About the Role
The Company is seeking a Managing Director to lead one of its mission-critical businesses in the education and childcare software space. The successful candidate will be responsible for driving the next phase of growth, steering the product portfolio, evolving the operating model, deepening customer value, and owning performance and outcomes.
