  • You bring 5-7 years of progressive experience in special education, including at least 2 years managing or leading a team of educators
  • You hold state certification or licensure in special education or special education administration (or the equivalent)
  • You are an expert in IDEA, Section 504, ADA, and the federal and state regulations that govern special education service delivery
  • You are a coach at heart: you set clear expectations, give direct and supportive feedback, and genuinely invest in the growth of the educators around you
  • You have experience building or improving instructional systems and compliance processes within a functional team or program
  • You communicate with clarity and consistency, whether you're working with your team, district partners, or colleagues across departments
  • You have designed or facilitated professional development that builds educator capacity in inclusive instruction and IEP implementation
  • You thrive in remote-first, fast-paced environments and bring strong organizational skills to managing multiple priorities
  • You have experience with virtual or blended learning models (a plus)
