Ensure operational and fiscal health, balancing high-quality programming with smart management.
Build strong relationships with students, families, and staff to create a dynamic and supportive school culture.

What We're Looking For:

Experience with leading and executing enrollment growth.
Experience managing a budget, financial reporting, and tracking specific metric performance.
Proven ability to build culture and lead diverse teams.

Benefits:

We offer a package for full-time employees which generally includes:

Medical, dental, and vision plans
Vacation time (for certain positions) in accordance with company policy and state law
Accident and life insurance as well as short- and long-term disability

In addition to the above items, full-time and part-time employees can generally participate in the following benefits:

In addition to base salary, Fusion Heads of School are eligible for performance bonuses tied to KPI achievement.

Work Authorization:

Employment is contingent upon authorization to work in the United States. We do not provide visa sponsorship for this role.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, creed, color, national origin, ancestry, marital status, affectional or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, nationality or sex. Qualified applicants who have access to or contact with students or the public, who are responsible for the safeguarding of others’ well-being, and who work with little supervision in close proximity to others will be required to complete a criminal history check once a contingent offer of employment is made. Applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with local law. The nature and gravity of an offense, the length of time since the conviction, and the nature of the job in question are all considered, and criminal convictions do not automatically disqualify employment. Any discussion of criminal history will occur only after the background check is completed and a copy is provided to the applicant.

Min: USD $105,000.00/Yr. Max: USD $120,000.00/Yr.
