Admissions Associate

You will be the first point of contact for families deciding where their child's educational journey begins. Every message you send, event you coordinate, and conversation you lead will shape whether a family chooses Alpha. This role is designed for someone who values precision, responsiveness, and genuine human connection, and who understands that trust is built through thoughtful execution.


Alpha is building one of the most ambitious school models in the world. Our campuses blend rigorous academics, technology-powered learning, and high standards for students and staff alike. Admissions is where that vision comes to life. Families are not just looking for information. They are looking for clarity, confidence, and evidence that Alpha stands apart in meaningful ways.


In this position, you will manage the full experience for prospective families from their first inquiry forward. You will respond promptly and thoughtfully, organize campus tours and shadow visits, maintain accurate applicant data, and guide parents through how Alpha operates and whether it aligns with their goals. This is a visible, relationship-driven role where you directly influence enrollment decisions.


This is a fast-paced, on-campus role in San Francisco for someone who can manage multiple priorities with accuracy and care. If you take pride in clear communication, strong follow-through, and helping families make well-informed choices, this role offers significant ownership and impact.
