VP Operations

Day in the Life of a Vice President of Operations

The Vice President of Operations leads center operations across multiple regions and states, directly managing Regional Directors and, through them, Program Directors and center teammates. The role carries two responsibilities of equal weight. The first is making sure centers are safe, compliant, efficient, and delivering high-quality care every day. The second is stepping back from the day-to-day to set direction, anticipate what is coming, and drive results across the full set of regions. The Vice President of Operations is a strategic, proactive leader who solves problems at the root, makes sound decisions, develops strong leaders, and holds the team accountable for results.

Regional Directors own the day-to-day performance of their centers. The Vice President of Operations owns the performance of the Regional Directors and the direction of the business across their regions. Success in this role is measured less by how many problems the Vice President personally solves and more by how well they build leaders and systems that solve problems consistently, spot risks and opportunities early, and move the business forward. The Vice President of Operations is expected to spend meaningful time looking ahead: planning, analyzing trends, and preparing the organization for what comes next.
