VP of External Affairs, Stealth Educational Startup; Remote

Families choose homeschooling for many reasons, and they carry real costs to do it. Funding for them follows trust. Donors give to people they believe, and partners open their audiences only to leaders they'd vouch for. This role is that leader: the public voice for homeschooled students' scholarships, accountable for turning that credibility into donations.

Stealth Educational Startup is hiring for a nonprofit Scholarship Granting Organization raising K-12 scholarships for homeschooled students. Starting January 1, 2027, individuals can claim a federal tax credit for cash donations to approved Scholarship Granting Organizations in participating states. You will build the external engine that turns that opening into funding: a credible media presence, speaking platforms and partnerships with companies, associations, organizations and content creators.

As the VP of External Affairs, you set the agenda and own the result. You decide which partners to pursue and which stages to take, negotiate and sign the agreements, and activate them into donor campaigns. Then you read the attribution data and put your effort where it raises money. Accuracy is part of the job. Every public claim you make or approve about homeschooling approaches, family costs, state rules and tax treatment has to hold up, and anything that needs legal review gets it.

A separate operations lead or partner runs scholarship awards, compliance and finances, so your attention stays external. This is full-time remote work in the United States, 40 hours per week. If you want to be the face of a mission and be held to the dollars it raises.

• Serve as the principal spokesperson for homeschooled students' scholarships: pitch reporters, handle press requests, lead TV, radio, print, podcast and online interviews, and headline conferences, webinars and community events.
• Set the message: produce video, social content and plain-language explanations for families, donors and partners, checking facts and using approved messaging and legal review.
• Build the partnership portfolio: personally identify, approach and win companies, organizations, associations and media influencers who reach homeschooling families and their supporters.
• Negotiate and close the agreements, including paid creator agreements, that commit partners to asking their members, employees, customers and followers to donate, then launch the outreach.
• Run the results: track active partners, audience reach, attributable donations, media coverage and speaking engagements, report them honestly, and redirect effort to what produces donations.

• Running day-to-day scholarship awards, compliance or finances. A separate operations lead or partner owns that work.
• A ceremonial spokesperson role that delegates appearances and partnership outreach. You do the work, and you are judged by the donations you can attribute.
• Calling visibility or a signed agreement a success without looking at activation and donation results.
• Giving individual tax advice or making unsupported promises about program approval, student eligibility or covered expenses.

Increase donations for K-12 scholarships for homeschooled students by owning the organization's public credibility and the partnerships that convert it into funding.

• You know homeschooling from real experience. You can explain the different approaches families take, what they cost and how state rules differ, whether you learned that as an educator, community leader, volunteer, co‑op organizer or family member. Being a parent isn’t required.
• You're at ease in front of a microphone or camera. You've given live and on‑camera interviews as an official…
