About the Role

The Company is seeking a Head of Student and Academic Life to join its dynamic, inclusive community. The successful candidate will have full responsibility for the internal, day-to-day aspects of student, faculty, and staff life, with a focus on shaping the conditions that enable flourishing and leading positive change in a forward-looking, innovative educational environment. This role is pivotal in maintaining the school's position at the forefront of independent education and offers an exceptional opportunity for an ambitious educator with aspirations of becoming a Head of School. The Head of Student and Academic Life will work closely with the Head of School and the Board, serving as a key strategic thought partner and gaining deep exposure to strategic planning, community leadership, operational decision-making, and cross-functional collaboration at the most senior levels.

The ideal candidate will be a transformational leader, committed to the values of the school, and dedicated to providing a supportive and enriching environment for all members of the community. This is a senior leadership role that requires a visionary approach, the ability to inspire and mentor others, and a clear understanding of the responsibilities and challenges of institutional leadership. The Head of Student and Academic Life will play a critical part in the school's mission, and as such, a background in education, a deep understanding of student and academic life, and a proven track record in a leadership position are essential.
