Ecosystem Director - Alpha
The families who choose Alpha rarely arrive from an ad. They arrive because another family sat across from them at dinner and said, "This changed my kid." That word-of-mouth engine is the thing you would own for an entire region: the dinners, the parent ambassadors, the mayor's office, the CEO who opens a door for a 14-year-old's first real project. A normal week puts you in four rooms. You design and host the region's calendar of gatherings, from a 150-person open house to an eight-seat curated dinner, several a month. You recruit current parents who genuinely want to talk to prospective ones and match them, family to family. You build relationships with city officials and business leaders, turning them into venues, sources of support for new campus openings, and real opportunities for students. And you deliver on the Alpha Networks: introductions, expert masterclasses, internships, alumni welcomes, logged family by family. There is no finished playbook. You write it while running it, and the systems you invent get picked up by peers building the same engine in other cities. As the region grows, the scoreboard gets harder, not easier: doors opened per family has to rise even as enrollment climbs. Success shows up as the share of growth arriving through real people vouching for Alpha, read on a multi-year trend rather than a quarterly report. No degree is required, and no particular pedigree. An MBA, a consulting or wealth-management career, and a self-made run in community, hospitality, or advancement all count the same here. What we read is the track record of convening people and turning those relationships into value. This role is on-site in one of the following regions: Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Dallas, or New York City. Expect evenings and weekends in rooms full of high-expectation parents, elected officials, and founders, plus regular local travel. You will be the most connected person in your city, and you will spend that on kids. If that trade sounds like the point rather than the cost, apply.
