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.

- Managerial Oversight: Lead the full talent lifecycle for all school-based Business Operations Managers, including strategic hiring, onboarding, rigorous management, and performance evaluation.
- Organizational Growth: Design and execute comprehensive engagement and training plans to maximize staff retention and create a robust internal leadership pipeline.

About this role
Success Academy is building a network of high-performing charter schools across New York and Florida, and this role sits at the operational heart of that expansion. As a Regional Operations Manager, you'd oversee a portfolio of schools' day-to-day operations, leading a team of Business Operations Managers while partnering with school principals to ensure that excellent academics are supported by seamless, joyful learning environments. The work spans talent management—hiring, developing, and evaluating your operations team—alongside strategic problem-solving to identify and fix systemic inefficiencies across your region. You'd also enforce network-wide standards for safety, facilities, and health while managing budgets and resources to give each school the tools it needs to succeed.
This position demands someone with at least two years of school-based leadership experience and a four-year degree, paired with strong communication skills and the ability to influence stakeholders indirectly. You'll need to be resourceful, data-driven, and comfortable with ambiguity—willing to dig into regional trends, advocate for solutions, and roll up your sleeves to get things done. Success Academy is explicit about wanting people with grit and humility who see problems as opportunities to refine systems and share best practices.
The salary range is $110,000 to $150,000, with benefits that include day-one health coverage (82% of premiums covered), a 403(b) with 3% match, paid parental leave, and PSLF eligibility. Note that the role requires a three-year commitment. This is an in-office position in New York.
