About the Role
The Company is seeking a new Head to lead its inclusive, dynamic, and academically rigorous institution. The successful candidate will be an exceptional leader with a personal commitment to the values and joys of Judaism, and the ability to foster a strong sense of community and connection. The Head will be responsible for upholding the school's mission, which emphasizes leadership, creativity, critical thinking, and Jewish values, while also ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of the school. This role demands a highly relational, high EQ leader who can set and maintain high standards of excellence, both in the academic and social-emotional development of the students. The new Head will inherit a strong faculty and administrative team and will be expected to continue the school's tradition of academic rigor, while also expanding and enhancing the school's extracurricular offerings. Candidates for the Head position at the company should have a proven track record of success in educational leadership, with a focus on both Judaic and secular studies. The role requires a collaborative leader who can work with the Board, faculty, and parents to make inclusive decisions and ensure the best outcomes for the students. The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker, a strong communicator, and a dedicated partner in the school's growth and development. Experience in enrollment management, marketing, and fundraising is essential, as is the ability to work with the rabbinic leadership to maintain the quality of the Judaic program. The Head should be a visible and active presence in the school community, from the classroom to the athletic field, and be prepared to handle the challenges of school leadership with enthusiasm, resilience, and a sense of humor.
