We are seeking a Lead, School Opening & Readiness to join our Enterprise Operations team.

This role is the primary driver of our regional infrastructure, responsible for the high-level governance and project management of renovations, technology deployments, and supply chain logistics across our Florida portfolio.

Rather than local site maintenance, this position focuses on the "readiness engine"—the end-to-end orchestration required to ensure that every campus is physically and technologically prepared to meet our network’s world-class standards.

The Lead, School Opening & Readiness serves as the central governor for all on-the-ground expansion activities, bridging the gap between strategic vision and operational reality.

The successful candidate will navigate complex project timelines, manage high-stakes vendor and executive relationships, and ensure that every renovation, classroom setup, and tech rollout is executed with the precision and institutional alignment necessary for a flawless school opening.

Lead the project management lifecycle for regional renovations and capital improvements, ensuring all construction and refresh projects are delivered on time, within budget, and in strict alignment with network design standards.
