Regional Director of Family Engagement, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

Families who select Alpha already have trusted advisors across every area of their lives. This is the one they haven't found yet.You will become the person they reach out to when something doesn't feel right, when uncertainty arises, or when they want to share a moment only you would truly appreciate. You'll develop enough familiarity with each family to sense what they need before they articulate it—and you'll possess the judgment and composure to address whatever they bring with discretion, warmth, and no apparent strain. Over time, you won't simply be affiliated with their child's school. You'll become woven into the way they experience this phase of their family's journey.That level of trust isn't generated by following a script. It emerges from presence—consistent, unhurried, and daily. You'll be there during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up, at evening gatherings that count, and in the unscheduled one-on-one exchanges that never appear on any agenda. You'll cultivate a community families feel compelled to protect, where belonging feels natural and referrals arise because the experience justifies them.Alpha operates outside traditional school norms. Students complete their core academics in two hours daily using AI-powered applications, then dedicate the remainder of their time to public speaking, critical thinking, and real-world projects. No lectures. No filler assignments. Top 1% outcomes nationally. Families who enroll are investing in something they believe in—but that belief requires care and attention.You'll sustain that dialogue with every family, through every moment of uncertainty, for the duration of their child's enrollment. If explaining an unconventional model to discerning skeptics feels like a weight, this position isn't the right match. If it feels like the most compelling conversation you could be leading, continue reading.What You Will Be DoingTake ownership of the relationship with every family on campus—the evolving, deepening connection that ensures parents feel recognized, not merely attended toIdentify concerns before they surface as conversations, and address them with the discretion and interpersonal skill that preserves trustMaintain visible presence where families gather: morning drop-off (7–9am), afternoon pick-up (2–4pm), evening parent gatherings, and occasional weekend programmingCreate a campus community with authentic depth—events, rituals, and interactions that allow families to feel they're part of something worth safeguardingDevelop parent advocates through natural means, delivering experiences so reliably excellent that referrals emerge as a natural consequenceSustain the ongoing dialogue about Alpha's AI-powered approach with families managing screen time questions, skeptical relatives, and occasional doubts—not only during enrollment, but across their entire campus experienceRecognize when a family isn't aligned and manage that situation with the same care you apply to all interactions—safeguarding the community is integral to serving itEstablish the systems and routines this position demands in a setting where the framework is still taking shapeWhat You Won’t Be DoingOverseeing enrollment—that responsibility belongs to the Admissions Director; your work starts when families commit and grows from that pointOperating from behind a desk—your visibility within the community defines the roleMaintaining standard 9–5 schedules—early mornings, late afternoons, and evening programming are integral to the position, not occasional add-onsRelying on administrative infrastructure, established protocols, or a complete team—you function with significant autonomy and create what's necessaryApproaching family relationships as accounts requiring management—this role values authentic connection, not adherence to processRegional Director Of Family Engagement Key ResponsibilitiesServe as the trusted relationship anchoring every family's experience at Alpha.
