What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Family Enrollment, Alpha - $200,000/year USD position at Crossover?
Many enrollment positions prioritize volume. This position exists to uphold standards.
Alpha is constructing one of the most forward-thinking school models globally. Our campuses integrate demanding academics, technology-enabled learning, and elevated expectations for both students and faculty. Students reliably progress faster than national averages, supported by measurable outcomes. Afternoon hours are dedicated to deeper exploration, independent work, and practical skill development. The model delivers results. But sustained success depends on enrolling aligned families.
This is your mandate.
You will oversee the complete enrollment process for a campus, beginning with the initial inquiry and continuing through onboarding. This is not a role where responsibility is passed between departments. You are accountable for how families perceive us, how thoroughly they grasp the model, and whether enrollment choices are made with proper understanding. You will evaluate compatibility, facilitate meaningful discussions, and advise against enrollment when appropriate. The objective is not filling seats. The objective is strategic alignment.
We welcome candidates from high-caliber service backgrounds outside conventional education: independent schools, competitive programs, upscale hospitality, executive assistance, exclusive membership organizations, or entrepreneurs who have directly managed premium client relationships from start to finish. The essential quality is your capacity to operate a meticulous, multi-phase process with sound judgment, precision, and consistent execution.
If your career has been defined by providing exceptional service where credibility, professionalism, and client experience shape the brand, this role will be recognizable—just directed toward work that produces measurable impact.
This is a full-time, salaried, on-site position. We are currently recruiting in Santa Barbara, Santa Monica, Orange County, Roswell, Chicago, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Dallas-Fort Worth. Support for relocation is provided.
What You Will Be Doing
Lead and deliver a relationship-driven, standards-focused enrollment process that attracts well-matched families while safeguarding the integrity and effectiveness of the Alpha model.
Basic Requirements
Want to join a learning rebellion that’s transforming the traditional classroom?
Alpha School is on a mission to reshape education with a bold approach that harnesses AI to accelerate learning and unleash student potential.
