Field Support Specialist

At Mathnasium, franchisee success is the foundation of our business. The Field Support Specialist (FSS) plays a critical role in driving that success by ensuring new centers open in full alignment with the Mathnasium Method and core business systems. Through hands-on consultation, training, and ongoing support, this role accelerates time to profitability and sets the standard for operational excellence from day one.

Role Overview

The Field Support Specialist serves as a key partner to franchisees during the new center opening process, acting as the bridge between franchisees and the corporate training team. This role leads centers from pre-opening through grand opening, providing the structure, training, and support needed to establish strong operational and financial foundations.

This is a primarily remote role; however, it requires approximately 50% travel throughout the year to support new center openings and on-site franchisee needs.

Candidates with current or prior Mathnasium experience are strongly encouraged to apply, as familiarity with the business model and systems provides a meaningful advantage in ramping quickly and driving success in the role.

The FSS also plays an important role in shaping the long-term franchisee experience by building strong relationships and ensuring a smooth transition to the Franchise Business Consultant (FBC) for ongoing support.
