Dear Team, We are excited to announce that a Facilities Manager position is now open at The Brunswick School. If you are interested in expanding your responsibilities and contributing to the school in a new capacity, we encourage you to apply by no later than 2/9/26.

We're a growing, mission-driven early childhood and elementary program dedicated to creating exceptional learning environments for children from infancy through elementary years. As we scale to serve more families across multiple campuses, we're searching for a Director of Operations & Facilities.

What You'll Own and Build

Operational Excellence & Scalable Systems

• Design and continuously improve school-wide operations across all campuses — enrollment, attendance, purchasing, scheduling, records, compliance — so everything runs smoothly even as we grow rapidly
• Partner with campus leaders to diagnose root causes, implement lasting solutions, and eliminate recurring chaos
• Create clear, practical workflows that scale effortlessly and protect what already works beautifully

Facilities Leadership & Physical Environment

• Own end-to-end facilities operations: maintenance, vendor management, safety, cleanliness, emergency preparedness
• Lead renovation, construction, and capital improvement projects from vision through ribbon-cutting
• Set and maintain high standards for safe, welcoming, inspiring spaces that reflect our values

Technology & Infrastructure

• Oversee all tech systems, hardware, software, networking, and vendors
• Drive upgrades, security, and user-friendly implementations that make staff lives easier
• Lead vendor selection and RFPs with sharp business judgment

People, Collaboration & Accountability

• Partner closely with COO, leadership, HR, finance, admissions, and food service
• Supervise operations team members with clarity, high expectations, and genuine support
• Drive strong cross-departmental communication and follow-through — no silos, no dropped balls

Financial Stewardship, Compliance & Risk Management

• Manage insurance, audits, licensing, documentation, and regulatory excellence
• Monitor spending, negotiate vendors, and identify cost efficiencies without cutting corners
• Spot risks early and turn potential problems into prevented ones

Data-Driven Insight & Long-Term Thinking

• Build and maintain meaningful metrics, dashboards, and reporting for leadership
• Use data to optimize staffing, space, scheduling, and purchasing decisions
