Operations

There are operations staff members within most teams at Teach For America. Given the inherent operational challenges of growing so rapidly, we lean on our operations staff members to manage the processes and logistics that cement our infrastructure. For example, our wide-reaching recruitment efforts, admissions process, summer training institutes, regional corps member induction and matriculation, new site openings and fundraising events, all require operations staff members with an eye toward efficiency, execution, and quality control.

Ops staff members are typically systematic thinkers with a passion for improving processes and practices. They're comfortable using data to inform decisions. They’re also flexible, optimistic, and leverage their 'can do' attitude to excel in a collaborative, extremely fast-paced environment.
