Job Description

At Uncommon Schools, we know running exceptional schools takes more than great instruction-it also takes exemplary operations! Uncommon Schools' operations leaders work passionately to ensure that our faculty maximizes time and energy on student achievement. We design, implement, and refine systems that anticipate the needs of our school community. As service-oriented leaders, we tackle problems, share standard methodologies across campuses, and respond to urgent needs. We partner to build an academic and cultural environment that supports our ultimate goal: ensuring that every student will earn a college degree.

The Associate Director of Operations (ADOO) is a member of the High School Leadership Team who leads the day-to-day operations of the school and reports directly to the High School Director of Operations. By managing the crucial day-to-day, the ADOO frees up the HS DOO to focus on bigger-picture priorities given the complexity and scale of high school operations. The ADOO will partner on many school leadership initiatives with the school's Academy Leader. Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Leading all aspects of the day-to-day operation of the school;

Serving as main point of contact for all operational needs in circumstances when the DOO is not available;

Participating actively in the High School Leadership Team;

Managing 1-2 operations staff members, at the DOO's discretion, and overseeing the successful implementation of their workstreams (e.g., attendance, purchasing, invoice processing);

Partnering with and providing operational support to key stakeholders and leaders such as the Athletic Director and the HS 2.0 Program Manager;

Implementing coverage system on a daily basis;

Developing and managing the HS schedule, including teacher and student schedules, classroom schedules, and duty assignments;

Owning facilities management to ensure facilities are safe, well-maintained, and meet the needs of students and faculty;

Any additional responsibilities identified by the DOO, including but not limited to student persistence and enrollment, major events, tracking time off, etc.
