Job description

"Alpha is opening new campuses all over America. Why? Because their students love school, learn valuable life skills, and run laps around their peers academically"

Alpha is hiring.

LOCATION NOTE: This is an in-person role located at one of our campuses.

You are the person who makes everything work. When a campus runs smoothly, students feel safe, staff stay focused, and parents trust the school. That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone is quietly orchestrating hundreds of details every day-and doing it with clarity, urgency, and care.

Alpha is building one of the most ambitious school models in the world. We combine rigorous academics, technology-enabled learning, and high expectations for students and adults alike. This role exists to ensure the non-academic side of the campus operates at the same standard as our classrooms.

In this role, you own the operational heartbeat of the campus. You are responsible for community communication, campus safety, facilities and logistics, and day-to-day tech administration. One moment you may be coordinating a safety drill, the next resolving a device issue, onboarding a new staff member, or addressing a parent concern. You are not just keeping things running—you are creating confidence.

This is a hands-on, on-site role for someone who thrives in dynamic environments, stays calm under pressure, and takes pride in delivering a high bar of service. If you want work where your decisions directly affect student well-being, staff effectiveness, and parent trust, this role offers real ownership and impact.

What You Will Be Doing

• Acting as the main point of contact for parents, students, and staff, keeping communication clear, timely, and professional
• Managing campus safety operations, including access control, health incidents, drills, documentation, and parent communication
• Overseeing daily campus operations such as attendance processes, facilities coordination, transportation, and office logistics
• Supporting onboarding and training for new staff to ensure smooth integration into campus operations
• Managing student devices and campus technology, acting as the primary on-site tech liaison and Google Administrator

What You Won't Be Doing

• Teaching classes or managing academic instruction
• Coaching Guides or leading curriculum development
• Working in a narrow, single-function administrative role
• Sitting behind a desk with predictable, repetitive tasks
• Passing problems along without ownership or resolution

Campus Coordinator Key Responsibilities

Ensure smooth, safe, and efficient campus operations that consistently improve the experience and satisfaction of students, staff, and parents.

Basic Requirements

The pipeline JD is already written for exactly this reader: the "Campus Coordinator" title matches the occupation described (operations, safety, facilities, tech liaison). A campus coordinator reading this would understand every term as written - "office coordination," "facilities support," "site operations," "tech liaison," "Google Administrator" are all native to this role. There is no generic background to recognize, no unfamiliar term to translate, and the role's decisive part (operational ownership) is already led with throughout, including the hook and responsibilities. No section requires recognition, translation, or emphasis moves - the source is already aimed at this exact reader.

• Bachelor's Degree in any field
• At least 1 year of experience in office coordination, facilities support, site operations, or a similar operational role
• At least 6 months of hands-on basic IT troubleshooting, device management, and account administration in a work, school, or volunteer setting
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage parents, students, and vendors professionally
• Demonstrated comfort building warm, trusted relationships with children and families in a visible on-campus role
• Ability to independently own campus operations and make sound decisions across safety, facilities, logistics, communication, and basic technology in a lean environment
• Strong service orientation, emotional intelligence, and calm judgment under pressure
