Regional Operations Manager

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 are a joyful environment that promotes learning through seamless operations.

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.
