Director of Policy, Stealth Educational Startup (Remote) - $200,000/year USD
Are you passionate about revolutionizing education by increasing access to charter schools for thousands of students? Join our dynamic education startup as we seek experienced government relations experts in California, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina.

Your mission is to cultivate and harness strong connections with state education officials and community stakeholders, ensuring our innovative school model reaches more students. This isn't about lobbying for policy shifts; it's about achieving tangible business results through targeted relationship-building and coalition formation in your area.
We're revolutionizing education with a model that produces remarkable outcomes. To scale our impact, we need someone who can dive deep into their state's educational landscape, navigate intricate approval processes, and forge the necessary alliances. You'll collaborate closely with state education leaders and rally community support to extend our reach to more students.
If you're eager to apply your government relations skills to expand educational access in your state, we want to hear from you!
