Early Learning Director – Strategic Partnerships & Sales
About The Position
You’ve spent years leading classrooms, centers, and teams. You know the pressures early learning directors face: staff shortages, burnout, ratios, and last-minute call-offs that disrupt quality care. Now you’re ready for something new. Jovie is hiring a Veteran Early Learning Director who wants to leverage their expertise, credibility, and industry relationships in a consultative sales role, helping early learning centers solve one of their biggest challenges: reliable substitute staffing. This is not a desk job. It’s a relationship-driven role where your background opens doors, your reputation builds trust, and your insight helps centers stay open, compliant, and confident, even when staffing is unpredictable.

- Has served as a Center Director, Assistant Director, or Multi-Site Leader
- Is well-known and well-respected in the local early learning community
- Enjoys relationship-building, networking, and consultative conversations
- Is ready to transition out of center management while staying connected to the field
- Is motivated by impact, influence, and professional growth
