The Organization
TeachStart (www.teachstart.org) is an innovative pathway to teaching. Our belief is that every aspiring educator deserves a pathway to teaching that is affordable and that prepares them for classroom success. Unfortunately, too many aspiring teachers - especially teachers of color - are blocked by our current system.
That’s where we come in. TeachStart hires aspiring educators as full-time substitutes, providing best-in-class training and a debt-free credential. Two years in, we’ve recruited over 250 educators (making us one of CA’s largest teacher pipelines). Our educators are diverse: 70% are of color and 50% are first generation college students. We’ve proven that our model works, and that we can open the doors to teaching for the educator population that students need most.
We’re a growing start-up, and looking for flexible, creative, entrepreneurial leaders to join our team.
The Role
We’re seeking a Director of Growth to drive our expansion to new markets and to 4X our impact in the next 24 months. We aim to reach 1,000 educators in the next 2 years, across 3-4 states. We need an expert strategist who’s both a planner and a doer. In this role, you’ll:
You bring 8-10 years of experience leading growth, recruitment, or expansion for a for-profit or non-profit. You’re creative, team-oriented, and excited about building something new. You love a challenge and pivot easily and eagerly when context changes. Ideally, you also bring experience in K-12 education. You are a great lateral manager and influencer who can drive action and change across a matrixed organization. You are mission-driven and believe deeply in the potential of all students.
How to Apply
