Edgility Search

ORGANIZATION  TEACH was founded by the US Department of Education in 2015. Its mission is to end the national teacher shortage and help talented people from all backgrounds enter the teaching profession. TEACH serves as the recruiting arm of the teaching profession, partnering directly with State Departments of Education, school districts and teacher preparation programs. TEACH accomplishes its mission with an innovative program model, which includes: - Rebranding the teaching profession through an ongoing PSA ad campaign; - Deploying a comprehensive recruiting system, based on best practice research; - Supporting prospects to get over hurdles and barriers that would stop them from becoming teachers; and  - Meeting young people where they are - i.e. online, on their phones and on social media. TEACH currently partners with State Departments of Education, universities and schools in ten states/ metropolitan areas. Partnering regions include New York, Connecticut, South Carolina, North Carolina, Minnesota, New Mexico, Colorado, Houston, San Antonio and Dallas-Fort Worth.  To learn more about TEACH, please see these slides. Because our website is our “product” (i.e., the toolset we provide to prospective future teachers), it does not have much information about the organization for potential future teammates. In lieu of a public-facing website, this document is designed for that purpose. OPPORTUNITY  TEACH is seeking its inaugural Vice President, External Relations. As an organization that is 80% supported through earned revenue contracts with State Departments of Education (also known as State Education Agencies or SEAs), TEACH’s funding strategy is largely led through these ongoing partnerships. This individual will be responsible for building and maintaining these external relationships and partnerships that ensure the organization meets its annual revenue goals. TEACH offers a fully remote working environment, with a culture of care and support for every staff member. The organization is deeply committed to diversity, equity and inclusion and works to ensure its programs, operations and decision making are aligned to these core values.  This is an exciting opportunity for a savvy partnership manager and skilled relationship builder to help propel TEACH into its next chapter, by growing its reach to new communities, and strengthening its depth in the communities it currently serves.  RESPONSIBILITIES Key Responsibilities of the Vice President, External Relations are: Business development for new states (50%) - Developing TEACH’s “new state business development pipeline,” including: - Building connections to get initial meetings and pitching TEACH to new partners. - Developing the strategy and actions to build new relationships and secure ongoing contracts. - Overseeing the processes and systems to enable TEACH’s new business development work. - Setting up and overseeing a system to track legislation and state budgets to identify opportunities for partnership. Raising TEACH’s profile and reputation among decision-makers (of any potential contract with TEACH) and people/organizations who could influence said decision-makers (10%) - Overseeing a process to track and get TEACH to speak at industry conferences. - Meeting with advocacy groups and getting TEACH on the radar of advocacy groups, so that the organization’s model is included in their public and private recommendations about how to address teacher recruitment. Maintain and renew existing funding (25%) - Track all contract renewals and ensure that there is an effective strategy for securing ongoing funding. - In states where TEACH does not yet have legislated funding, oversee the strategy and process to secure legislated funding (including potentially managing a lobbyist). - In states TEACH has legislated funding, oversee the process to protect, maintain, or increase that funding (including potentially managing a lobbyist). Fundraising from foundations (15%) - Secure grants to support general operating funds, funds for special projects, or funds to subsidize SEA contracts.

Company: Confidential (Wellness/Aesthetics Franchisor) Location: Houston, TX (relocation offered); Remote (U.S.) considered for the right candidate Employment: Full-Time Compensation: The budgeted pay band for this role is $175,000 to $200,000 (including base + incentives/bonus). The candidate’s skills and fit alignment will be considered. Travel: 5 to 10% The Opportunity We’re hiring a hands-on finance leader to run accounting and reporting for a growing franchisor. This is not a large-team corporate VP role. It’s ideal for a “green” VP of Finance who rose through accounting (controller-track), has strong close discipline, and is ready to expand into broader finance ownership while staying close to the work. You’ll partner directly with the CEO as the day-to-day finance lead, building a reliable close and lender-ready reporting cadence, tightening practical controls, and translating the numbers into clear decisions. Success looks like taking finance from “managed” to “operating at a high standard,” with real ownership, high visibility, and increasing responsibility as you help shape what the finance function becomes next. What You’ll Own Day-to-Day Finance + Accounting (QuickBooks) - Own full-cycle accounting in QuickBooks: AP, AR, reconciliations, payroll coordination, month-end close, and balance sheet integrity. - Establish and maintain a disciplined close calendar and reporting cadence. Franchisor + Multi-Unit Reporting - Lead franchisor-specific finance operations: royalty/franchise fee tracking, unit economics reporting, and system-level KPI reporting. - Ensure accurate handling of high transaction volume and liabilities tied to memberships, gift cards, and deferred revenue. 4-Wall Accounting (Corporate-Owned Locations) - Own the books for 4 corporate-owned locations: location-level P&L and balance sheet ownership, accrual discipline, reconciliations, and monthly reporting. - Build location-level reporting leadership can trust: by location, key drivers, and unit economics. Lender + Board-Ready Reporting - Prepare lender reporting packages (and covenant support where applicable) on a consistent monthly cadence; maintain tie-outs and documentation. - Support board materials and executive reporting that turns numbers into decisions. Audit Leadership + Tax Coordination - Manage audit process end-to-end and coordinate with external tax provider; maintain GAAP-compliant policies and documentation. Controls + Risk Management - Design and maintain practical internal controls appropriate for a lean team: approvals, vendor setup, payment workflows, and access controls. - Drive process and systems improvements (e.g., spend management tools such as Ramp) without disrupting close discipline. Additional Scope - Support benefits administration and insurance coordination: open enrollment, invoice/deduction reconciliation, vendor management. - Produce a weekly CEO finance update: cash, exceptions, risks, and decision asks. Requirements Required - Active CPA license (required). - Demonstrated franchisor finance experience (required). Franchisor HQ strongly preferred; franchisee multi-unit and membership/recurring-revenue analogs considered if complexity is comparable. - Proven progressive accounting/finance leadership with direct ownership of close and reporting. - Hands-on QuickBooks expertise (required); strong GAAP foundation; advanced Excel proficiency. - Direct ownership of lender reporting and audit management. - Experience operating in lean environments with a strong control mindset. - Comfort operating solo; ability to define and manage fractional support without losing controls. - Ability to support 5 to 10% travel as needed. Preferred - Experience with multi-entity structures and class/location reporting discipline. - Experience implementing spend management tools and workflow automation. - Experience preparing board materials and communicating to non-finance executives. - Prior experience owning 4-wall/location-level accounting and reporting (unit economics and location P&L rigor). If the following apply to you, you are likely not the best fit for this role… - Strategic VP only: if you are seeking a large-team role with no day-to-day ownership. - No CPA or franchisor finance experience. - Prefer to recommend rather than operate: this role requires personal ownership of the close and reporting cadence. Benefits Total Compensation - Total Compensation: $175,000 to $200,000 (budgeted pay band, including base + incentives/bonus) - Location: Houston, TX (relocation offered); Remote (U.S.) considered for the right candidate - Employment: Full-Time - Travel: 5 to 10% Hiring Process Apply → alignM!NT Review → Recruiter Interview → Client Interview(s) → Offer → placeM!NT placeM!NT is supporting this confidential client with recruitment.
