Director of Partnerships and Community Outreach, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

About the role

This role fills the gap between families and trusted advisors, becoming the person they reach out to when uncertainty arises.

Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of relationships with every family on campus.
• Identify potential concerns proactively and address them with discretion and interpersonal skill.
• Maintain consistent visibility in family spaces: morning arrival, afternoon departure, evening gatherings, and select weekend programming.
• Create events, rituals, and engagement points that foster a sense of belonging for families.
• Encourage parent advocacy naturally, delivering experiences of such consistent quality that referrals emerge as an organic byproduct.
• Sustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha's AI-enabled model with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and periodic uncertainty.
• Recognize when a family alignment isn't optimal and manage that reality with poise, preserving community integrity.
• Establish the operational rhythms and frameworks this role demands within an environment where standard practices are still being developed.

Requirements

• Current residence within commuting range of one of these campuses OR willingness to relocate within 60 days (candidates with established local community ties preferred).
• Minimum 5 years in relationship-focused roles serving high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth clientele.
• Proven capacity to maintain relationships through complex situations with sophisticated families while emerging with trust strengthened.
• Authentic presence and communication approach that builds credibility rapidly with affluent, high-expectation families.
• Direct familiarity with independent, private, or alternative education models.
• Sincere conviction in AI-powered education and capacity to sustain that belief authentically across years of family partnerships.
• Flexibility for non-standard hours: early mornings, late afternoons, evening programming, and periodic weekend activities.

Qualifications

• Established connections within the local affluent community providing immediate, organic credibility on campus.
• Private or independent school background with demonstrated success in family retention and community building.
• Natural talent for designing experiences—gatherings, moments, environments—that make people feel part of something they want to preserve.
• Prior startup or early-stage organizational experience where you built from the ground up and maintained composure through rapid evolution.
