ABOUT US
Big Brainbox is a Human Readiness Platform — an applied learning center specializing in integrated STEM and Academic competency development. We build confidence, capability, and readiness in students through an experiential methodology designed for real-world outcomes. Our standards are institutional, our model is built for scale, and we hold STEM.org certification with a Best in STEM Top 5% designation.
POSITION OVERVIEW
This is not a traditional education role. There are no lesson plans here. No grading. No curriculum meetings.
This is a business leadership role inside an education company. You will own the full P&L of a Big Brainbox center — enrollment, operations, partnerships, staff, and revenue. You will build a pipeline, close families, activate a referral network, and be accountable to a number every single week. The teachers deliver the product. You build the business around them.
If you are a builder with hunger — someone who measures success in revenue, growth, and retention — read on. If you are looking for a salaried position for running the local center operations, this is not the role.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Full enrollment funnel — from first contact to enrolled student. You close the families.
- Center P&L — revenue tracking, cost awareness, and weekly reporting to CEO
- Center operations — scheduling, staff oversight, student experience, daily execution
- B2B and clinical referral partnerships — school districts, therapy centers, pediatric clinics, and community organizations
- Staff management — all center-level staff report to you
- Student retention — your compensation is structured to reward it directly and continuously
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 3+ years in business development, center or franchise operations, retail management, or any revenue-generating role where you owned a number
- Demonstrated ability to close — families, partners, or institutional clients
- Experience building a referral or partnership network from the ground up
- Comfort owning a P&L and reporting revenue metrics to leadership weekly
- Experience managing a team of 5 or more
- Education background is a plus — hunger to build is non-negotiable
- Familiarity with neurodiverse learners is a strong plus — not required
The profile we're looking for exists in fitness franchise management, retail district leadership, healthcare practice operations, and childcare business ownership. If you have run a revenue-generating operation and lived on results — you belong here.
COMPENSATION
Base pay between $20–$25/hour, negotiated based on experience, plus a multi-stream performance commission structure with no cap on earnings. You will not start from zero. Our marketing pipeline generates qualified leads daily. Your job is to close them.
Five earning streams:
- Referral commission: 5–15% of first month's tuition for every student enrolled through your referral network, attributed via QR code tied to your employee ID
- Conversion commission: 5–20% of first month's tuition for every inbound lead you directly close
- Combined referral and conversion: If you generated the lead and closed it, both commissions stack — up to 35% of first month's tuition on a single enrollment
- Retention royalty: 1–5% monthly on every active enrolled student from Month 2 onward, capped at 12 months per student
- Upsell commission: 5–20% of first month's new package when a student upgrades to a higher-tier program
Performance accelerators: Directors who exceed quarterly enrollment targets unlock higher commission tiers across all streams, reviewed every quarter (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4).
Specific commission rates are determined during the offer process based on experience and center targets. No center director in this market — at Mathnasium, Kumon, Sylvan, or any competitor — earns on a structure like this. They receive a flat salary. You receive a stake in what you build.
Additional benefits and employee discounts provided through ADP.
