Power Public Schools is launching in August 2027 with a bold, ambitious vision. The Executive Director is building a school from the ground up while managing relationships with the board, community partners, external advisors, and a rapidly growing team. Right now, too much of her time goes to scheduling, inboxes, administrative detail, and follow-through that someone else should own. This role exists to take that weight off — so the Executive Director can stay on the few things only she can do: instructional leadership, culture-building, and strategy.

This is a role for someone who can bring greater structure, leverage, and operational discipline to a fast-moving founder’s office. You’ll strengthen the systems, rhythms, and decision-support that help the Founder stay focused on the highest-value work, while ensuring priorities move forward with consistency and follow-through. It’s ideal for someone who is proactive, highly discerning, and able to operate as a trusted extension of a leader — anticipating needs, improving how work gets done, and creating order without adding bureaucracy.

• Salaried base in the range above, set by experience and prior executive-support scope.
• Employer-matched retirement.
• Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Paid leave aligned with school calendar; additional closure dates for 12-month role.
• Professional development support and direct access to the Executive Director.

Power Public Schools is a public charter school opening in August 2027 to serve students and families in South Cobb, Georgia. We will launch with grades 6–7 and grow intentionally over time to serve students through grade 12. Our community-designed POWER 5 Innovation Model combines the Georgia Standards of Excellence with personalized, AI-empowered learning, project-based community passion projects, and strong early college pathways.

We bring a tech-forward, high-support, startup mindset to public education, with a focus on closing opportunity gaps and preparing every scholar for college and beyond. Our growth is deliberately paced to protect quality, deepen relationships, and build with care. Our founding team includes experienced educators, entrepreneurs, and community leaders committed to reimagining what public education can be.

This is a high-ownership, high-trust role working directly alongside the Executive Director to protect her time, reduce friction, and keep the school launch moving forward with clarity and care.

• Own the founder's calendar end-to-end — schedule, sequence, and defend focus time.
• Resolve conflicts before they reach the founder, and hold the line on priorities.
• Build protected focus blocks into the week and keep them protected.
• Anticipate what's coming and prepare the founder for it — meetings, decisions, deadlines.
• Handle correspondence on the founder's behalf with executives, partners, vendors, and clients.
• Filter, prioritize, and route inbound communication so the founder sees what matters, when it matters.
• Draft clear, professional messages, correspondence, and documentation.
• Represent the founder and Power Public Schools with poise, discretion, and sound judgment.

• Support team at community and enrollment events across Mableton, Austell, and South…
