We’re looking for a dynamic leader for our new organization.

The right opportunity, the right time.

This role represents an exciting opportunity to lead the integration of two teams with
tremendous legacies of innovation and service as they support schools and leaders who are evolving to meet the needs of today’s students.

This merger is happening at an ideal time. There has never been a greater opportunity for a trusted thought leader to deliver a complete suite of tools, data insights, professional development opportunities, and community to help schools expand access and deliver more tailored experiences. As an organization backed by the decades of experience and passionate people of EMA and ERB, we will build an even more vibrant community of school leaders and champions.

We are looking for an accomplished leader to guide us into this new era, and we have retained executive search firm Korn Ferry to assist in this recruitment. To learn more about the CEO role and to apply, visit the full position posting.
