School Director - Bala, Gwynedd, United Kingdom - Alliance for Decision Education

Description

The Alliance for Decision Education (the Alliance) is a nonprofit organization that is driving a revolutionary shift in the way we think about education.

There is no more important set of skills that we can teach today's youth than how to approach decision-making.

The Alliance offers a comprehensive total rewards package inclusive of competitive compensation that is commensurate with experience, generous Paid Time Off (PTO), an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), and employer-paid medical, vision, dental, life, and disability insurance.

Employees may also contribute to a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and a 401(k) plan with a dollar-for-dollar match up to 5%.

The Alliance offers equipment and supplies to work remotely as well as additional resources to help employees do their best work.

The Director of Education will oversee the scaling of Decision Education, transforming it into a thriving national movement within K-12 education.

This individual will launch our first-ever effort to build comprehensive, online, Decision Education curricular products.

They will cultivate a national network of K-12 educators, leaders, and field builders to support the expansion of our Decision Education standards, curriculum products, professional training, resources and initiatives for schools, teachers, and students.

The Director of Education should be visionary and flexible in their thinking, enjoy collaboration both across departments and with external stakeholders, and be comfortable in a start-up environment.

The Director of Education will report to the Interim Executive Director and will serve as head of the Education department.

We expect this individual to adhere to the Alliance's hybrid work schedule, working Tuesdays and Thursdays from our office in Bala Cynwyd, PA.
