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

On-site (multiple locations – see Requirements) W2 Employee $200K/yr The families who select Alpha rely on trusted advisors across every part of their lives. This is the one role they haven't yet filled. You will become the person they reach out to when uncertainty surfaces, when something doesn't sit right, or when they want to share a moment they know you'll appreciate. You'll understand each family deeply enough to sense what they require before they articulate it—and you'll possess the judgment and composure to manage what they bring with tact, empathy, and effortless professionalism. Over time, you won't simply be connected to their child's education. You'll be woven into the way they navigate this stage of their family's journey. That level of trust isn't built through procedure. It's cultivated through presence—steady, reliable, and unhurried. You'll be on-site during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up, at the evening gatherings that count, and in the unscheduled one-on-one exchanges that never appear on a schedule. You'll foster a community that families want to protect, where inclusion feels organic and word-of-mouth spreads naturally because the experience justifies it. Alpha operates differently from conventional schools. Students complete their core academic work in two hours daily using AI-driven applications, then dedicate the remainder of their time to public speaking, critical reasoning, and applied projects. No traditional lectures. No filler assignments. Top 1% outcomes nationally. The families who enroll are investing in something they value deeply—but that commitment requires ongoing care. You’ll sustain that dialogue with each family, through every uncertainty, for the duration of their child's time with us. If the prospect of championing an unconventional approach to discerning critics feels burdensome, this position won't suit you. If it feels like the most compelling work you could undertake, continue reading.
