Job description
Location: Remote, North Carolina · Travel: Frequent, statewide · Type: Full-time North Carolina needs more great child care, and the people who could open it (talented, caring future business owners) usually never start, because launching and running a licensed program feels impossible. Your job is to find those people, convince them they can do it, and teach them how. This isn’t a desk job and it isn’t a clipboard job. You’ll be on the road across the state: recruiting new providers, sitting down with people who run centers and family child care homes out of their own communities, and coaching them from “I have an idea” all the way to a licensed, full, financially healthy business. What you’ll do • Recruit new child care providers: go find the people who should be doing this and bring them in. • Motivate and coach them through licensing, from first conversation to open doors, for both centers and family child care homes. • Teach providers how to actually run a business: enrollment, operations, compliance, and the numbers that keep the lights on. • Translate North Carolina’s licensing rules (DCDEE) into plain steps people can act on, and keep providers compliant once they’re open. • Build the playbooks, training, and materials that let us help the next hundred providers faster than the last. • Partner with state agencies and community organizations to expand child care supply where it’s needed most. Who you are You’re the person who can walk into a room and get someone to bet on themselves: part recruiter, part coach, part operator. You know how businesses actually run, you’re relentless about detail, and people trust you fast. You’re genuinely willing to travel and you’d rather be in the field than behind a screen. Knowledge of North Carolina child care licensing, ideally from inside or alongside DCDEE, is a strong advantage, but the instinct to recruit, motivate, and teach is what makes this role work. Big pluses • An MBA, or a business-school undergraduate degree. • You know how to use AI tools and you can figure things out on your own: you don’t wait to be told how. • Experience recruiting, coaching, or consulting to small business owners or child care providers. • Familiarity with North Carolina’s quality rating and improvement work. This is how we close the child care gap in North Carolina: one provider, one business, one neighborhood at a time. Competitive compensation, full-time.
