Community Builder

If you're the person who fills the room, remembers every name, and is still talking to people months later, keep reading.


Alpha is rethinking what school can be. Students complete core academics in just two hours a day using AI-powered learning, then spend the rest of their time building the skills that matter most: critical thinking, communication, entrepreneurship, and real-world execution. Families don't choose Alpha because of marketing. They choose it because they experience something they can't find anywhere else. This role exists to create that experience.


You'll build and grow the community that brings exceptional families into Alpha and helps them confidently choose us over every other school they're considering. You'll own the human side of admissions, from the first event a family attends through enrollment, creating memorable experiences that build trust long before a decision is made. You'll plan events, develop relationships, personally nurture prospective families, and turn accepted students into enrolled students. This role is for someone who has built real communities before, thrives in a room full of people, and understands that relationships drive meaningful decisions. You'll work closely with the Director of Admissions, Heads of School, and Admissions Associate while helping build the playbook that will shape Alpha's future growth.


If you've built communities people genuinely wanted to belong to and you're excited by the opportunity to help transform education, we'd love to hear from you.
