SVP of Campus Readiness $400,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
You've built operational excellence by being the best operator in the room. You know how to run a tight facility, fix what's broken, and hold standards personally. This role requires you to build something harder.
You'll lead a team of VPs responsible for sustaining 35+ premium campuses. Not by doing the work. By designing the systems, setting the quality bars, and developing the people who carry them. The measure of your success isn't your own output — it's whether the team delivers green status across every campus without needing to ask you.
The playbook doesn't exist yet. You'll design AI-first dashboards that surface problems before VPs need to look for them, frameworks that make quality standards enforceable without constant oversight, and accountability structures that let VPs own 7+ campuses each without dropping details. When it works, you'll know it: escalations dry up, audits come back clean, and the team runs without you in the room.
The arc is clear. The first year is build — dashboards, playbooks, vendor performance trackers, quality standards created from scratch. Once systems are live and VPs are operating autonomously, the role shifts: portfolio-level CapEx strategy, team succession planning, and optimization decisions that lift performance across all 35+ campuses at once.
If you're ready to lead the team that holds premium standards across a growing campus portfolio at scale, apply now.
What you will be doing
- Leading, developing, and managing a team of VPs who each own sustain operations across 7+ campuses (standard) or 3+ campuses (large sites), with clear performance metrics and regular coaching
- Designing AI-first operational systems — predictive maintenance dashboards, vendor performance trackers, and portfolio-wide playbooks — that enable VPs to manage their portfolios without escalating to you
- Defining measurable quality standards and SLAs for all facility metrics, then conducting regular portfolio audits to enforce them and close gaps before they reach students or staff
- Making portfolio-level resource allocation decisions: VP assignments, vendor strategy, and CapEx priorities in partnership with business and finance stakeholders
- Identifying and resolving VP performance issues early through data-driven reviews and coaching, building a team that hits green status autonomously
What you will NOT be doing
- Running campus operations yourself — your VPs handle the on-the-ground work; your job is the systems and the team that deliver results
- Being the escalation point for every problem — well-designed systems and empowered VPs eliminate the "ask the SVP" bottlenecks that drain ops leaders at your level
- Solving problems one campus at a time — every framework, quality bar, and fix you design applies across all 35+ locations, not just the one in front of you
- Capping your impact at a handful of sites — every system, standard, and accountability framework you build here scales across 35+ campuses from day one
- Reinventing solutions from scratch — once playbooks are built, VPs execute them; you iterate based on portfolio-wide data, not individual site fires
Key responsibilities
Lead a team of VPs to maintain consistent quality standards across a 35+ campus portfolio through scalable systems and rigorous performance management.
Candidate requirements
- Based in the United States, legally authorized to work without visa sponsorship
- Willing and able to travel 35–50% to U.S. campuses for team management, audits, and strategic oversight
- Experienced in facilities, operations, or multi-site management with at least 3+ years leading a team of managers or VPs
- Demonstrated track record of building operational systems and frameworks that enabled a team to scale across 10+ locations
- Experience setting measurable quality standards and holding teams accountable through data-driven performance management
- Hands-on experience using AI and automation tools (such as GPT, Airtable, Retool, or Zapier) to build operational systems or manage team workflows
- Experience managing CapEx budgets and making resource allocation decisions across a multi-site portfolio
Nice to have
- Background in premium multi-site environments with uncompromising facility standards — luxury hospitality, UHNW residential management, flagship retail, or private K-12 education
- Experience leading a team through a build-to-operate transition: taking a portfolio from ad hoc practices to systematized, scalable processes
- Prior role as regional director of operations, director of facilities, or similar, with accountability for both team performance and system design across 10+ locations
