The role requires 7+ years of private/K-12 leadership, direct work with UHNW families, and exceptional executive communication.

Qualifications

• 7+ years leading high-stakes relationships in private or independent K-12 education, fundraising or major gifts, enterprise sales, client success, or private wealth management.
• 2+ years working directly and regularly with UHNW or similarly high-expectation families, such as full-pay families at an elite private school, family-office clients, wealth-management clients, or major donors.
• Proven ownership of measurable enrollment, retention, advocacy, sales, or client outcomes, including resolving sensitive situations and holding firm standards when influential people push back.

Responsibilities

• Building local awareness through partnerships with family offices, private clubs, and independent advisors, plus workshops and community events that generate inbound interest
• Running admissions for wealthy families end to end: info sessions, 1:1 follow-up in the CRM, and the enrollment decision, including telling a family this is not the right school for their child
• Turning enrolled parents into public champions of 2 Hour Learning through advocacy workshops and parent-to-parent networks, so enrolled families become your strongest source of new inquiries
• Resolving the escalations others cannot: diagnosing whether the problem is the model, campus execution, or family fit, engaging the family directly, then writing up the precedent for the rest of the network
• Keeping current families close through regular touchpoints, and reporting the patterns you hear back to leadership
