Won’t Be Doing

  • Delivering instruction or supervising curriculum
  • Employing aggressive sales methods or scripted communication
  • Functioning in an unstructured or slow-paced setting
