Learning Management System Administrator

We are New York City's top-performing and fastest-growing charter school network, and we are fundamentally reshaping public education. To ensure long-lasting change and a school model that will prepare current and future generations of children from all backgrounds with the subject mastery and skills to succeed in college and life, we have reconceived every aspect of school design, from elementary to high school.

To meet these challenges, Success has launched the Education Institute, to drive the organization-wide training and development strategy for adult learners. The Ed Institute provides a sophisticated digital environment for housing our innovative scholar curriculum, adult e-learning courses, and other training resources — combined with the in-person practice and coaching that is foundational to our approach to adult learning. The Ed Institute will give us the capacity to train thousands of our own educators, as well as to spur innovation and to share our model and best practices with other charter management organizations and districts around the country.  

To bring this critically important endeavor to scale, Success seeks to hire a Learning Management System Administrator to integrate new learning technologies, including a learning management system (LMS). The successful candidate will be responsible for instructional technology, vendor management, IT project management, and data management. This individual will work closely with other members of the Ed Institute team, technology professionals, and adult learners across Success Academy to ensure our learning systems are leveraged for success and maintained with an eye to scaling for the future.
