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

About the role

This role fills the one advisory relationship that families already rely on across every dimension of their lives. You will become the person they reach out to when uncertainty arises, when something doesn't feel right, or when they want to share a milestone.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of the relationship with every family at your campus.
• Maintain visible presence in family spaces: morning arrival (7–9am), afternoon departure (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and select weekend programming.
• Cultivate a campus community with authentic depth—events, rituals, and touchpoints that foster a sense of belonging to something families consider worth safeguarding.
• Nurture parent champions organically, designing experiences of such consistent quality that referrals emerge naturally.
• Sustain the dialogue about Alpha's AI-driven model with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and periodic uncertainty—not only during enrollment but throughout their campus experience.
• Recognize when a family is not aligned and manage that reality with the same care you apply to all interactions—community protection is integral to service.
• Create the structures and routines this role demands in a setting where established protocols are still emerging.

Requirements

• Currently living within commuting range of one of the following campuses OR prepared to relocate within 60 days (preference given to candidates with established local community ties).
• Denver, CO; Greenwich, CT; Boca Raton, FL; Tampa, FL; Boston, MA; Bethesda, MD; Charlotte, NC; Las Vegas, NV; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Dallas (Carrollton), TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston (The Woodlands), TX; Park City, UT; Burlington, VT; Kirkland, WA; or Jackson Hole, WY.
• Authorized to work legally in the United States without sponsorship requirements.
• 5+ years in relationship-focused roles serving high-net-worth or ultra-high-net-worth families—private school admissions, luxury hospitality, philanthropic development, or any context where discretion, warmth, and social acuity were equally critical to competence.
• Proven capacity to preserve relationships through complex situations with sophisticated families and maintain trust throughout.
• Authentic presence and communication approach that builds confidence rapidly with affluent, high-expectation families—genuine rather than rehearsed.
• Direct familiarity with independent, private, or alternative education—through professional work or parenting—that provides credible standing when families challenge the model.
• Authentic conviction in AI-enabled education and capacity to sustain that belief genuinely across years of parent engagement, not merely during initial enrollment.
• Flexibility for variable hours: early mornings (7–9am), late afternoons (2–4pm), evening events 2–3 times monthly, and occasional weekend activities.

Qualifications

• Established connections within the local affluent community providing immediate, organic credibility on campus.
• Private school or independent school background with demonstrated success in family retention and community building—beyond enrollment metrics alone.
• Experience managing high-stakes family dynamics where your discretion and judgment were instrumental in preserving trust.
• Natural ability to design experiences—gatherings, moments, settings—where participants feel connected to something they value protecting.
• Prior startup or early-stage organizational experience where you built from the ground up and maintained composure amid rapid change.

Skills

• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with discretion.
• Highly organized and able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Excellent problem-solving and decision-making abilities.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package including a base salary of $100 USD/hour, which equates to $200,000 USD/year assuming 40 hours per week and 50 weeks per year.
• Flexible working hours to accommodate early mornings, late afternoons, evenings, and weekends.
• Opportunity to work with a dynamic and innovative organization committed to improving the education system.
