\"Alpha School students, on average, experience 2.4 to 2.6 times the academic growth of traditional school students\" — Forbes Alpha is hiring. LOCATION NOTE: This is an in‑person role located at one of our campuses. You are the person who makes everything work. When a campus runs smoothly, students feel safe, staff stay focused, and parents trust the school. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because someone is quietly orchestrating hundreds of details every day—and doing it with clarity, urgency, and care. Alpha is building one of the most ambitious school models in the world. We combine rigorous academics, technology‑enabled learning, and high expectations for students and adults alike. This role exists to ensure the non‑academic side of the campus operates at the same standard as our classrooms. In this role, you own the operational heartbeat of the campus. You are responsible for community communication, campus safety, facilities and logistics, and day‑to‑day tech administration.
