Director of Family Engagement, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

$200,000/yr – full-time, 40 hours per week. Benefits include health, vision, dental, 401k, PTO, and more. Locations: Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, La Jolla (San Diego), Los Angeles (South Bay), CA. Alpha is building a fundamentally different school where students complete core academics in two hours daily through AI‑powered platforms and then devote the remaining time to public speaking, critical thinking, and real‑world execution. Families are highly educated, well‑counseled, and demand clear, thoughtful conversation. The role’s core focus is to earn and maintain their unconditional trust over the years. What You Will Be Doing Steward the complete relationship with every family on campus, cultivating trust that deepens with time. Identify concerns proactively and address them with discretion, urgency, and considered judgment. Maintain strong visibility during critical moments: morning drop‑off, afternoon pick‑up, and intentional parent gatherings. Facilitate ongoing, substantive conversations about Alpha’s AI‑driven model with highly analytical, technology‑oriented families. Architect and iterate on community experiences that foster belonging, advocacy, and referral activity. What You Won’t Be Doing Managing admissions funnels or enrollment targets – your work begins after families join. Operating from behind a desk or relying on email alone – this demands a high‑presence approach. Following scripts or deflecting difficult questions about AI or education. Relying on rigid processes – you will establish systems where they are absent. Treating families as accounts – this role values judgment over task execution.
