Performance-Based Contract Opportunity | Summit World Schools
About Summit World Schools
Summit World Schools (SWS) is building a purpose-led private school model centered on leadership, experiential learning, entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence, workforce readiness, and global citizenship.
We are currently working toward the launch of our first school while building relationships with investors, donors, community partners, school owners, and organizations that share our vision.
Our philosophy is simple:
Purpose-Led. People-Driven. Supporters First.
We believe education should develop capable, resilient, purpose-driven young people who are prepared to lead meaningful lives and strengthen their communities.
The Opportunity
We are looking for an entrepreneurial, well-connected fundraising and development professional who wants to help build Summit World Schools from the ground up.
This is not a traditional salaried position at this stage. There is no guaranteed salary or hourly compensation.
Instead, we are looking for someone who is comfortable working on a performance-based basis during our launch phase, with compensation tied to successful fundraising, partnerships, and business development outcomes.
This could be a strong fit for someone who believes in innovative education, enjoys opening doors and building relationships, and has connections within philanthropic, business, education, nonprofit, civic, real estate, or investment communities.
You will work directly with SWS leadership and our Director of Development to expand our funding and partnership network.
What You’ll Help Us Do
You’ll help identify and build relationships with foundations, donors, family offices, corporate partners, community leaders, education supporters, real estate groups, and other organizations that may have an interest in supporting Summit World Schools.
You may also help us pursue grants, sponsorships, philanthropic support, strategic partnerships, facility opportunities, and other sources of startup and growth capital.
The role will involve outreach, introductions, relationship development, fundraising strategy, meetings, presentations, and helping us build a stronger network around SWS.
Who We’re Looking For
We’d especially like to hear from people with experience in areas such as:
Education fundraising
Nonprofit development
Philanthropy
Business development
Community development
Private capital or investor relations
Real estate finance
Corporate partnerships
Executive networking
A strong network in the Midwest, education sector, philanthropic community, business community, or civic leadership space would be especially valuable.
Compensation
This is currently a performance-based contract opportunity with no upfront salary, hourly pay, or guaranteed compensation.
Compensation may include success-based fees for eligible fundraising and partnership outcomes, milestone bonuses, advisory opportunities, and the possibility of a longer-term compensated leadership role as Summit World Schools grows.
Any compensation connected to investment capital will be structured in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Why This Matters
We’re not just trying to open another school.
We’re working to build a different kind of educational experience, one where students are known, teachers are supported, families are part of the community, and young people develop the confidence, character, purpose, and real-world skills they need for life.
We’ve spent nearly two years building the foundation.
Now we’re looking for people who want to help us turn that work into our first school.
If that sounds like something you’d like to help build, we’d love to hear from you.
