About the role

HavenStone in Colorado Springs seeks a Founding Director to lead startup operations from pre-opening to opening and ongoing daily management. You will own scheduling, licensing readiness, enrollment, curriculum quality, and center culture, while building relationships with families and staff. You will recruit, coach, and retain teachers, drive systems for safety and excellence, and partner with families to create a thriving community. This is a high-visibility, ownership-driven opportunity.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
