Vice President of Program Experience & Fidelity

Innovation Learning | Full-Time | Remote (U.S.) with approximately 25% travel

Who We Are

Innovation Learning provides out-of-school time programs at approximately 100 sites across nine states and the District of Columbia. Everything we do is built on our proprietary REACH framework — Relationships, Environment, Belonging, Consistency, and Purpose — designed around one outcome: building resilience in children.

We believe quality cannot live in one place. Our programs work because every element is intentional, interconnected, and protected by people who care deeply about what children actually experience each day. We are growing, and we are building the leadership structure to grow without losing what makes us who we are.

The Role

We are hiring a Vice President of Program Experience & Fidelity (PEF) — a new, executive-level operational leadership role created for one purpose: to be the dedicated guardian of what children experience inside our programs every day.

You will own the curriculum, the program schedules, the behavior model, and the data that tells us whether the experience children receive matches the experience we designed. You will sit on our Three-Pronged Operational Leadership Team, working side by side with the Vice President of Training & Quality Assurance (TQA) and the Vice President of Logistics, Licensing & Implementation (LLI) — three leaders, three distinct lanes, one shared accountability for program outcomes.

This is not a role for someone who wants to write curriculum from a distance. It is for someone who wants to know — site by site, schedule by schedule — that children are having fun, that the framework is being followed, and that resilience is being built on purpose.

What You Will Own

• Curriculum design, content & Core Values alignment — Ensure all curriculum reflects the REACH framework and our Core Values; set content standards; supervise and grow the curriculum team, beginning with our Curriculum Coordinator
• Program schedules — Develop and adapt schedules to each site's available time, customized in partnership with Area Directors; ensure every site's schedule includes all Innovation Learning framework components
• Positive Behavior Support (PBS) — Own PBS implementation at the site level; embed PBS in curriculum, schedules, and training content; consult on accommodations and behavior plans
• Training content — Own training content for curriculum, PBS, and program schedules, delivered through our organization-wide training platform
• Fidelity & quality data — Compile and analyze walk-through data from Area Directors; identify curriculum and fidelity trends; surface risks and drive continuous improvement as a primary co-owner of quality monitoring
• Materials — Own purchasing for curriculum materials, activity supplies, PBS tools, and Innovation Stations

How You Will Work

You will work in close, daily partnership with the other two Vice Presidents of Operations. PEF cannot develop a schedule without understanding what LLI can staff. TQA cannot design training without knowing what PEF needs staff to understand. The connections between the three roles are as important as the ownership within them — and outcomes belong to all three.

Who You Are

• Deep curriculum and program design expertise in out-of-school time, education, or youth development settings
• Working knowledge of Positive Behavior Support (or equivalent behavioral frameworks) and experience implementing it across multiple sites
• A track record of holding fidelity to a program model at scale — while adapting intelligently to the reality of each site
• Experience supervising staff and building a team
• Strong data instincts: comfortable compiling observation data, spotting trends, and turning findings into action
• A collaborative leader who shares data generously, solves problems jointly, and keeps the child's experience as the common ground
• Willingness to travel to program sites across our multi-state footprint (approximately 25%)
• 8+ years of program leadership experience

What We Offer

• $115,000 – $155,000 annual salary
• Unlimited PTO
• Dental and vision coverage
• An executive seat at the operational leadership table of a growing, mission-driven organization
• The opportunity to build a new function from the ground up
