About The Position

Think Zone is looking for a hands-on leader to take ownership of our Redwood City Learning Center. This isn't a traditional administrative role—you'll have the opportunity to manage the day-to-day business of a growing education center, build relationships with local families, lead a team of tutors, and help drive student enrollment and center growth. If you're early in your management career and looking for an opportunity where you can take ownership, build leadership experience, and grow with an expanding organization, this could be a great next step. Think Zone is a growing network of Bay Area learning centers helping K–8 students strengthen their math skills, confidence, and independent thinking. We combine thoughtfully designed curriculum, technology-driven learning tools, and dedicated in-person support to create personalized learning experiences for students and families. As we continue expanding across the Bay Area, we're looking for people who want to grow with us and help shape what the Think Zone learning center experience becomes.
