Regional Vice President- Education

About the role

Scholastic ("the Company") is the world's largest publisher and distributor of children's books, a leading provider of literacy curriculum and professional services, and a producer of educational and entertaining children's media. The Company creates quality books and ebooks, print and technology-based learning programs for K-12 classroom magazines and other products and services that support children's learning both in school and at home. With operations in 14 international offices and exports to 165 countries, Scholastic makes quality, affordable books available to all children around the world through school-based book clubs and book fairs, classroom collections, school and public libraries, retail and online. WHY? For more than a century, Scholastic Education has played a defining role in expanding access to literacy and learning for children everywhere. That mission remains critical today, even as the PK-12 education market has undergone a structural reset. Growth now depends far less on funding alignment and far more on disciplined sales execution, trusted relationships, and clear, defensible value. Scholastic is uniquely positioned to lead. As one of the few scaled, publicly traded companies in PK-12 education, the company is pairing its 100+ year literacy mission with renewed leadership, stronger operating discipline, and a sharper focus on accountability and data. This Regional VP of Sales role will be critical to the Scholastic Education's ongoing evolution and modernization. WHAT?

The ideal candidate is passionate about literacy, and an energetic leader with experience leading teams that partner with school districts, schools and community-based organizations to extend literacy in the PK-12 market. They will work hand in hand with CRO, providing dynamic leadership and delivering consistent revenue results.
