Regional Vice President

Regional Vice President, Northeast

Specialized Education Services, Inc. (SESI) is seeking an accomplished executive leader to serve as Regional Vice President for the Northeast Region.

Reporting to the Senior Vice President, East Territory, the Regional Vice President provides strategic leadership across the Northeast region, overseeing a portfolio of approximately $26 million in annual revenue, 11 specialized education programs, and a team of two to three Regional Directors.

This executive is responsible for leading one of SESI's most visible regions by balancing operational excellence, educational leadership, financial stewardship, and strategic growth. Working collaboratively with Regional Directors, district leaders, executive leadership, and cross-functional partners, the Regional Vice President develops high-performing leaders, strengthens district partnerships, improves organizational performance, and ensures exceptional educational outcomes for students with specialized learning and behavioral needs.

This is far more than an operational leadership position. It is an opportunity to lead through influence, develop future leaders, expand educational partnerships, and help shape the future of specialized education across the Northeast. The successful candidate will inherit a strong operational foundation, the support and resources of a national organization, and the autonomy to lead the region with both strategic vision and entrepreneurial thinking.

This is a remote position, and candidates must reside in Connecticut, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island. The role requires regional travel of up to 40%. Compensation is commensurate with experience, with an anticipated base salary of $170,000–$200,000 and eligibility for an annual performance-based bonus of up to 30%.

As part of FullBloom, the Regional Vice President will also receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, paid time off, and professional development opportunities.

Relocation assistance may be available for qualified candidates.

Qualified candidates are encouraged to submit their résumé and cover letter via the Maligmat Search application portal, not through the SESI website.
