Director of Strategic Parent Engagement, Alpha (Remote) - $200,000/year USD - #259841

Where traditional schools focus on rote learning and compliance, Alpha empowers students to lead.

Our students excel academically within two hours daily using AI-driven mastery learning. No traditional teachers. No repetitive homework. No wasted time. They learn at twice the speed, achieving top 1-2% national results, and spend afternoons honing life skills like leadership, teamwork, entrepreneurship, and public speaking. This isn't a mere tweak to education—it's a complete overhaul.

In this model, parents aren't just observers. They are partners. Champions. Advocates. Your role is to transform parent communities into ardent supporters of a system that challenges conventional education. You won't be selling or appeasing; instead, you'll foster conviction, create alignment, and help families embrace an innovative approach.

If you've led grassroots initiatives, mobilized skeptical groups, or championed disruptive missions, you'll excel here. Those who prefer smoothing things over or quietly managing relationships may not find this role suitable.

Are you ready to empower parents as staunch advocates for the future of education? Join us and help shape the leaders of tomorrow.

• Handling moderate-level parent crises at a regional scale, ensuring community strength and unity.
• Tracking parent sentiment trends to spot early signs of discord before they escalate.
• Fostering robust parent networks that independently champion and disseminate Alpha's educational philosophy.

• Organizing low-impact or transactional events without strategic intent
