Executive Director, Outreach & Training

Executive Director, Outreach & Training Fraser Academy Centre for Dyslexia

Fraser Academy (FA) is a North American leader in dyslexia education with over 40 years of success in strong student outcomes, including a 95%+ post secondary acceptance rate.

Building on this legacy, FA is establishing Canada's first Centre for Dyslexia, a national hub designed to bridge the gap between accessible intervention and system change. The Centre serves as a driving force providing evidence based supports while breaking down the barriers facing the 1 in 5 people with dyslexia, transforming a perceived deficit into a "dyslexic thinking" superpower.

Through four pillars-Teacher Training, Early Screening & Intervention, Outreach, and a Knowledge Hub-the Centre aims to disrupt the status quo and also mitigate social systemic risks like mental health challenges and poverty linked to unsupported learning differences.

The Mandate

Lead the next phase of growth by expanding proven programs (branded "FAx" - Fraser Academy's Outreach & Training Centre) and transition these to a high impact national brand. As the Executive Director (ED), you will be more than a leader in dyslexia education; you will act as a chief sales officer, responsible for scaling a profitable, mission driven enterprise that has already impacted thousands of learners and the ability to change so many more lives.

Key Priorities ()

• Operationalize the Centre: transition current programs; bring new brand to life.
• Scale for Impact: refine the business model for revenue optimization and scalability.
• Accreditation: launch an accredited post secondary diploma program by 2028/29.

The Ideal Candidate

We are seeking a community catalyst to join us in Vancouver, B.C.-consistently rated one of the world's most livable cities. You will align with four specific leadership archetypes:

• The Expert: deeply grounded in the Science of Reading and structured literacy.
• The Entrepreneur: a proven track record of managing a significant P&L centre where profit drives scalability.
• The Closer: a relationship manager who can navigate a sales funnel to secure "closed won" agreements.
• The Visionary: able to articulate the ROI of educational intervention to the community.

Compensation & Engagement

The expected salary range for this position is $145,000 to $160,000 (depending on experience) plus performance bonus, accompanied by a comprehensive benefits package. Download the full Position Specification here.
