We are a private, community‑centered early education and elementary school serving a diverse and growing population in New Jersey. Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and inspiring learning environment where children's physical, cognitive, and social‑emotional growth comes first. With an adaptable curriculum and a team of dedicated educators, we help every child reach key developmental milestones in a way that honors their individual needs and strengths.

We are seeking a professional, driven, and highly accountable Executive Director to lead our expanding early childhood education programs. Reporting directly to the Owner, this role oversees a portfolio of Center Directors and provides the leadership, systems, and support they need to deliver consistent, high‑quality experiences for families across 2–3 centers.

  • Create and manage KPIs that measure performance and drive accountability across the organization.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with families and the community, ensuring decisions prioritize the well‑being of children and long‑term stability of the business.
  • Manage a multi‑center business portfolio, identifying growth opportunities and steering decisions that increase revenue, customer acquisition, and retention.
  • Hire, coach, develop, and retain a diverse, high‑performing team.
  • Anticipate and plan for staffing, marketing, financial, and operational needs.
  • Oversee processes, vendors, expenses, and operational infrastructure across all sites.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Self‑starter with minimal need for supervision; 5–7+ years of successful multi‑location leadership experience.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business Management or related field (Master's degree preferred but not required).
  • Proven experience managing budgets and P&Ls.
  • Experience leading an organization of 50+ employees and serving thousands of customers.
  • Strong ability to build, develop, and retain high‑performing teams.
  • Solid business acumen with the ability to identify sales opportunities and drive financial results.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
