• System Integration & Data Bridges: Act as the master architect of our ecosystem. Ensure our tools seamlessly "talk" to each other by identifying the best integration methods—whether that means developing custom APIs or finding smart, alternative systems to extract, copy, and materialize data.

• Human-Centric Change Management: Drive digital transformation with high emotional intelligence. Understand the human consequences of tech adoption and lead cross-functional initiatives to support, train, and unite local school teams around new standards.
• Data Mastery: Design and deploy robust BI dashboards (Looker Studio, Power BI) to provide the Executive Committee with surgical precision on key metrics (Revenue, Retention, Academics).
• Team & Partner Leadership: Lead and grow the central Business Efficiency team using OKRs, while managing external tech providers with a high standard for ROI and delivery.

The Ideal Candidate

• The "Geek Mindset" with Practical Agility: You are genuinely passionate about technology, systems, and data pipelines. You don't just recommend expensive software; you know how existing code works and prefer building smart, lightweight, and value-driven solutions.
• Advanced Integration Skills: Proven technical capability in evaluating IT infrastructures and building data bridges (API development, data extraction, script writing, middleware).
• AI Forward & Solution-Oriented: A natural problem-solver, constantly looking at how AI can optimize workflows, while keeping a sharp eye on data privacy and practical field limitations.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to navigate complex human dynamics, practice influence management, and lead teams across diverse geographical locations without direct reporting lines.
• Language Skills: Full professional proficiency in English is mandatory. The ability to work and communicate effectively in French is highly valued.
