We are always looking for excellent school leadership talent. While this is not an immediate opening, we welcome your application to begin the conversation about future opportunities that may arise.
To build more high performing schools, we need senior operations leaders to commit themselves to the most urgent and exciting work of our time! Regional Superintendents of Operations at Uncommon Schools serve as vitally important leaders in our organization and help drive the success of our schools. As Regional Superintendent of Operations, you will oversee school and regional operations within your region in conjunction with your manager, the Chief of Operations for Schools (CO). Regional Superintendents of Operations are responsible for ensuring that their schools operate at the highest level, with systems in place that allow teachers and Principals to focus on instruction and academic achievement. The Regional Superintendent of Operations ensures excellent school operations through direct management of a “portfolio” of Directors of Operations (DOOs), or school leaders who lead all non-instructional aspects of the school.

Build, implement, and monitor cross-regional operations initiatives (e.g. aligned toolkits for State Testing and School Launch; PD session facilitation and follow-up)
Support hiring, on-boarding, management, and evaluation of all operations staff, including DOOs and school-based operations teams
Leadership & Collaboration
Serve as an outstanding role model as a leader and manager, investing deeply in supporting and developing team members and growing their capacity to learn, contribute and engage in the work of the team and organization
