Captivate. Inspire. Transform. This is your stage to orchestrate transformative experiences that convince affluent families to invest in their children's future with Alpha. Far beyond logistics coordination, you'll be the visionary who designs and delivers events that showcase our revolutionary educational model to families making seven-figure decisions about their children's education.

As we launch 25 new locations nationwide in the coming year, you'll spearhead the event strategy that fuels our ambitious expansion.

Our clientele demands exceptional results and lifelong advantages for their children. Your events must deliver this message with unwavering conviction, operational precision, and authentic passion when speaking directly to parents who expect excellence without compromise.

You will define our event vision, establish quality benchmarks, and ensure brand consistency across all experiences.

• Simultaneously directing 5-10 events with executive-level problem-solving skills and cross-departmental collaboration
• Serving as Alpha's ambassador in high-profile settings—from commanding the stage to engaging prospective families in meaningful conversations—with the gravitas and expertise to champion our educational revolution

What You Won't Be Doing

• Following predetermined protocols or waiting for detailed directives
• Producing generic, forgettable events indistinguishable from conventional schools
• Delegating Alpha's core messaging to external agencies or script-dependent presenters
• Shying away from provocative, transformative conversations about academic excellence, accelerated learning, and measurable outcomes
