SUMMARY

In the northwest part of the country sits a hundred-year-old educational institution synonymous with entrepreneurship and excellence. Lakeside School, a grades 5-12 independent school in Seattle, has been educating pioneers for decades—including two friends who later went on to found a small software firm called Microsoft. But Lakeside does not only graduate leaders—it hires them. Seven current heads of school across the United States can trace their roots back to Lakeside, where over two hundred faculty and staff thrive in a dynamic and invigorating work environment.

Now, Lakeside seeks a director of technology to run a mission-critical department that includes IT, systems, and instructional technology responsibilities. But true to Lakeside form, the school seeks someone with skills, talents, and most importantly interest in broad-scale leadership in the future. This is an institution that launched Global Online Academy and The Downtown School of Seattle, and more big ideas are in the works. The director of technology reports to the assistant head of school and starts July 1, 2020—or earlier by mutual agreement.
