With an ambitious Strategic Plan, our client is entering a defining new chapter in their journey — one shaped by innovation, aspiration and a commitment to inclusive excellence.

Our client is seeking an outstanding Executive Director of People & Culture to join their Executive Leadership Team and play a pivotal role in their journey to be exceptional. As a strategic leader, you will develop and deliver a People & Culture strategy that enables a high-performing workforce and an exceptional student experience.
