We are open to hiring at the Associate or Manager level; title and compensation will be determined after assessment of experience, skills, and competencies. Zeta’s specialty program is a cornerstone of our next-generation school design that engages students in whole child learning through participation in specialty programs such as Music, Taekwondo, Soccer, Chess, Art, Dance, Orchestra, Performing Arts, Athletics, Basketball, Pre-K Specialty, and more. Specialty activities are the mechanism for students to come to know and challenge themselves. Through specialty activities, students express their sense of self long before they can articulate this sense with words. It is where work is play, where students are willing to put in more work than they might otherwise in pursuit of their goals and of excellence. Big obstacles become fun to tackle; students then learn to think critically about problems, to be creative, to innovate, to problem-solve, to stop at nothing to reach their aims. They learn and practice grit over and over again. Their identity begins to form around these efforts and resultant accomplishments, and they develop character and confidence. **The ideal candidate will bring:** - Background working in schools - Experience with Salesforce or similar CRM systems - Experience using AI or automation tools to improve operational efficiency **Responsibilities:** - Own the day-to-day operations of Zeta’s specialty programming, managing enrollment, schedules, procurement, inventorying, logistics, and communications with precision - Design and refine systems and structures that make specialty programming consistent and scalable across all schools - Manage data effectively by tracking enrollment, usage, and outcomes in spreadsheets and dashboards, and surfacing insights to continuously improve programming - Collaborate closely with school-based operations teams (SBOT), Operations Directors, and school leaders to ensure programming runs smoothly at every school - Serve as the first point of contact for schools on operational questions regarding our specialty programs, and surface feedback to address across the organization - Coordinate with external vendors and partners to deliver excellent programming that expands opportunities for students - Represent specialty programming with clarity and confidence, bringing strong organizational presence when interfacing with leaders, staff, and vendors - Wear multiple hats as a part of a lean scale-up team, supporting the work of others on the team and taking on new projects and tasks as needed ###### Join our purpose-driven community Zeta teammates are lifelong learners who live with child-like joy and a deep sense of purpose.
