About the Role

The Company is seeking a Vice President to lead the strategy, growth, and execution of its K–12 education business. The role is responsible for setting market and channel priorities, developing measurable sales and margin plans, and growing business through dealers, representatives, strategic accounts, and direct opportunities. The leader will build relationships with school districts, architects, designers, and purchasing organizations, while bringing market insight into product, pricing, and marketing decisions. They will also lead and develop the sales team, coordinate internal support for major projects, and improve processes, data, and accountability. Candidates should have senior sales, business development, or general-management experience in K–12 furniture, contract furniture, education products, architectural products, or a related market. They should demonstrate success with growth strategies involving dealer and representative channels, complex projects, and specification-driven sales. Strong team leadership, commercial judgment across revenue and margins, and the ability to turn market insight into practical plans and measurable results are essential. A bachelor’s degree is preferred, or equivalent relevant leadership experience.
