Full Time
Senior Associate, Support & Operations
Location: Boston, MA
Position is available: Immediately
WHO WE ARE
Every student deserves opportunities in life, and every educator committed to providing those opportunities, deserves support. Those beliefs drive us to work alongside schools to support great teaching so that we can work towards guaranteeing that all students are receiving high quality instruction. We partner with over 900 schools - both district and charter - in underserved communities around the country, thus impacting more than 330,000 students. Third-party evaluations confirm that when schools have the right basic conditions in place and partner with ANet, they achieve 6-8 months of additional learning over a two-year period compared to schools not partnering with ANet.
At ANet we are committed to living out our core values , both across our organization and with our partner schools. We acknowledge that systemic inequities impact student access to opportunities and that in order to ensure educational equity for all students, we must center on the experiences of those from marginalized communities to guide our work. We work to deepen our understanding of how race, class, power and privilege influence the education system as well as influence our own perspectives. To do so, we provide ongoing learning opportunities through org-wide professional development, affinity groups, working groups, and resource sharing.
Individuals who join ANet have the opportunity to be part of a dynamic, values driven, and team-oriented organization that is committed to having impact in schools by investing in each other and learning together. We were named as The NonProfit Time’s “Best Nonprofits to Work For” and work tirelessly to foster a working environment where the unique perspectives, backgrounds, and identities of our staff members are valued.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are seeking a Senior Associate to join the Support & Operations Team, which is part of ANet’s national Program Operations Team. The Support & Operations Team sets up and supports internal staff and partner schools so that they are able to fully leverage ANet’s products and services in order to improve instructional practice. The Senior Associate will manage the support, training, and logistics around administering ANet’s assessments and leveraging our various technology platforms for a portfolio of ANet’s regional teams and their corresponding partner schools. No matter who they’re interacting with, the Senior Associate will ensure strong operations so that our school partners have what they need to drive student learning. Given this role will impact students across hundreds of ANet partner schools, a successful Senior Associate will keep the student experience front and center in everything that they do.
