Regional Facilities Manager, Alpha - $200,000/year USD

"Alpha is opening new campuses all over America. Why? Because their students love school, learn valuable life skills, and run laps around their peers academically." Alpha is hiring. You walk a site and instantly see what's off: the loose ceiling tile no one logged, the HVAC return that's been whining for a week, the landscaping vendor who skipped half the punch list and still invoiced in full. You don't wait for a customer to complain. You close the loop before anyone notices it was open. That instinct is the job. Alpha operates premium K–12 campuses where families pay for an environment that is safe, consistent, and tour-ready every single day, not just on event days. You'll own that standard across the Northwest: the San Francisco Bay Area as your primary campus, with regular travel to schools in CA, WA, NV, UT, OR, and ID. Your work is the difference between a campus that feels premium and one that quietly degrades between executive visits. The first year is heavy on standards-setting and vendor cleanup: codifying what "ready" looks like, building the audit cadence, replacing vendors who don't perform, and getting Campus Coordinators and Site Specialists onto a repeatable operating rhythm. As the region adds schools and your playbook stabilizes, the role shifts toward steady-state regional leadership. You become the operator the network leans on when a new campus opens, an emergency hits, or a standard needs to be rewritten. This is a field role. If you want to manage from a dashboard, this is not for you. If you want direct ownership of whether 25+ schools feel premium every day and the authority to make that happen, keep reading. What You Will Be Doing Conducting recurring on-site audits across Northwest campuses against documented standards for cleanliness, HVAC, safety, security, signage, landscaping, furniture, and tour-readiness, then turning findings into verified corrective actions.Triaging facilities issues and emergencies, coordinating vendors and campus teams, and closing tickets only after problems are verified fixed (urgent Managing local vendor performance against SLAs, replacing vendors who miss repeatedly, renegotiating scopes, and holding hard accountability conversations on quality and cost.Driving a weekly operating rhythm with Campus Coordinators and Site Specialists, including crisp written reporting on regional quality, vendor performance, escalations, and CapEx variance.Leading major campus upgrades and codifying global standards and AI-enabled procurement playbooks so every campus opens and operates consistently. What You Won’t Be Doing Remote oversight is not an option here. This role requires regular physical presence at the Bay Area campus and 30–50% travel to regional sites across CA, WA, NV, UT, OR, and ID.Designing new campuses from scratch or owning ground-up construction delivery. Capital expansion sits with another team.Setting enterprise-wide procurement strategy in isolation from the field. Your standards are earned from walking the sites.Inheriting clean reporting lines and formal authority over every person whose work you depend on. You'll drive accountability through clarity, written follow-up, and refusal to accept vague vendor timelines.Accepting "tour-ready only when leadership visits" as normal, or treating reactive firefighting as the default operating model.
