Director of Educational and Clinical Services
Groves Learning Organization | St. Louis Park, Minnesota

At Groves Learning Organization, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and discover what's possible.

• How do we build on our strongest programs while improving the experience for students, families, and staff?
• How can we create more effective systems and sustainable operating models?
• What new services, partnerships, or approaches could expand our reach and impact?
• How do we position the Learning Center for long-term financial health and responsible growth?
• How can we work more closely across Groves to create a connected experience for the families we serve?
• We don't expect you to arrive with every answer.

We do expect you to know how to find answers, make thoughtful decisions, and turn good ideas into meaningful progress.

• A genuine passion for education and student success. You understand the difference exceptional educational services can make for students and families.
• Deep operational leadership experience. You've managed budgets, staffing, complex workflows, service delivery, and competing priorities—and you know how to make systems work better.
• A builder's mindset. You've launched a program, developed a service, redesigned an operating model, established new systems, or helped an organization grow. You know how to move something from an idea to a sustainable reality.
• Strategic and financial judgment. You can connect program decisions to resources, performance, capacity, and long-term organizational health.
• Experience leading through change. You can bring stability without standing still, build trust without avoiding accountability, and help people move forward when the path isn't fully defined.
• Strong stakeholder leadership. You're comfortable collaborating across disciplines, navigating different perspectives, and building alignment with educators, families, executives, community partners, and other stakeholders.
• A systems perspective. You recognize how staffing, safety, space, processes, and service models come together to shape the student and family experience.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree in education, leadership, business, nonprofit management, or a related field preferred.
• Significant leadership experience in education, student services, human services, or another complex, people-centered environment.
• Demonstrated responsibility for budgets, operations, staffing, and multidisciplinary teams.
• Experience building, expanding, or substantially improving programs, services, or operating systems.
• Understanding of students with learning disabilities and attentional differences, and the ability to lead specialized professionals while respecting their expertise.
• Experience managing relationships across multiple departments, disciplines, or organizational partners.
