Position Overview
Marin Academy (MA), a trailblazer in progressive and experiential education, seeks an innovative, strategic, and collaborative leader to serve as its first Director of Enrollment Strategy. This Director joins MA at a moment of remarkable momentum. Over the past seven years, a disciplined endowment strategy has doubled the school's financial foundation from $15 million to $31 million. Vision 2030 and 2050's transformative campus plans have moved forward, including a new aquatic center and housing for Penn Fellows. MA Promise has rewritten the school's commitment to access: free tuition for any admitted student whose family earns under $100,000 annually.
Inheriting these schoolwide successes, along with a committed team and a devoted community of engaged thinkers and learners, the incoming Director will steer MA through its next chapter and establish the school as a thought leader in enrollment management.
