Client Services Director, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

Crossover
Santa Barbara, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 8/3/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/26/2026
Most enrollment positions focus on volume. This one is designed to uphold standards.

Alpha is developing one of the world's most ambitious educational models. Our campuses integrate rigorous academics, technology-enabled learning, and elevated expectations for both students and faculty. Students routinely outpace national learning benchmarks, supported by measurable outcomes. Afternoons are structured for depth, autonomy, and practical skill development. The model is effective. But effectiveness depends on selecting the right families. That's your responsibility.

You will oversee the complete admissions experience for a campus, beginning with application and concluding with enrollment. This is not a handoff position. You own how families perceive us, how thoroughly they grasp the model, and whether enrollment choices are driven by genuine alignment. You will evaluate fit, facilitate informed discussions, and advise against enrollment when appropriate. The objective is not to maximize numbers. The objective is alignment.

We welcome candidates from premium service backgrounds outside conventional education: private schools, selective programs, luxury hospitality, executive assistance, premium membership organizations, or owner-operators who have directly managed high-value client experiences from start to finish. What counts is your capacity to execute a high-touch, multi-phase process with sound judgment, clarity, and accountability. If your career has been defined by delivering white-glove service where trust, discretion, and quality shape the brand, this role will resonate. Apply now to bring that caliber of work to something meaningful.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Overseeing the complete enrollment experience for prospective families, from initial contact through onboarding.
  • Facilitating needs-assessment discussions to evaluate fit prior to offering solutions or advising on next steps.
  • Managing 20 concurrent family relationships across various enrollment stages, with full visibility into status and follow-up requirements.
  • Guiding campus tours, shadow experiences, and decision-making conversations that transparently convey outcomes, expectations, and the intended audience for the model.
  • Sustaining accurate CRM and enrollment documentation (HubSpot and SIS) to enable forecasting, prioritization, and service excellence.

What You Won’t Be Doing

  • Employing transactional or aggressive sales techniques.
  • Accepting families who lack alignment purely to meet quotas.
  • Overseeing a large team or operating within complex approval hierarchies.
  • Distributing ownership of the family experience across multiple roles.
  • Working remotely. This position is campus-based by structure.

Client Services Director Key Responsibilities

Own and deliver a high-trust, high-selectivity enrollment process that attracts aligned families while safeguarding the integrity and performance of the Alpha model.

Basic Requirements

  • 3 years providing premium, individualized service in settings where service quality directly influences brand reputation (education, luxury hospitality, executive assistance, premium membership, or owner-operated services).
  • Proven ownership of a full-cycle client, admissions, or enrollment experience from initial contact through onboarding.
  • Experience concurrently managing 20 client, guest, or family relationships at varied stages, supported by a robust tracking and prioritization system.
  • Capacity to offer specific examples of consultative decision-making, including instances where you advised against your product or service due to poor fit.
  • Professional written communication experience with senior executives, high-net-worth individuals, or discerning clients.
  • Willingness to reside in or relocate within 60 days to one of these markets: Malibu, CA; Los Angeles, CA; or Santa Barbara, CA.
  • Authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.

Nice-to-have Requirements

  • Experience in selective private school admissions or enrollment for competitive programs.
  • Background in luxury hospitality, VIP guest services, or executive-level support.
  • Experience developing or refining enrollment workflows, SOPs, or service standards.
  • Proficiency using data and CRM insights to enhance conversion quality, not merely velocity.
