We open in August 2027 with grades 6 and 7 and 100 scholars. Every dollar of our budget, every teacher contract, and every promise we have made to this community rests on those 100 seats being filled by families who chose us on purpose. Right now there is no one whose whole job is filling them. That is this job.

This is not a marketing role and it is not an admissions desk. It is an operating role: you own a funnel that has to produce roughly 1,712 conversations, 428 applications, and 122 registered families to seat 100 scholars in August 2027 — and you own it week by week, in the neighborhoods of Mableton, Austell, and South Cobb, from October 2026 through the first day of school.

You are building this from scratch. There is no enrollment team to inherit. There is a Hub Spot pipeline, a lead source, a founder who will sit in every information session with you, and 24 weeks.

Power Public Schools is a tuition-free public charter school opening in August 2027 in South Cobb, Georgia, starting with grades 6 and 7 and growing from there. We believe ALL people possess a power of intrinsic intelligence, and our mission is to excite, enlighten, and empower ALL our students to exemplify their excellence. We are pre-launch — a small founding team building the school, the systems, and the community trust at the same time.

This is a high-ownership, field-based role working directly with the Founder to put 100 scholars in seats and keep them there.

• Deliver approximately 71 new leads and 18 completed applications every week for 24 straight weeks — and know your position against that pace every Monday morning, without being asked.
• Report a single honest number at the weekly enrollment meeting: are we on track for 100 scholars on day one, and if not, where is the gap and what closes it.
• Replace our planning assumptions with measured reality in your first three weeks. Nobody has knocked a door for Power yet. Your logged results become the quota.

• Coordinate and execute recruitment events, information sessions, virtual tours, community events, canvassing, and other outreach activities as assigned.
• Support event preparation, materials, family follow-up, attendance tracking, and post-event conversion activity.
• Represent POWER professionally and enthusiastically in the community.

• Build and work the turf. Roughly 7 doors in 100 hold a child entering 6th or 7th grade in 2027 — where you stand matters more than how hard you work. You will spend your hours in youth-dense settings with permission (after school and childcare pickup, church children's ministry, youth sports, rec centers), not on random residential blocks.
• Secure written permission before every event, table, and complex.
• Recruit, train, schedule, and hold accountable the part-time Student Recruiter and a corps of volunteer families and community partners.
• Make the ask correctly: at every…
