Job description

Branch Manager:

The daily standard keeper — one branch, no compromises.

Full-time. (Female only).

Kuwait.

Reporting to: Director of Operations.

Role: Branch Manager.

Department: Operations & Education.

Reports To: Director of Operations.

Contract: Full-time, permanent.

Location: Single branch (Salam or Shuhada or Salwa).

About BeCurious:

BeCurious is a premium Finnish-method preschool operating across three branches in Kuwait — Salam, Shuhada, and Salwa. Built on the belief that curiosity drives learning, BeCurious combines a strong curriculum with a structured operating system.

The Role:

The Branch Manager owns the day-to-day operation of one BeCurious branch.

This is not a coordination role. It is not administrative oversight. The Branch Manager ensures that every session, every teacher, and every family experience meets the BeCurious standard — consistently, without exception.

You are responsible for execution. What is designed at system level must work in your branch — through people, discipline, and attention to detail.

Responsibilities:

Daily Operations — One Branch, Full Standard:

• Own the daily running of the branch from opening to closing.
• Ensure all sessions run on time and to standard.
• Execute all SOPs exactly as designed in the BeCurious OS.
• Maintain a clean, safe, and fully prepared environment at all times.
• Ensure readiness for inspections at any time.
  

Team Management:

• Manage all teachers and support staff within the branch.
• Lead daily briefings and ensure team alignment.
• Hold staff accountable to performance standards.
• Support teacher development through coaching and feedback.
• Ensure no teacher leads a session without required training completion.

Teaching & Classroom Quality:

• Monitor classroom delivery daily.
• Conduct regular classroom observations.
• Ensure lesson plans and weekly planning are completed and followed.
• Ensure child observation records are completed properly.
• Maintain visible application of the Curiosity Lens Framework.

Parent Experience:

• Ensure a high-quality, consistent parent experience.
• Handle parent concerns professionally and promptly.
• Ensure proper communication standards are followed.
• Support tours and convert interest into enrollment in coordination with Admissions.

Admissions Support:

• Support branch-level enrollment targets.
• Ensure tour readiness and professional delivery.
• Follow up with prospective families when required.
• Maintain accurate information flow to the admissions system.

Inventory & Supplies:

• Monitor branch-level inventory and usage.
• Coordinate with Purchasing Manager for supply needs.
• Ensure materials are available and organized for all sessions.
• Reporting & Compliance.
• Report daily and weekly updates to Director of Operations.
• Maintain accurate records (attendance, incidents, staff data)
• Ensure incident reports are completed within required timelines.
• Ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements.

What This Role Is Not:

• The Branch Manager does not operate without structure — SOPs are followed, not reinvented.
• This is not a passive supervisory role — you are actively managing every day.
• The Branch Manager does not avoid accountability conversations.
• This role is not about being liked — it is about maintaining standards.

You Are the Right Person If:

You will thrive in this role if you:

• Are highly organized and present on the floor.
• Can manage people with clarity and firmness.
• Pay attention to detail others miss.

  This role is not right for you if you:

  • Prefer planning over execution.
  • Avoid difficult conversations with staff or parents.
  • Struggle with structure and process discipline.
  • Need constant direction instead of taking ownership.

  Qualifications and Experience:

  Required:

  • Minimum 3–5 years experience in education, preschool, or operations.
  • Experience managing a team.
  • Strong organizational and leadership skills.
  • Arabic and English proficiency.
  • Based in Kuwait or able to relocate immediately.
    

  Preferred:

  • Experience in early childhood education.
  • Experience in a structured, multi-branch environment.
  • Familiarity with school systems .

  What BeCurious Offers:

  • A clear operating system — you execute with clarity, not guesswork.
  • A real leadership role at branch level.
  • Direct impact on children, families, and team quality.
  • Growth as the organization expands.
  • Compensation.
  • Competitive, based on experience. Discussed at offer stage.
