Regional Operations Manager

About the role

Thanks for your interest in Success Academy! Running a large, fast-growing, and high-performing network of public charter schools takes a village - families, children, teachers, staff and faculty, advocates, and supporters alike. We are growing fast in New York and expanding to Florida, and we would love to welcome you to our community! We work tirelessly every day to ensure children have access to a fun, rigorous, whole-child education regardless of zip code or economic status. When you join SA, you play a part in giving every student who walks through our doors a fair shot at reaching his or her potential.

With our rapid growth and commitment to operational excellence, Success Academy Charter Schools is seeking innovative Regional Operations Managers (ROM) who understand that the foundation of great schooling starts with ensuring each of our schools is a joyful environment that promotes learning through seamless operations.

The ROM is critical to Success Academy's mission to build world-class K-12 public schools in NYC while advocating to change policies that prevent children from accessing excellent educational experiences. The ROM will manage a cohort of school-based operations teams to continuously improve and deliver high-quality operational standards for their school. The ROM is a member of the network Operations Management Team, reporting to the Operations Management Lead.

At Success Academy, we invest in talent development, supporting our staff to grow in their careers and expand their impact in service of our school communities and dual mission. As such, we require a 3-year commitment for all Regional Operations Manager candidates.
