Job description

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

You are the individual who ensures that everything functions properly. A smoothly running campus creates an environment where students feel secure, staff remain concentrated on their work, and parents place their confidence in the institution. This outcome is not accidental. It results from someone methodically coordinating countless details each day—with precision, a sense of urgency, and genuine attention.

Alpha is constructing one of the world's most forward-thinking school models. We integrate demanding academics, technology-enhanced learning, and elevated standards for both students and adults. This position exists to guarantee that the non-instructional operations of the campus meet the same benchmark as our teaching environments.

In this capacity, you control the operational pulse of the campus. Your responsibilities include community communication, campus security, facilities and logistics oversight, and daily technology administration. At any given time, you might be organizing a safety drill, troubleshooting a technology issue, welcoming a new team member, or responding to a parent inquiry. Your role extends beyond maintaining operations—you are building institutional confidence.

This is a practical, campus-based position suited for someone who excels in fast-paced settings, maintains composure under stress, and values delivering exceptional service standards. If you seek work where your choices directly influence student safety, staff productivity, and parental confidence, this role provides genuine ownership and measurable impact.

What You Will Be Doing

• Acting as a key contact for parents, students, and staff, providing clear, prompt, and professional communication
• Overseeing campus security operations, including entry management, health-related incidents, emergency drills, record-keeping, and parent updates
• Supervising daily campus functions such as attendance systems, facilities management, transportation arrangements, and administrative logistics
• Assisting with onboarding and orientation for new staff members to facilitate seamless incorporation into campus workflows
• Administering student devices and campus technology systems, functioning as the on-site technology point person and Google Administrator

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Delivering classroom instruction or overseeing academic programs
• Providing coaching to Guides or contributing to curriculum design
• Operating in a limited, single-purpose clerical capacity
• Performing routine, predictable administrative tasks from a stationary desk
• Transferring issues to others without taking ownership or achieving resolution

Operations Coordinator Key Responsibilities

Maintain smooth, secure, and effective campus operations that continuously enhance the experience and satisfaction of students, staff, and parents.

Basic Requirements

• Bachelor's Degree in any field
• At least 1 year of experience in office coordination, facilities support, site operations, or a similar operational role
• Comfort with basic technology troubleshooting, device management, and account administration
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage parents, staff, 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
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining attention to detail
• Available to work in-person in one of our campuses: Greenwich, CT; Santa Barbara, CA; Malibu, CA; Boston, MA; Kirkland, WA; South Bay, CA; Santa Monica, CA — or willing to relocate
• Authorized to work in the United States without visa sponsorship
