Growth-Driven Admissions Director for AI-Powered School

Crossover; Victorville (CA); On-site; USD 212,000 - 287,000; Full time

Job summary

Alpha reimagines the school day around faster learning, mentorship, and real-world skills. The admissions lead will build local demand, guide families through the end-to-end enrollment journey, and defend the AI-powered model to analytical parents.

You will own relationships, conduct tours, and report on pipeline health while shaping the local admissions playbook. This on-site role requires relocation to the Bay Area if needed.

Qualifications

• 3+ years in premium client-facing roles where an individual or family was the buyer at $25K+ per client or $2K+ per month.
• Personal ownership of an end-to-end client, admissions, or enrollment journey: application, needs assessment, offer, decision, and onboarding.
• A measurable growth or customer-acquisition number you owned, including how you generated leads and built local partnerships to hit it.
• 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.

Responsibilities

• Generating your own qualified family demand through preschool and feeder-school relationships, community partnerships, referrals, and local events.
• Owning every stage yourself: first inquiry, needs-assessment conversation, campus tour, student shadow day, enrollment decision, and onboarding.
• Leading tours, open houses, and information sessions where you defend an AI-powered learning model to analytical, skeptical parents.
• Holding 7 or more active family relationships at different stages, each with a tracked status and next action in HubSpot and our SIS (student information system).
• Reporting weekly on pipeline health and conversion quality, and rewriting the local admissions playbook, FAQs, and SOPs as you learn what works in your market.
