ROLE SUMMARY
The Vice President of Instruction (VP of Instruction) serves as a senior academic leader responsible for establishing and executing a clear, rigorous, and cohesive instructional and curriculum vision across all BridgePrep and SMART-managed schools.

LOCATION: Florida (Orlando, Miami, or Tampa preferred)
SALARY RANGE: $150,000 - $175,000
CANDIDATE PROFILE
▶️ The Brand Architect: A master storyteller who can craft a compelling, mission-driven narrative that positions BridgePrep as a top-tier choice for bilingual-enriched education.
▶️ The Growth Engineer: A data-obsessed strategist who builds high-conversion funnels through multiple methods of marketing and communications to all stakeholders, manages complex media buys, and treats building family relationships through enrollment as both an art and a science.
▶️ The Practitioner: A hands-on leader who spends 50% of their time on-site, supporting and scaling campus routines and coaching local teams to provide world-class family engagement, communications, and the high-quality BridgePrep educational experience.
▶️ The Talent Partner: A collaborative executive who amplifies the BridgePrep voice and brand so families, students, and educators know all that BridgePrep has to offer.
SUMMARY
The Vice President of Marketing and Communications functions as the chief brand architect and growth strategist for the BridgePrep and SMART-managed networks. Reporting to the COO, this leader is responsible for crafting a compelling narrative that positions the organization as a premier choice for bilingual-enriched education while ensuring 21+ campuses reach 100% enrollment. Unlike a traditional sales role, this position focuses on high-level ecosystem management: building sophisticated digital lead-generation funnels, overseeing complex media buys, and maintaining brand integrity across diverse social media platforms. By establishing rigorous analytics to track applicant acquisition costs and conversion rates, the VP ensures that marketing spend translates directly into a robust student body and a fully staffed organization.
On the ground, the role is highly collaborative and operational, requiring the VP to spend over half their time traveling to campuses to audit recruitment efforts and train staff in "customer-centric" family engagement. Success is measured through precise data benchmarks, such as maintaining a 3:1 application-to-seat ratio and achieving a 99% hire rate for staff. By bridging the gap between creative storytelling and technical data infrastructure, the VP ensures that every school—from established locations to new launches—demonstrates a consistent, mission-aligned presence that resonates with families and educators alike across the Florida market.

▶️ 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.
