Director of Enrollment Management Trillium Academy | Seattle, WA
We’re a second-year independent school serving twice-exceptional students in grades 5-12, and we’re looking for someone to lead our enrollment efforts with authenticity and purpose.
About This Role We need a Director of Enrollment Management who understands that building trust with families takes time, especially when those families have often been let down by traditional schools. This is a senior leadership position where you’ll develop and implement enrollment strategies that genuinely reflect who we are and who we serve.
You’ll be joining our small administrative team and working closely with a committed Board that values thoughtful growth over rapid expansion. We move “at the speed of trust” here—which means we prioritize authentic relationships over quick wins.
What You’ll Do:
Develop enrollment processes that honor the complexity of 2e learners and their families
Create honest, clear messaging about what we offer (and what we don’t)
Build sustainable systems for recruitment, admissions, and retention
Partner with families through the enrollment journey with transparency and care
Use data thoughtfully to inform decisions while keeping human connections at the center
Work collaboratively with faculty and staff who deeply understand our students’ needs
Who You Are:
Someone who values authentic communication over polished marketing speak
Comfortable with the iterative nature of building something meaningful
Able to balance optimism with realism when speaking with families
Skilled at creating systems while maintaining flexibility
Experienced in admissions or enrollment (3-5+ years preferred) or relevant experiences
Aligned with neurodiversity-affirming practices
Why This Work Matters Our students are brilliant and complex. They’ve often experienced school as something being “done to them” rather than with them. We’re creating a different path—one where integrated support, flexible learning, and genuine belonging help these students rediscover their love of learning.
This isn’t about being everything to everyone. It’s about being the right fit for students who need what we uniquely offer.
Our Values in Practice Consideration: We make decisions thoughtfully, considering impact on all community members
Creativity: We approach challenges with curiosity and openness to new solutions
Growth Mindset: We’re all learning and growing—students, faculty, administrators, and the school itself
