Director of Admissions - Bay Area @ Alpha
United States
In-person
full-time (40 hrs/week)
Flexible schedule
Long-term role
Key responsibilities
Grow enrollment at one Bay Area campus with families who will thrive in the Alpha model.
Description
In the Bay Area, the strongest admissions people don't sell. They manage a waitlist, staff a committee, and protect a reputation built long before they arrived. This job is the reverse. In your market, almost no family has heard of us yet. You go find them.
Alpha is a K-12 private school built on a claim we can prove: students complete core academics in two hours a day, learn faster than national benchmarks, and spend their afternoons on real skills rather than busywork. Bay Area parents are the hardest audience for that claim and the best one. Founders, engineers, physicians, and investors will not accept a warm tour and a mission statement. They will ask for the data, push on the trade-offs, and compare us to Nueva, Castilleja, Harker, Marin Country Day, and Branson in the same breath. Welcome that conversation.
Be clear about what this is. It is a sales job with a mandate for selectivity. You generate your own demand: preschool and feeder-school relationships, community partnerships, local events, and referrals from families you have already earned. You carry a growth number. You also tell a family "no" when the model is wrong for their child, in a market where saying "no" to a well-connected parent carries consequences. Both halves are the job. One misaligned family in a small cohort costs more than an empty seat.
Year one, you are the founding local face of a campus with a fledgling local brand, and most of your week happens outside the building. As the campus fills, the work changes. You stop chasing first conversations and become the leader parents ask for by name, with support under you and a playbook other campuses copy.
You work on-site at one campus (Palo Alto or San Rafael) five days a week, visible at drop-off, pick-up, and evening events. If you have Bay Area connections and want the whole-family journey, apply today.
Candidate requirements
- 3+ years in premium client-facing roles where an individual or family was the buyer at $25K+ per client or $2K+ per month. You can name the employer and price point; business-to-business or enterprise sales alone do not qualify.
- Personal ownership of an end-to-end client, admissions, or enrollment journey: application, needs assessment, offer, decision, and onboarding. What you did, not what your team did.
- At least 12 months owning an enrollment, membership, client-count, or revenue target, with results you can explain. You have built a demand channel that brought in paying clients or enrolled families and owned an external partnership or referral relationship that did the same; converting leads supplied by a central team alone does not qualify.
- 7 or more concurrent client or family relationships at different stages, tracked in a named CRM or database.
- A concrete example of recommending against your own product because it was not the right fit.
- Hands-on use of AI tools in a client-facing workflow, such as meeting preparation, personalized outreach, conversation summaries, or follow-up.
- Experience personally leading in-person tours, presentations, meetings, or hosted experiences for high-net-worth clients, senior executives, or similarly demanding audiences.
- Strong written and verbal communication with executive presence: you can uncover needs, explain complex concepts simply, handle objections, and lead high-stakes decision conversations.
- Experience managing thoughtful, multi-touch client relationships over several weeks, including staying engaged with prospects who do not immediately commit.
- You live in or will relocate within 60 days to Palo Alto, CA, or San Rafael, CA (Marin County). This role is fully on-site, not hybrid.
- Authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship.

Life Skills at Alpha
Watch Video MISSION
A school focused on student growth
Alpha is creating a school day with more room for students to grow. Students move through academics faster, but the real mission is much bigger than speed - giving them more time for confidence, life skills, curiosity, connection, and growth beyond the classroom.
- Academics with momentum: Students master core learning in focused, personalized blocks.
- More room for life skills: Freed-up time goes into workshops, projects, passions, and practical growth.
- An authentic version of student success: Alpha cares about academic progress, human development, and students who love learning.
Alpha’s model is built for people who believe school can ask more of students while giving them more in return.
Bring Big Ideas to Life
Watch Video CULTURE
Work with people who raise the bar
Alpha doesn't believe in 'good enough.' The work attracts inspiring educators, operators, leaders, and visionaries who want to be excellent at what they do, and be surrounded by colleagues who know education can be better for everyone.
- High standards: Alpha looks for people who want to keep improving and reaching for more.
- Growth mindset: The best team members are curious, coachable, and ready to learn fast.
- Shared responsibility: Students benefit when every adult around them brings energy, judgment, and care.
For the right person, this kind of culture is deeply motivating. It's a place to do some of the most industry-changing work in education, with people who really care about the outcome.
Bring your talent to a team that raises the bar.
Connect with Students
Watch Video IMPACT
Use technology to unlock human connection
Alpha uses AI technology to create more space for what students need from people - guidance, encouragement, mentorship, motivation, and meaningful connection. The goal isn't to make education less human, or replace teachers with AI. It's to give talented people more room to do the work students remember.
- More meaningful student connection: Adults spend less time delivering one-size-fits-all instruction and more time coaching growth.
- More visible progress: Students get one-on-one support that helps them academically, socially, and personally.
- More room to make a difference: Every role contributes to a school experience designed around student potential.
For educators, Alpha is where impact achieves its highest potential. For non-educators, it's a way to bring serious talent into work that changes real student lives.
Help students go further than school has ever let them.
