We’re Building the Future of Special Education. Join Us.

At EdTheory, we’re not just filling positions. We’re shaping the future of special education by connecting remarkable clinicians with the students and schools that need them most. Our work is deeply human, purpose-driven, and anchored in the belief that when you invest in people, you transform entire communities.

As we expand our national footprint, we’re seeking a visionary Senior Career Services Manager to elevate our talent ecosystem and build the pathways that bring exceptional educational clinicians into classrooms nationwide. This is more than a recruitment role. It’s an opportunity to influence the trajectory of the field, create life-changing career opportunities for practitioners, and strengthen the services students receive across the country.

In this role, you will lead the design of high-impact recruitment systems, champion best-in-class candidate experiences, and mentor a growing team dedicated to excellence. You will be the bridge between talented Speech-Language Pathologists and special education professionals and the meaningful work that awaits them.

This position is especially rewarding for Speech-Language Pathologists considering a transition into leadership, talent strategy, or operations. Your clinical insight and firsthand understanding of the field become powerful assets, allowing you to connect authentically with candidates, guide them with confidence, and shape a workforce that reflects the highest standards of care.

If you’re driven by purpose, inspired by people, and excited to innovate within a mission-centered organization, EdTheory is where you can build, grow, and make a lasting impact.

What You Will Do

• Lead, mentor, and inspire a team of recruiters dedicated to placing top-tier Speech-Language Pathologists and special education professionals
• Build and sustain high-quality talent pipelines across multiple states, ensuring we connect with committed, licensed professionals
• Deliver a warm, human-centered candidate experience that reflects our mission and values—from first conversation to successful placement
• Partner cross-functionally to align hiring strategies with organizational goals and emerging needs in schools
• Implement scalable systems, tools, and processes that improve efficiency, speed, and accuracy across all recruitment workflows

Develop and elevate your team, providing consistent coaching, feedback, and growth opportunities that strengthen our overall talent operations

What You Bring

• Experience in education, therapy staffing, or related clinical environments strongly preferred
• Based in the Bay Area with the ability to work onsite at our Pleasanton office up to five days per week as needed
• Excellent communication, organization, and relationship-building skills
• A builder’s mindset—proactive, thoughtful, and energized by high-growth, mission-driven environments

What You Can Expect

• Competitive base salary: $75,000–$80,000
• With total earning potential of up to $125,000 through performance-based incentives and commissions
• Performance-Based Stock Option Plan offering ownership in our growth
