What are the responsibilities and job description for the CENTER DIRECTOR - Big Brainbox - Performance-Based Compensation position at Big Brainbox?
Benefits:
Big Brainbox is a Human Readiness Platform — an applied learning center specializing in integrated STEM and Academic competency development. We build confidence, capability, and readiness in students through an experiential methodology designed for real-world outcomes. Our standards are institutional, our model is built for scale, and we hold STEM.org certification with a Best in STEM Top 5% designation.
Position Overview
This is not a traditional education role. There are no lesson plans here. No grading. No curriculum meetings.
This is a business leadership role inside an education company. You will own the full P&L of a Big Brainbox center — enrollment, operations, partnerships, staff, and revenue. You will build a pipeline, close families, activate a referral network, and be accountable to a number every single week. The teachers deliver the product. You build the business around them.
If you are a builder with hunger — someone who measures success in revenue, growth, and retention — read on. If you are looking for a salaried position for running the local center operations, this is not the role.
What You'll Own
Compensation
Base pay between $20–$25/hour, negotiated based on experience, plus a multi-stream performance commission structure with no cap on earnings. You will not start from zero. Our marketing pipeline generates qualified leads daily. Your job is to close them.
Five earning streams:
Specific commission rates are determined during the offer process based on experience and center targets. No center director in this market — at Mathnasium, Kumon, Sylvan, or any competitor — earns on a structure like this. They receive a flat salary. You receive a stake in what you build.
Additional Benefits And Employee Discounts Provided Through ADP.
