Director of Growth Operations (The Execution Hub)

The Mission

The Society for Collegiate Leadership & Achievement (SCLA) is empowering students to build careers that matter. We have a 15-year legacy with members at over 850 schools nationwide. As of January 2025, we are operating with a brand-new team and a "Day 1" startup energy. We are fast, AI-forward, and looking for the person to own the engine that drives our expansion.

The Role: Architect + Operator

We don’t need a consultant; we need an Operator. You are the "Hub and Spoke" of our growth engine. This is a high-stakes execution role where you manage the pipeline for hundreds of prospective schools while simultaneously owning the invitation lifecycle for our ~100 active chapters. You are in the trenches. You craft the audience, traffic the leads, and ensure every invitation and follow-up is handled with 100% urgency and precision. Nothing and no one falls through the cracks because you are there to stop it.

What You’ll Own

• Pipeline Management: You own the "air traffic control" for hundreds of prospective school targets.
• Chapter Execution: You manage the invitation cycles for our ~100 existing chapters. You are on every line, ensuring no detail is missed.
• The "Nitty-Gritty" of Data: You thrive on mounds of data. You will meticulously track every account in Google Sheets while shepherding our move to a high-functioning internal CRM.
• SOP Construction: Working side-by-side with the President, you will build and evolve the SOPs for school acquisition from the ground up.
• AI-Forward Execution: You use AI tools to polish communications and automate workflows to move our mission "forward and up."

Who You Are

• A Reins-Holder: You’ve owned a growth or sales operation before. You weren’t just a "support" person; you were the one held personally accountable for the tracking and the outcomes.
• Detail-Obsessed: You find excitement in the details of hundreds of accounts. You know exactly where a chapter stands before anyone even asks.
• A Firestarter: You bring energy, organization, and a "Day 1" mentality. You don’t wait for a manual; you write it.

The Non-Negotiables

• Presence: Side-by-side, in-person collaboration in our Orlando office. 5 days most weeks up-front and then a hybrid set-up. No relocation is provided and preference given to local candidates.
• History: 4+ years of experience owning an operation. (Not for reps or assistants).
• Integrity: We perform deep-dive reference checks. We will speak with your previous supervisors to verify your daily involvement in the trenches and the systems you managed.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $80,000 – $110,000 salary (Based on experience)
• Bonus: Performance-based bonus structure
• Benefits: Full Health Insurance and Paid Time Off (PTO)
