• Troubleshoot issues and provide solutions in ambiguous or evolving situations.

• Proven stakeholder management experience across diverse teams.

At Partou, we believe that everyone is unique and special, and our focus is on embracing and valuing this. Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion (DEI) aren't just buzzwords to us—they're at the core of what we do, and we celebrate the variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives that each child—and each team member—brings.

Consider this job description as a guide rather than a strict set of rules. It helps explain what you'll be doing, but it's designed to be flexible and adaptable. It's meant to point you in the right direction, not provide an exhaustive list of tasks.

We've outlined the essentials, but if you find a better way to do something or if it helps us work better as a team, we're open to new ideas. We view this document as a living, evolving thing that changes and grows as you do. So, if it changes from time to time, don't be concerned—we'll always keep you in the loop.
