Thanks for your interest in Success Academy! Running a large, fast-growing, and high-performing network of public charter schools takes a village - families, children, teachers, staff and faculty, advocates, and supporters alike. We are growing fast in New York and expanding to Florida, and we would love to welcome you to our community! We work tirelessly every day to ensure children have access to a fun, rigorous, whole-child education regardless of zip code or economic status.

We now need a results-obsessed  Senior Director, Talent Acquisition to run the day-to-day of our recruiting org outside the academic teacher, executive search, and TA operations & systems engines.

Key Responsibilities Own day-to-day leadership, execution, and results across non-instructional, corporate, and arts & athletics — and represent the function when the Head is out. Run your teams like a high-performing sales organization: set daily and weekly activity targets, monitor pipeline, conversion, and quality-of-hire metrics in real time, and coach Leads and recruiters to the number.
