About the Role

The Company is seeking a Founding Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead a new coalition of charter school operators in New York. This pivotal role is not about maintenance; it is an opportunity to build a premier statewide advocacy organization that will drive political strategy, unite charter leaders, and mobilize families to ensure their voices are heard in the evolving political and regulatory landscape. The CEO will be responsible for shaping a focused, winnable advocacy agenda, navigating the political environment to secure meaningful policy wins, and building durable infrastructure across advocacy, organizing, communications, and coalition-building. The ideal candidate will have deep political judgment, a track record of successful advocacy, and the ability to earn trust across a diverse set of independent, mission-driven organizations. The successful CEO will be at the forefront of defining the future of charter schools in New York, with a clear commitment to the families that charter schools serve. This is a role for a leader with startup energy, a clear sense of how to translate values into strategy, and a dedication to winning hard fights on behalf of kids and families. The role is critical at a time when academic performance alone is not enough to secure the future of high-quality schools, and the political environment is shifting. The CEO will work to strengthen access for families today while building the advocacy infrastructure to protect and expand opportunities over the next decade. If you are a builder, a strategist, and a champion for students and families, this is a chance to lead one of the most important education efforts in the country and to harness the power of a large and diverse community into a cohesive, focused, and unstoppable alliance.
