Director of Admissions and Enrollment, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

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

The families who select Alpha rely on trusted advisors across every dimension of their lives. This is the relationship they haven't yet found.

You will become the person they reach out to when questions arise, when instincts signal concern, or when they encounter a milestone they know you'll appreciate. You'll develop familiarity with each family deep enough to recognize needs before they surface—and you'll possess the judgment and composure to address whatever they present with tact, empathy, and seamless professionalism. Over time, your role will extend beyond being part of their child's education. You'll become woven into the way they navigate this stage of their family journey.

That depth of trust isn't achieved through procedure. It stems from presence—steady, day-to-day, and unhurried. You'll be present during morning arrivals and afternoon departures, at evening functions that hold meaning, and in private conversations that rarely appear on schedules. You'll cultivate a community families feel invested in protecting, where inclusion feels natural and recommendations arise because the quality of experience justifies them.

Alpha operates outside traditional school structures. Students complete their core curriculum in two hours daily through AI-powered platforms, then dedicate remaining time to public speaking, critical reasoning, and applied projects. No traditional lectures. No unnecessary assignments. Top 1% outcomes nationally. The families who enroll are investing in a vision they support—but conviction requires care.

You'll sustain that dialogue with each family, through every uncertainty, for the duration of their enrollment. If advocating for a non-traditional model to discerning skeptics feels burdensome, this position isn't suitable. If it represents the most engaging conversation you could facilitate, continue reading.

What You Will Be Doing

• Own the relationship with each enrolled family—the evolving, strengthening connection that ensures parents feel recognized, not simply accommodated
• Identify potential concerns before they escalate, and address them with the discretion and interpersonal skill that preserves confidence
• Maintain visible presence in family-facing moments: morning arrivals (7–9am), afternoon departures (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and select weekend programming
• Develop a campus culture with authentic character—programming, rituals, and interactions that foster a sense of belonging to something valuable
• Generate parent champions naturally, delivering experiences of such consistent quality that word-of-mouth referrals emerge organically
• Sustain the conversation about Alpha's AI-driven approach with families managing screen time concerns, skeptical relatives, and periodic doubts—not only at enrollment, but continuously throughout their campus tenure
• Recognize when a family fit isn't optimal and manage that determination with the same care you apply universally—community protection is integral to service
• Establish the structures and routines this position demands within an environment where standard operating procedures are still developing
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Overseeing enrollment—that falls under the Admissions Director's responsibilities; your engagement starts when families commit and grows thereafter
• Operating from a desk—your community presence defines the position
• Maintaining traditional 9–5 schedules—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening programming are routine, not occasional
• Relying on administrative infrastructure, established protocols, or fully staffed teams—you function with significant autonomy and create what's necessary
• Approaching family relationships as transactional accounts—this role rewards authentic engagement, not procedural adherence
