Inspire. Educate. Lead Real-World Learning.

Do you enjoy creating hands-on experiences that connect classroom lessons to real-world skills? As the Education Simulation Lead Manager, you’ll oversee a lively, interactive simulation “town” where students make economic, consumer, and career decisions—learning about budgeting, working, saving, and giving back to their communities.

This role lets you make a real impact every day, guiding students as they develop financial responsibility, smart decision-making, and career readiness. You’ll lead a mission-driven, high-energy team and work in a creative, interactive environment where learning truly comes to life.

What You’ll Do
  • Run daily simulations that teach financial literacy and career skills.
  • Recruit, train, and support volunteers and facilitators.
  • Keep simulation software, storefronts, materials, and tech ready.
  • Coordinate schedules with schools and the Education & Volunteer Engagement Coordinator.
  • Collect feedback and improve programs to enhance student experiences.
  • Serve as the on-site point person for organization's programs.
  • Work closely with the Operations Manager and Associate Leads to ensure smooth operations.

What We’re Looking For
  • Bachelor’s degree in Education, Business, Nonprofit Management, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
  • 3+ years of experience in program coordination, experiential learning, or education management.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Passion for youth development, financial literacy, and hands-on learning.
  • Comfortable problem-solving on the spot, adapting quickly, and working in a lively, student-focused environment.
  • Flexible to work occasional evenings or special events.

What You’ll Get
  • Competitive salary + great benefits (medical, dental, 401k).
  • Generous PTO
  • The chance to make a real difference every day
