Vice President of Community Relations, 2 Hour Learning - $400,000/year USD

About the role

This position leads the parent-facing side of Alpha in a single metropolitan area—Miami, San Francisco, or Los Angeles. Success is measured by enrollment and advocacy: prospective ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families who commit, current UHNW families who re-enroll, refer others, and publicly endorse 2 Hour Learning, and a regional community where Alpha maintains strong visibility.

Approximately half your time will be externally focused—cultivating community partnerships, conducting information sessions, and holding one-on-one discussions with discerning parents. The remainder serves as the escalation point for situations beyond an Associate Dean of Parents’ authority, preserving both the family relationship and the integrity of the model while creating documented precedents for future reference.

Responsibilities

• Develop regional visibility by establishing partnerships with family offices, exclusive clubs, and independent advisors, and hosting workshops and community gatherings that drive inbound interest
• Oversee the complete admissions process for affluent families: information sessions, CRM-tracked individual follow-ups, and enrollment decisions, including communicating when a family is not a good fit for the school
• Cultivate enrolled parents as vocal advocates for 2 Hour Learning via advocacy workshops and parent-to-parent networks, transforming current families into your most effective source of new prospects
• Handle escalations that others are unable to resolve: determine whether the issue lies with the model, campus implementation, or family alignment, engage directly with the family, and document the resolution for use across the network
• Maintain strong connections with current families through consistent engagement, and surface observed trends to leadership

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Leading capital campaigns, donor cultivation, major gift solicitation, or any other fundraising activities
• Organizing PTAs, School Improvement Councils, parent committees, or focus groups that hold decision-making authority over school policy
• Overseeing facilities, finance, legal, vendors, technology, marketing, or community logistics—these functions are centralized
• Creating curriculum or providing instructional coaching to staff; the academic model is maintained and protected by central leadership
• Approving exceptions or modifications to the educational model in response to parent requests, regardless of the parent's influence
• Merely logging and addressing complaints, or drafting newsletters and standard parent communications
• Resolving conflict through avoidance—diplomacy in this role requires delivering difficult messages and upholding standards
• Operating remotely; this is an on-site, full-time position with evening and weekend community commitments

Requirements

• 7+ years in a position centered on high-stakes relationship management: head of school, fundraising, enterprise sales, private wealth management, or client success
• Consistent, direct engagement with ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) families, including households with $1M+ annual income or families paying full tuition at elite private schools
• Background in a parent-facing or client-facing capacity at an independent or private K-12 school, or in UHNW client services
• At least one documented instance of personally guiding a sensitive matter to resolution: a parent crisis, a staff investigation, a media inquiry, or a regulatory interaction
• Demonstrated ability to uphold standards when faced with pressure from influential stakeholders
• Residence in the Miami, San Francisco, or Los Angeles metropolitan area, with availability to work on-site full-time, including evening and weekend events
• Authorization to work in the United States without requiring sponsorship

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Current or recent Head of School—or senior leadership partner—at a premier independent K-12 institution (NAIS-member or equivalent)
• Experience leading multi-campus or multi-site school operations (regional director, network superintendent, COO of a school network)
• UHNW client-services expertise applied to school leadership: private wealth management, single-family office, or major-gifts development at an elite preparatory school or Ivy League institution
• Established connections among UHNW families or prominent local organizations in Miami, San Francisco, or Los Angeles
• Background in crisis communication involving media, regulators, or board-level stakeholders
• Practical AI development experience—custom GPTs, agents, or internally developed tools applied in a real operational setting
• An advanced degree (M.Ed., MBA, or doctorate)—typical for this profile, though not mandatory; no formal education credential is required for this position
