EARLY LEARNING VENTURES

Executive Director

Denver Metro (Hybrid)

Early Learning Ventures has built the infrastructure — a proven technology platform active in 20 states, a pioneering shared services model, and a national childcare provider network. Now we need the leader who scales it nationally.

This is an executive role with real teeth, you will own the strategy, the growth, and the outcomes.

About ELV

Founded in 2009, ELV is a nationally recognized nonprofit that equips childcare providers with Alliance CORE, our licensing-compliant child care management system, and a suite of shared business services that reduce administrative burden, improve quality, and drive financial sustainability. We pioneered the Child Care Shared Services model. It’s working. Now we go bigger.

The Role

You will own ELV’s growth. That means:

Driving national expansion of our business services across new states and markets
Growing earned revenue and reducing dependence on philanthropic funding
Leading product strategy for Alliance CORE and our technology platform
Managing a high-performing team and a disciplined P&L
Serving as ELV’s primary face to partners, funders, and the sector
Working closely with the Board on strategy and governance

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need a nonprofit background. You need:

A track record of scaling an organization, business unit, or technology platform
Genuine tech fluency — you understand SaaS, product, and data-driven decisions
Business development experience: pipelines, partnerships, revenue growth
Financial accountability — you’ve owned a P&L or equivalent
Strong people leadership at a senior level
Real passion for equity, early childhood, and the communities we serve

You’re a builder. You’re energized by travel and national relationship-building. And you believe that access to quality early learning changes lives.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary: $150,000–$170,000

Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, vision, company-paid life and disability insurance, 401(k) with match, EAP, bonus potential (30%) and generous paid time off.
