• Build and maintain meaningful metrics, dashboards, and reporting for leadership
• Use data to optimize staffing, space, scheduling, and purchasing decisions

Who We're Looking For
You're the kind of leader who:

• Has 5+ years of operations and/or facilities leadership in complex, multi-site environments
• Holds a Bachelors degree (advanced degree a plus)
• Is exceptionally organized and detail-oriented while never losing the big picture
• Thrives managing multiple priorities and timelines with calm, practical confidence
• Holds people (vendors and teammates alike) to high standards with fairness and directness
• Communicates with clarity and warmth, excellent written and verbal skills
• Is tech-savvy, systems-minded, and quick to learn new tools
• Brings optimism, accountability, and humility to everything, you celebrate team wins, own mistakes, and constantly seek better ways
• Is flexible for the occasional evening/weekend needs that come with buildings and children

Why This Role Will Matter (and Why It Might Be For You)
This isn't a maintenance job or a binder-filling exercise. This is a true leadership position where your thinking and execution will directly shape how safely, smoothly, and joyfully we grow. You'll stabilize critical foundations today while building capacity for tomorrow's expansion. Your work will strengthen staff experience, deepen family trust, improve financial health, and protect the culture we all cherish.

If you love creating order from complexity, take pride in quiet excellence, get energy from solving hard problems, and want to pour your talent into an organization that truly changes lives, we want to talk.

We especially encourage applications from people who are ambitious about impact, hungry to learn and grow, and humble enough to serve something bigger than themselves.
