The Opportunity: Regional Vice President, Texas

Texas is experiencing unprecedented demand for specialized education services driven by increasing student populations, expanding identification of students requiring IDEA and Section 504 services, and growing needs in autism and behavioral support. School districts across the state are actively seeking experienced partners capable of delivering high-quality specialized programming while improving student outcomes.

Today, the region is positioned for transformational growth. The Regional Vice President will lead a business expected to grow from approximately $14 million in annual revenue to more than $55 million over the next several years, representing the launch of approximately 55 to 60 new specialized education programs across major metropolitan markets including Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, with continued expansion into additional communities throughout the state.

This is far more than an operational leadership role. It is an opportunity to build one of SESI's flagship regions by scaling leaders, strengthening operational excellence, cultivating long-term district partnerships, and ensuring exceptional program quality throughout a period of accelerated expansion. Success will require an executive who can balance disciplined execution with entrepreneurial thinking—someone equally comfortable leading complex operations, building trusted relationships with superintendents and district leaders, and identifying new opportunities to serve students and families.

Location and Compensation

This is a Texas-based remote position requiring regional travel of up to 40% (or as needed). Compensation for this role is commensurate with experience, with an anticipated base salary of $160,000–$190,000 and eligibility for an annual performance-based bonus of up to 30%.

As part of FullBloom, the Regional Vice President will also receive a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, paid time off, and professional development opportunities.

Relocation assistance may be available for qualified candidates.
