Higher Ground is bringing on a Regional Operations and Admissions Lead to join our regional support team. The Regional Operations and Admissions Lead plays a vital role of supporting campuses within our Guidepost Montessori (Infant-Kindergarten and Guidepost Academy (Elementary-High School) networks. This support can take a variety of forms including but not exclusive to training, coaching and directly leaning in with school teams to ensure high-quality curriculum delivery and learning environments, proactive admissions and retention efforts, operational excellence that leads to a next level parent and staff experience, community engagement and outreach to build an enduring admissions and talent pipeline.
Overall, the Regional Operations and Admissions Lead helps the schools in their region achieve greater school health by caring deeply about people, programs, and profitability. As a mission-driven organization, the profitability of each individual school is the tangible realization of our mission.
We’re scaling quickly and are a network of over 150 schools. We’re looking for an individual who is both a big-picture thinker capable of surveying our vast landscape of school needs and a hands-on doer with the skills to quickly solve problems and scale practical, effective practices that help us have thriving and profitable schools.

That doesn’t mean you do all the things, but it does mean you make sure all the things get done.
If you’re excited about working in an entrepreneurial environment and building capacity in others to enable widespread change in education today, this role is for you.
The Regional Operations and Admissions Lead will be a member of a small but mighty regional team supporting a portfolio of about a dozen schools. This team functions as a cross-functional powerhouse alongside school teams to own the holistic success of each school. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
