School Administrative Coordinator, Alpha - $75,000/year USD

Crossover, Chicago, IL, United States


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

A well-functioning campus is invisible. A struggling one is felt by everyone. This position ensures Alpha campuses operate with safety, consistency, and assurance—day in, day out.

Alpha is constructing one of the world\'s most ambitious education systems. Our classrooms are fast-paced. Our expectations are rigorous. That demands campus operations that are disciplined, agile, and designed for scale. This role controls everything beyond the classroom walls that enables students and Guides to excel.

As the operational anchor of the campus, you will handle parent and staff correspondence, oversee security and safety protocols, maintain smooth facilities and logistics, and ensure reliable technology for students and staff. You intervene when systems fail, foresee problems before they grow, and bring structured calm to fluid environments.

This is not a limited coordinator position. It is a hands-on, high-visibility role for someone who excels with responsibility, diversity of tasks, and execution. If you seek work where your choices directly influence student safety, staff performance, and parent confidence, this role provides genuine ownership and accountability.
