About Fugees Family
Fugees Family is a leading nonprofit and school network in the United States dedicated to transforming education for refugee and immigrant students. For nearly two decades, we’ve been reimagining how schools welcome, support, and accelerate the success of newcomer and multilingual learners.
Through Teranga Academy, our district partnership model, we work side-by-side with school systems to design and implement holistic newcomer programs that address academic, linguistic, and social-emotional needs. We also offer professional learning, training, and resources that equip educators nationwide to better serve multilingual populations.
Our approach is both innovative and proven—combining high-quality programming, deep district partnerships, and thought leadership in English Learner education. By partnering with educators and communities, Fugees Family ensures that newcomer and multilingual students are not just included, but thrive and lead.
About the Role
The Senior Sales Director will design and lead Fugees Family’s national sales strategy, driving growth in two key areas:
District Partnerships – securing long-term contracts to implement Teranga Academy within public school districts.
Professional Learning & Training Services – expanding our workshops, institutes, and virtual offerings for educators.
This is a mission-driven sales leadership role that blends strategic planning with hands-on execution. The ideal candidate is a team player who thrives in collaborative environments, adapts quickly to changing priorities, and approaches challenges with creativity and determination. We’re looking for someone who brings both business acumen and a “hustler” mindset—resourceful, flexible, and relentlessly focused on impact and results.
Estimated travel: 30–40%, including district meetings, conferences, and partner site visits.
