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

• On-site (multiple locations - see Requirements)
• W2 Employee
• $200K/yr
  
  

Families who choose Alpha have trusted advisors throughout every area of their lives. This is the relationship they haven't had yet.

You will be the person they reach out to when uncertainty strikes, when something doesn't feel right, or when they want to share a milestone they know you'll appreciate. You'll understand each family deeply enough to anticipate their needs ahead of any request—and you'll bring the judgment and poise to address whatever arises with confidentiality, care, and seamless execution. Over time, you won't simply be affiliated with their child's education. You'll become woven into how they navigate this phase of their family's journey.

That level of trust isn't produced by a system. It emerges from presence—steady, reliable, and unhurried. You'll be visible during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal, at the evening gatherings that count, and in the private conversations that never appear on any schedule. You'll create a community families feel invested in protecting, where connection feels natural and referrals follow because the experience warrants them.

Alpha is not a conventional school. Students complete foundational academics in two hours daily through AI-driven applications, then devote the remainder of their time to public speaking, critical reasoning, and applied projects. No traditional lectures. No redundant assignments. Performance in the top 1% nationally. The families selecting this path are investing in something they value deeply—but conviction requires care.

You'll sustain that dialogue with every family, through every uncertainty, for the duration of their child's enrollment. If advocating for a non-traditional model to discerning skeptics feels burdensome, this position isn't the right match. If it feels like the most compelling work you could be engaged in, continue reading.

What You Will Be Doing

• Take ownership of the relationship with every family on campus—the continuous, evolving connection that ensures parents feel recognized, not merely attended to
• Identify concerns ahead of their articulation and address them with the tact and interpersonal skill that preserves confidence
• Maintain visible presence in the places families gather: morning arrival (7–9am), afternoon dismissal (2–4pm), evening parent programming, and select weekend engagements
• Develop a campus culture with authentic depth—programming, rituals, and moments that foster a sense of belonging to something families want to safeguard
• Encourage parent champions naturally, creating consistently superior experiences that make referrals an organic result
• Sustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha's AI-driven approach with families managing concerns around screen exposure, skeptical relatives, and periodic uncertainty—not only during enrollment but across their entire campus tenure
• Recognize when a family isn't aligned and manage that transition with the same composure you apply to all interactions—safeguarding the community is integral to serving it
• Establish the structures and routines this position demands in a setting where the framework is still evolving
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Overseeing enrollment—that responsibility belongs to the Admissions Director; your work commences once families are onboarded and intensifies thereafter
• Operating from behind a desk—your presence within the community defines the role
• Maintaining standard 9–5 schedules—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening programming are inherent to the position, not occasional exceptions
• Relying on administrative infrastructure, established protocols, or a complete team—you function with significant autonomy and develop what is necessary
• Approaching family relationships as transactional accounts—this role rewards authentic engagement, not procedural adherence
  
  

Client Success Director Key Responsibilities

Serve as the trusted relationship anchoring every family's experience at Alpha. Maintain their confidence during challenging periods, cultivate a community where belonging feels intentional, and establish the environment in which satisfied families become active advocates.

Basic Requirements

• Currently live within commuting range of one of these campuses OR willing to relocate within 60 days (preference given to candidates with established local ties): Denver, CO; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Tampa, FL; Boston, MA; Bethesda, MD; Charlotte, NC; Las Vegas, NV; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Dallas (Carrollton), TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston (The Woodlands), TX; Park City, UT; Burlington, VT; Kirkland, WA; or Jackson Hole, WY
• Legally authorized for U.S. employment without sponsorship requirements
• 5 years in a client-facing role serving high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families—private school administration, luxury hospitality, philanthropic advising, or any context where discretion, interpersonal warmth, and social sophistication were equally essential as competence
• Proven capacity to maintain relationships through challenging situations with sophisticated families and conclude with trust strengthened
• Authentic presence and communication approach that secures confidence rapidly with affluent, high-expectation families—polished without appearing rehearsed
• Direct familiarity with independent, private, or alternative education—through professional experience or as a parent—that provides you credible perspective when families challenge the model
• Authentic conviction in AI-enabled education and the capacity to sustain that belief genuinely across years of family interactions, not solely during initial enrollment
• Flexibility for non-standard hours: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening programming 2–3x/month, and periodic weekend activities
  
  

Nice-to-have Requirements

Outstanding candidates will possess at least one of the following:

• Established connections within the local affluent community that would provide immediate, organic credibility on campus
• Private or independent school background with demonstrated success in family retention and community building—beyond enrollment metrics alone
• Experience managing high-stakes family dynamics where your discretion and judgment were the foundation of sustained trust
• A talent for designing experiences—programming, occasions, environments—where participants feel part of something they want to protect
• Prior startup or early-stage involvement where you built infrastructure from the ground up and remained steady through rapid change
