Dean of Admissions, Alpha - $400,000/year USD

The Role

Families at Alpha Miami rely on trusted advisors across every facet of their lives. You will be the individual they reach out to in moments of uncertainty, when something doesn't feel quite right, or when they want to share an experience they trust you'll appreciate. Over time, you won't simply be associated with their child's education. You'll become woven into how they remember this phase of their family's journey.

About the Role

Alpha operates outside traditional schooling models. Students complete foundational academics in two hours daily through AI-driven applications, then dedicate remaining time to public speaking, critical reasoning, and applied projects. No conventional lectures. No filler assignments. Top 1% outcomes on a national scale.

Responsibilities

• Shape the cultural identity of the school community—establishing the tone, rituals, and implicit standards that foster belonging
• Manage the full parent relationship lifecycle—from initial inquiry through enrollment, retention, and sustained advocacy
• Detect early signals when something is amiss, and address them with discretion and judgment that preserve trust
• Cultivate a community that both local and international families feel invested in protecting—and where referrals emerge organically because the experience justifies them
• Communicate Alpha's narrative persuasively—in individual discussions, at gatherings, and within the circles of discerning, globally oriented families where the school's standing is truly established

Requirements

• 5+ years building and sustaining trust with high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families in a high-touch, relationship-centered capacity
• Demonstrated success guiding sophisticated clients through consequential decisions—with measurable outcomes you can reference: conversion rates, retention figures, referral volume
• The discretion and poise to navigate sensitive, confidential matters without leaving evidence of strain
• Proven experience managing and developing personnel—providing coaching, maintaining high standards, and executing difficult staffing decisions—beyond simply managing relationships or client portfolios
• Innate cross-cultural competence with both globally mobile and established Miami family communities
• AI-native orientation—you employ AI tools fluently, understand their strengths and limitations, and proactively identify superior alternatives, even if you aren't building them yourself
• Background as a head of school, principal, superintendent, or in an equivalent educational leadership position
• Professional-level fluency in Spanish or Portuguese
• Personal or professional exposure to independent or non-traditional educational models
• Established connections within Miami's private school parent communities
• Experience working with internationally mobile, Latin American, or globally connected family populations
• A personal network extending across the neighborhoods, clubs, and institutions where Alpha's families reside and make decisions
