Franchise operator of 500+ early-education centers across the US
Primrose Schools runs a 500+ location franchise network serving infants through kindergarten, anchored by operations and marketing teams scaling enrollment and compliance across independently owned schools. The hiring mix (operations-heavy, with active director-level roles in acquisitions and school operations) reflects the core business challenge: managing franchise quality, enrollment growth, and staff retention across a geographically dispersed network. Stack is enterprise-standard (HubSpot, Google Analytics, Adobe Creative Suite, Sprout Social) — typical for a scaling franchise operator focused on brand consistency and demand generation.
Notable leadership hires: Acquisitions Director, School Director, Training Director
