About The Position

Ubique Group is building one of the most exciting growth platforms in the K-12 and Early Education market, and we are looking for the leader who will make it happen.

This is a full P&L leadership role with a clear mandate to grow the Education business through Flash Furniture and Bright Beginnings. This is not an account management role. It is a general management opportunity. You will set the vertical strategy, align the channels, build new routes to market, and personally drive the relationships and deals that matter most. Ubique Group is a fast-growing consumer and commercial products company behind brands including Flash Furniture, Bright Beginnings, Merrick Lane, Emma + Oliver, and Martha Stewart. Our Education vertical spans K-12, Early Education, and institutional buyers, and we are investing meaningfully in product, marketing, and sales infrastructure to win in this space.
