-
LOCATION: South Florida
SALARY RANGE: $90,000 - $110,000 with potential relocation/signing support
CANDIDATE PROFILE
▶️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵: A multi-site leader who gets results through people, not around them. They build the Dean of Operations bench across the region through coaching, accountability, and honest performance management, diagnosing where a campus struggles and partnering on the fix. DOO persistence and principal satisfaction are their scoreboard.
▶️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿: A growth-minded operator who treats enrollment as the network's lifeblood. They live in the dashboards during FTE1 and FTE2, catch lagging campuses early, and obsess over the family journey from inquiry through retention. They make recruitment a discipline, not a scramble, and keep the region at or above its FTE targets.
▶️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 & 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱: A disciplined business operator who builds the rails the region runs on. They bring rigor to budgets, procurement, and vendor management, keep campuses audit-ready rather than audit-anxious, and turn scattered campus data into regional insight through strong KPI dashboards.
▶️ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿: A logistics leader who makes sure every school opens ready and stays safe. They own Beginning-of-Year readiness across facilities, transportation, nutrition, and safety, and they partner on the region's expansion through site evaluations and facility planning. They plan for the crisis nobody wants and the growth everybody does.

LOCATION: Colorado (any location)
SALARY RANGE: $130,000
CANDIDATE PROFILE
▶️ The Visionary Founder: A courageous entrepreneur with a clear, bold vision for a "trajectory-changing" school that addresses the specific needs of a Colorado community.
▶️ The Relentless Learner: A high-capacity individual ready to immerse themselves in a rigorous, two-year training program to master the complexities of school design and operations.
▶️ The Community Catalyst: A leader who can build deep local roots, mobilizing families, boards, and stakeholders to support the birth of a new, high-quality educational option.
▶️ The Single-Site Specialist: A focused advocate committed to the "hands-on" work of launching a single, high-performing charter school from the ground up.
ROLE SUMMARY
The Legacy Fellowship is an elite, two-year incubator designed for visionary school founders committed to transforming the educational landscape of Colorado. This fellowship recognizes that creating a "trajectory-changing" school requires more than just a good idea; it requires a specialized set of skills in leadership, finance, curriculum design, and community engagement. By providing a generous $125,000 annual salary for two years, the program allows Fellows to step away from their current roles and dedicate their full energy to the rigorous work of launching a high-quality, single-site charter school.
Throughout the fellowship, participants transition from the "dreaming" phase to the "doing" phase, receiving the training and coaching necessary to navigate Colorado's unique charter landscape. The ultimate goal of the Legacy Fellowship is to ensure that when the school's doors finally open, the founder has built a sustainable, high-performing institution that provides students with an education of the highest caliber. This is a rare opportunity for transformative leaders to turn their passion for equity and excellence into a brick-and-mortar reality for the children and families of Colorado.
