ROLE TITLE: Senior Associate, Matriculation and Onboarding

POSITION REPORTS TO: Vice President, Southern California Regional Leadership, Ashley Terada

APPLICATION DEADLINE: Friday, October 4, 2024 by 11:59 pm ET

LOCATION: Los Angeles, CA

WHAT YOU’LL DO

We are seeking an individual who will provide the operational support for matriculating and onboarding the incoming teachers to the Teach For America Los Angeles corps. You would work closely as part of the team that is responsible for ensuring incoming teachers are ready to be credentialed and hired by a school from the moment they receive their Teach For America offer until they start teaching. You would be responsible for ensuring smooth logistics for communications and virtual gatherings; supporting incoming teachers through the onboarding process; and ensuring that tracking systems remain up-to-date. The ideal candidate will be passionate for the job with the ability to stay incredibly organized, to move seamlessly between micro-level and macro-level tasks, and to communicate with others with compassion both in writing and verbally. While primary responsibilities will include working with partners to track and gather information aligned to key action items for our incoming teachers, you will also be responsible for providing more intensive support to a small portfolio of teachers. You should possess an ability to work in multiple ways: independently, one-on-one, and collaboratively. The goal is to ensure that all of our teachers have a smooth onboarding experience and are ready to start having a positive impact on students in their own classrooms in the fall.
