LOCATION NOTE: This is an in-person role located at one of our campuses.
A well-run campus operates invisibly. When operations falter, the impact is immediate. This position ensures Alpha campuses function with reliability, safety, and precision—day in and day out.
Alpha is constructing one of the most rigorous education models globally. Our classrooms are fast-paced. Our expectations are exacting. That demands campus operations that are structured, agile, and designed for growth. This role controls everything beyond the classroom that enables students and Guides to excel.
In this position, you serve as the operational foundation of the campus. You handle parent and staff communications, manage safety and security protocols, ensure facilities and logistics operate seamlessly, and maintain reliable technology systems for students and staff. You intervene when systems fail, identify potential problems before they grow, and provide structured stability in fluid environments.
This is not a limited administrative position. It is a hands-on, high-visibility role for someone who excels with accountability, diversity of task, and execution. If you seek work where your choices directly influence student safety, staff performance, and parent confidence, this role provides genuine ownership and responsibility.
What You Will Be Doing
- Serving as a key contact point for parents, students, and staff to deliver prompt, clear, and professional communication
- Overseeing campus safety functions including entry management, medical incidents, emergency drills, record-keeping, and parent notifications
- Supervising daily campus operations such as attendance systems, transport logistics, facility upkeep, and administrative functions
- Assisting with onboarding and orientation of new personnel to ensure operational preparedness from the start
- Administering student devices and campus technology, functioning as the on-site Google Administrator and technology contact
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Delivering classroom instruction or providing academic support
- Mentoring Guides or influencing curriculum design
- Functioning in a purely clerical or narrowly defined capacity
- Working within a slow-paced or highly routine setting
- Escalating unsolved issues to others rather than taking ownership of results
