Equal Opportunity Schools®
EOSchools.org
The Equal Opportunity Schools® organization (EOS) is an early-stage, education-reform not-for-profit that changes lives and narrows the achievement gap by collaborating with superintendents and principals to address an inequity in our schools: under-enrollment in the best academic programs – especially of students who are Latino, African-American, or low-income. EOS identifies these “missing students” – who we have shown can succeed at the highest academic levels within their schools – and works to transition them into the best, college-bound classes. Because our mission is to find all two-thirds of a million “missing students” within the decade, EOS seeks to hire candidates who have the skills to succeed on a rapidly growing, continuously improving, high-impact, mission-driven team.

Job Opportunity
The Partnership Director will join a program team of six high-caliber individuals and will manage a portfolio of about 8-10 high schools, with the responsibility for helping their schools find 1,000 missing students by fall 2014. The Partnership Director will represent Equal Opportunity Schools, interfacing directly with district leadership, school principals, and staff to provide coaching and consulting services.

Responsibilities
The Partnership Director will be responsible for delivering the following services to his or her schools:

• Detailed data analysis & presentations in collaboration with a Partnership Analyst
• Policy & program recommendations
• Leadership coaching

Additionally, the Partnership Director will work with the EOS team to further develop, test, and streamline the consulting system for partnership schools in preparation for expansion of our services to about eighty schools next year.

Lastly, all staff members on the team will be engaged in the elaboration of internal and external strategy, and are likely candidates for ongoing leadership positions within our fast-growing organization.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree plus significant background in consulting or schools/districts, preferably both
• Experience in relationship management
• Understanding of the public school system
• Substantial leadership experience and preferably leadership coaching experience
• Interested applicants should submit a CV and a cover letter describing the importance of the issue of missing students to the applicant and how they can assist in achieving our mission
