Job Description
At Uncommon Schools, we know running exceptional schools takes more than great instruction—it also takes exemplary operations! Uncommon Schools' operations leaders work passionately to ensure that our faculty maximizes time and energy on student achievement. We design, implement, and refine systems that anticipate the needs of our school community. As service-oriented leaders, we tackle problems, share standard methodologies across campuses, and respond to urgent needs. We partner to build an academic and cultural environment that supports our ultimate goal : ensuring that every student will earn a college degree.
The Associate Director of Operations (ADOO) is a member of the High School Leadership Team who leads the day-to-day operations of the school and reports directly to the High School Director of Operations.

- Leading all aspects of the day-to-day operation of the school;
- Serving as main point of contact for all operational needs in circumstances when the DOO is not available;
- Participating actively in the High School Leadership Team;
- Managing 1-2 operations staff members, at the DOO’s discretion, and overseeing the successful implementation of their workstreams (e.g., attendance, purchasing, invoice processing);
- Partnering with and providing operational support to key stakeholders and leaders such as the Athletic Director and the HS 2.0 Program Manager;
- Implementing coverage system on a daily basis;
- Developing and managing the HS schedule, including teacher and student schedules, classroom schedules, and duty assignments;
