Do people who know you refer to you as “The Connector” or some other type of network aficionado nickname?  Does your commitment to every child’s education drive you to do whatever needs to be done to ensure that education is of the quality they deserve?  Have you seen the difference effective and equitable management practices can make in how well teams can deliver results for the children they educate?  We’d like a word with you! The Management Center (TMC) is seeking our first Partner, Education Sector Engagement & Partnerships to contribute to the ever-expanding work of our Educational Equity (Ed Equity) Team.  The Partner will leverage their, and TMC’s, networks of leaders, schools, and organizations committed to the success of every child to build and grow partnerships with TMC to offer our services of management coaching and training.    Who We Are We view educational equity as much-needed social change, and our mission is to help social change leaders learn how to build and run more effective organizations so they can deliver great results.  Founded in 2006, we have helped shape the practices of hundreds of influential organizations and thousands of individual managers, focusing in particular on leading progressive organizations working for social change.  In 2015, we expanded our reach to include the educational equity sector. This sector development is still in start-up mode as we build our support of superintendents, school leaders responsible for the children and adults in their buildings, among other leaders in the education space, and organizations advocating for more equitable educational policies.  Our clients work on issues where they face an inherently uphill battle and so must fight more effectively if they are going to achieve their missions and do their best for children.  We aim to help them by making their organizations as effective as possible. The Ed Equity Team has ambitious goals to support as many school leaders and organizations that educate some of our most vulnerable populations (students of color and low-income students) as possible.  We are particularly committed to serving schools/organizations led by and for leaders of color and indigenous leaders.   What You’ll Do Reporting to the head of the educational equity sector, the Partner will be an integral member of the team who will create an outreach game plan and execute it by quickly identifying and winning over strategic clients who have high expectations for our work with them.  This individual will cut through all red tape to get the job done and secure future partnerships/business for our ed sector coaches and trainers in order to help us reach our ambitious goals. This newly developed role will evolve over time, but you’ll have 2 major areas of responsibility: Strategic engagement and partnership-building – approximately 70% of your time Build and maintain relationships across the education sector to generate business (primarily in schools, school districts, and non-profits/foundations that support either). Secure and/or maintain at least 7 Ed Equity partnerships within the first year with at least 1 being an organization lead by a person of color or indigenous person. Team support – approximately 30% of your time Identify/develop internal systems that make the building and maintenance of relationships with external partners easier to scale. Steward strategic partnerships that help us accomplish our goals around impact and number of managers trained, including Acting as a liaison between external partners and the rest of the Ed Equity team. Delegating logistical aspects of partnerships (e.g. writing contracts, conducting intake calls, scheduling onsite trainings) to the relevant TMC team member Collaborating with the Administrative Team and the Ed Equity Sector Head to ensure everyone has the information they need to move forward Lead trainings for select clients; including the majority of trainings at education conferences TMC attends   If you were a member of the team this year, you would have been Networking with school and district leaders, hearing their needs, and recommending resources to them (TMC and others). Identifying and pursuing potential new partnerships that TMC’s Ed Equity Sector should pursue. Setting up the initial systems for new partnerships and analyzing the systems for current partnerships to ensure client needs met and all members our team understand their roles with the client. Creating an outreach plan to secure school leader management trainings for the summer. Partnering with large public school districts when big and tricky issues arise.   Who You Are To be successful in this job, you will be adept at networking, business development, project management, and centering equity and inclusion (particularly around race and gender-identity) in your work.  More specifically, you will be most of the following: An experienced education sector leader : You have been a school leader; worked as a programs or operations leader for a system or network; or supported schools and school leaders in another way that provides you with insight into what it takes to effectively manage teams and individuals towards ambitious results for children. A relationship-builder and master communicator : You are able to build strong relationships with education sector leaders and give them advice about our management services that could meet their needs (this likely comes from deep experience in the sector). You manage relationships with demanding school and district leaders, both in managing their expectations and delivering on our promises.  You convey concise and simple messages in writing and you respond to people quickly, helpfully, and completely. Committed to centering racial and gender equity and inclusion : You understand the impact of systemic and implicit biases related to race and gender identity that can play out in management practices and you’re able to surface this with clients in a way that allows them to hear what is being said without compromising the clarity of the message.  You can proactively spot issues of equity and inclusion in the work and can bring practical solutions. A problem-solver and solutions-oriented : You are able to anticipate problems with a partnership (like, if a district hasn’t done X, they might miss the deadline for setting training dates) and enjoy working through a problem until it is solved.  A systems designer : You are able to envision systems for multi-part projects that busy people can implement. You can then put those systems into place and get everybody up to speed and bought into using them.  A fast-paced and detail-oriented project manager : You bring a passion for making things work well and an ability to handle a large volume of work impeccably in a high performing environment, including strategically prioritizing the most important and impactful projects while keeping the others moving or explicitly placing them on the back burner.  You backwards plan, troubleshoot, anticipate and burst through obstacles and move things forward, while managing in all directions, especially across lines of difference (by quickly gaining trust and rapport through warmth, humility, and optimism) with remote folks who are often away with clients. You stay on top of multiple projects use resources wisely.    What Else You Should Know We are an equal opportunity employer, are committed to racial equity, and we make a particular effort to recruit people of color, indigenous people, and gender-non-conforming people to apply for open positions.  This position is full-time, can be based anywhere in the United States, and requires moderate travel (1 – 4 days per month).  The full-time salary range is between $122,400 to $166,400 for Partners, with exact salary depending on experience and new staff rarely starting at the top of the range.  We also offer excellent benefits, including an additional 5% employer contribution to your retirement fund with no match required.   What Now? If this seems like you, please complete an application!

The Management Center (TMC) is continuing to grow! We’ve been steadily expanding, and we are seeking an experienced educational equity leader to work with our clients (e.g. school leaders and other educational equity leaders who have managed senior level people in a school system or network of schools).  You will lead coaching engagements and serve as a teacher/coach/trainer/nudge/confidante/advisor/thought-partner to client executives, with the aim of helping them build their teams into high performing organizations that deliver great results. Ideal candidates won’t be lifelong consultants or necessarily have any consulting experience at all.  Rather, we seek experienced managers who have produced results and who have a passion for teaching other leaders from diverse backgrounds how to do the same. Who We Are We view educational equity as much-needed social change, and our mission is to help social change leaders learn how to build and run more effective organizations so they can deliver great results. Founded in 2006, we have helped shape the practices of hundreds of influential organizations and thousands of individual managers, focusing in particular on leading progressive organizations working for social change. Several years ago, we expanded our reach to include the educational equity sector.  This sector development is still in start-up mode as we build our support of superintendents, organizations advocating for more equitable educational policies, school leaders responsible for the children and adults in their buildings, among other leaders in the education space.  Our clients work on issues where they face an inherently uphill battle and so must fight more effectively if they are going to achieve their missions and do their best for children.  We aim to help them by making their organizations as effective as possible. A great deal of our work involves direct coaching of clients, and we also offer publications and training to the broader field. Along the way, we have built a strong reputation:  on our most recent anonymous survey, 95% of clients said they “Strongly Agree” (the top choice on a 7-point scale) that they would recommend TMC to a friend.  Such positive word-of-mouth has created fairly explosive demand for our services that the new coach will help us meet. What You’ll Do Your job will be to instill the management practices that will help your educational equity clients build higher-performing organizations that deliver great results.  You will work with principals, superintendents, executive directors and their senior teams to help them define ambitious goals; manage for execution; implement rigorous “people practices,” including selecting and retaining a diverse team of the best talent and letting go of people who don’t meet a high bar; and build cultures that reinforce a high bar for performance, constant improvement, and values like equity and transparency. At any given time, you will lead roughly four to six intensive client engagements and several other less intensive relationships.  Your work with clients might include: Observing them in action, diagnosing their needs, and designing the scope of our work with them; Delivering services to clients, including coaching senior executives one-on-one, designing new organization-wide systems, providing advice on challenges of the day, and conducting trainings for senior teams; Serving as the primary point of contact for clients and developing strong working relationships with them; In the friendliest way possible, nagging client leaders to make sure they are following-up on their commitments; and Prioritizing across client needs to ensure we spend our energy wisely. Beyond your work with clients, you will help build and grow TMC.  This means you will leverage your networks and cultivate strong relationships to identify additional educational equity leaders and organizations that could benefit from TMC’s services.  You also might develop new tools for all of our clients to use, identify better approaches for how we engage with clients, or help us come up with more effective ways to assess our progress.  You will also help shape the organization’s strategic direction, and serve as an external ambassador with key constituents. You will report to one of our senior coaches, who will measure your success primarily by improvement in your clients’ practices, client satisfaction, revenue generated, and fit with our culture. Who You Are To be successful in this job, you will excel in four areas: Management instincts :   You will have a demonstrated track record of success in managing a high-performing organization, department, or team, and will therefore bring a deep understanding of what it takes to produce results, instincts for going beyond the “textbook” to get to solutions that will work, and an appreciation for the CEO perspective and what it’s like to be in a senior management role. Critical thinking skills :   You will need the smarts to quickly become “fluent” in your clients’ contexts, analyze situations to see beyond the surface of challenges, and effectively customize general practices to fit clients’ particular needs. Interpersonal ability and a strong lens on issues of racial equity :   You must be able to build trust and goodwill with clients and demonstrate deep respect for the clients’ work.  You’re the kind of person who thrives on teaching and developing others, while bringing a healthy impatience to see progress. And because our clients and their teams come from a wide range of backgrounds, you can thoughtfully navigate issues related to racial and gender (and other) diversity, equity, and inclusion and bring a deep commitment to advancing these values. Business development :  You are comfortable pitching TMC services to potential educational equity clients.  You can negotiate pricing and contracts for your coaching services, understanding how to navigate supporting high-priority clients who might need additional assistance. We are more interested in these four qualities than in any particular type of experience. However, because you will need to be able to relate as a peer to school leaders and other senior leaders in the education sector, you will also presumably bring experience yourself having operated as a principal/building leader or managed senior level people in a school system or network of schools.  We know that there are other types of senior educational equity leaders who may not have run a school, but they could be successful in this role (e.g. Chief Operating Officers, Chief Financial Officers, Managing Directors of Program).  Please apply! Finally, you need to fit well with our culture, which we like to think combines excellence with heart (and a keen sense of humor helps). What Else You Should Know Our coaching roles comes in two varieties – a more junior position (Vice President) and a more senior position (Partner), with the difference between the two being the executive experience you bring and the type of clients with whom you work. Our most urgent current need, given our current client demand and staff makeup, is for a Partner-level coach based anywhere in the United States. This position is full-time and requires moderate travel 1 – 4 days per month). The full-time salary range for VP roles is between $91,800 to $128,520, and between $122,400 to $166,400 for Partners, with exact salary depending on experience and new staff rarely starting at the top of the range. We also offer excellent benefits, including an additional 5% employer contribution to your retirement fund with no match required. We are an equal opportunity employer, are committed to racial equity and social justice, and we make a particular effort to recruit people of color to apply for open positions.  What Now?
