About the role

Alpha is constructing one of the most forward-thinking educational models globally. Our schools integrate demanding academics, technology-enabled instruction, and elevated expectations for both learners and educators. Students routinely progress faster than national averages, supported by measurable outcomes. Afternoons are dedicated to deeper exploration, self-directed learning, and practical competency development. The model delivers results. But success depends entirely on selecting families who align with our approach. That is your mandate. You will control the complete admissions process for a campus location, spanning initial application to final enrollment. This is not a coordination role. You own how families perceive us, how thoroughly they grasp the educational philosophy, and whether their enrollment choice reflects genuine fit. You will evaluate compatibility, facilitate substantive discussions, and advise against enrollment when appropriate. Maximum headcount is not the objective. Strategic alignment is.

Requirements

• 3+ years providing premium, individualized service in settings where service excellence directly shapes brand perception (education, high-end hospitality, executive assistance, exclusive membership organizations, or independently operated client services).
• Proven ownership of a complete client, admissions, or enrollment experience spanning initial inquiry to final onboarding.
• Experience concurrently stewarding 20+ client, guest, or family accounts at varying stages, supported by a reliable system for monitoring and prioritization.
• Capacity to supply specific examples of advisory decision-making, including instances where you recommended against your offering when alignment was absent.
• Professional correspondence experience with C-level executives, affluent clients, or discerning audiences.
• Willingness to reside in or relocate within 60 days to one of these locations: Chicago, IL, Nashville, TN, Tulsa, OK, or Southlake, TX.
• Authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Experience in competitive independent school admissions or selective program recruitment.
• Background in premium hospitality, VIP client services, or executive-level support functions.
• Experience designing or optimizing admissions workflows, standard operating procedures, or service protocols.
• Proficiency leveraging data and CRM analytics to enhance enrollment fit, not merely throughput.
