Vice President of Growth and Impact

The National Charter Schools Institute and Epicenter teams are seeking an experienced, high functioning, results-oriented Vice President of Growth & Impact to join our team. This person will help expand our influence and impact while continuing to develop and grow a dynamic array of tools and services strategically designed to strengthen performance and productivity in the education sector and across the organization.

Educational freedom is expanding. But its future will not be determined just by more choices. It will be determined by whether institutions have the capacity, discipline, and infrastructure to deliver on their promises—consistently, responsibly, and t is the work Epicenter exists to advance.

Epicenter is a SaaS platform that provides essential operating infrastructure that education organizations rely on to build capacity, execute with fidelity, and sustain excellence over time. Originally developed in service of charter school authorize rs, Epicenter now supports more than 4,000 schools across 36 states, Washington, D.C., Guam, and Puerto Rico. The foundation is strong. The opportunity ahead is exponential.

That’s why we are seeking an entrepreneurial executive to help ensure Epicenter becomes indispensable—by deepening value, driving adoption, and helping translate a bold vision into real-world results. The ideal candidate will have a track record of success, a passion for quality and excellence, and a steadfast commitment to changing the arc of education.

This is not a role for someone whose instincts begin and end with pipeline, pitching, and closing. This is a role for a leader who understands that meaningful growth is earned, through trust, credibility, and sustained value.

Epicenter is much more than a transaction for us. It is an institutional commitment, and its expansion and representation will not be entrusted to just anyone. Epicenter is essential operating infrastructure to be adopted, integrated, and relied upon. Its growth depends on value, alignment, and consistently delivering on our promises.

With a nod to Jim Collins, we believe great organizations are built when the right people take deep responsibility for the right work. For that reason, we view this role not as a fixed job description, but as a leadership opportunity to elevate excellence in education.
