Community Manager

What you’ll do

Real Estate Sourcing

• Research every community-based location in your target areas that could host a Flourish school, including existing schools, churches, YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, community centers, and college campuses

• Reach out by email, phone, and in person, and follow every lead until you know whether the space is a fit

• Build real partnerships with pastors, faith leaders, and community leaders, not just landlord relationships, by learning what their community wants and needs and aligning it with what Flourish can deliver

• Once a site agrees to move forward, hand it off to our Chief Growth Officer

Growth & Enrollment

• Drive enrollment by owning each family from first contact through enrollment, then hand them off to the Head of School

• Host open houses, workshops, and community events

• Test local marketing and community strategies, and scale what works

Campus Operations

• Visit each campus every two weeks to ensure it meets Flourish School Standards

• Flag anything that falls short to our Chief Academic Officer

Parent Organizing and Community Organizing 

• Recruit and organize a network of Flourish parents and community supporters

• Hold 1:1 meetings with parents to build relationships and find emerging leaders

• Help parents understand the local education landscape, who makes decisions, and the power they have together

• Coach parents to step into leadership, and lead small, visible actions that show what an organized parent community can do

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with operations, marketing, and admissions on growth

• Keep HubSpot accurate so the whole team can see where every family and partner stands

What success looks like

• In your first 100 days: secure locations for all 4 to 6 new schools

• This fall: hold 1:1 meetings with parents and lead small actions that show what active parents can do. We’ll set specific organizing goals together once you’re on board.

• Enroll 180 students across those schools

• After that, you’ll be measured on ongoing growth and enrollment

What we’re looking for

• A natural seller with real warmth. This is a sales job, but our culture runs on relationships, so you win by building trust

• An organizer’s instincts: you understand how parent voice turns into real advocacy power, you help others grow into leaders, and you’re a go-getter who makes things happen

• Belief in the power of grassroots organizing and real urgency about improving education for kids

• Background in education, sales, or strong operational execution

• Comfortable in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment

• Can execute on high-level direction without needing a step-by-step playbook

• Strong local ties, or the ability to build them quickly, with families and community leaders

• Effective on the phone, over email, and in person, including with people who’ve never heard of us

• Organized and relentless about follow-through

• Reliable vehicle for travel across the Valley

• Available weekdays, with some evenings and weekends for events and partner meetings

• Spanish is a bonus, not a requirement

• Organizing, campaign, or community advocacy experience is a plus
