Community Manager

Flourish Schools • Phoenix, AZ

8d • $50,000 - $65,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

Flourish Schools is a private school network in the greater Phoenix area built around project-based learning and student ownership. We’re growing fast, and we need someone to drive that growth in the field. The Community Manager owns four things: sourcing the community-based locations that will become our next schools, enrolling students, making sure our campuses meet Flourish School Standards, and organizing parents and community partners. This is a full-time role with real ownership and real targets.

Requirements

• A natural seller with real warmth. This is a sales job, but our culture runs on relationships, so you win by building trust
• An organizer’s instincts: you understand how parent voice turns into real advocacy power, you help others grow into leaders, and you’re a go-getter who makes things happen
• Belief in the power of grassroots organizing and real urgency about improving education for kids
• Background in education, sales, or strong operational execution
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, ambiguous startup environment
• Can execute on high-level direction without needing a step-by-step playbook
• Strong local ties, or the ability to build them quickly, with families and community leaders
• Effective on the phone, over email, and in person, including with people who’ve never heard of us
• Organized and relentless about follow-through
• Reliable vehicle for travel across the Valley
• Available weekdays, with some evenings and weekends for events and partner meetings

Nice To Haves

• Spanish is a bonus, not a requirement
• Organizing, campaign, or community advocacy experience is a plus

Responsibilities

• Research every community-based location in your target areas that could host a Flourish school, including existing schools, churches, YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, community centers, and college campuses
• Reach out by email, phone, and in person, and follow every lead until you know whether the space is a fit
• Build real partnerships with pastors, faith leaders, and community leaders, not just landlord relationships, by learning what their community wants and needs and aligning it with what Flourish can deliver
• Once a site agrees to move forward, hand it off to our Chief Growth Officer
• Drive enrollment by owning each family from first contact through enrollment, then hand them off to the Head of School
• Host open houses, workshops, and community events
• Test local marketing and community strategies, and scale what works
• Visit each campus every two weeks to ensure it meets Flourish School Standards
• Flag anything that falls short to our Chief Academic Officer
• Recruit and organize a network of Flourish parents and community supporters
• Hold 1:1 meetings with parents to build relationships and find emerging leaders
• Help parents understand the local education landscape, who makes decisions, and the power they have together
• Coach parents to step into leadership, and lead small, visible actions that show what an organized parent community can do
• Partner with operations, marketing, and admissions on growth
• Keep HubSpot accurate so the whole team can see where every family and partner stands
