    We aim to impact teaching and learning, so we need to deliver high quality data to decision makers at all levels of the organisation & to our government partner. School Inspection ensures that we have accurate knowledge of what is happening in schools by auditing all school management work. The data output from the audits you’ll design and run will be used to drive continuous improvement in the schools.

    The School Inspection Director must work effectively with people from diverse backgrounds, from different functional areas, and must be excited about driving change by recommending improvements to our processes to work towards audits that demonstrate 100% compliance. You will be responsible for the daily management of a large field team, proposing and adapting audits to ensure operational excellence after developing an in-depth understanding of the programme needs on both the government side & the technical partner side,  analysing & providing actionable data from the audits via reports & dashboards, collaborating closely with other teams to ensure that the issues the School Inspection team observed are not only understood but also addressed rapidly.

The primary audit focus for School Inspection is the entire ecosystem of the Schools Department, which includes all aspects of school management, school materials, school personnel, school hardware, and any other action that is part of our overall performance. The Schools Department is also the primary client, as the strong majority of concerns exposed by an audit have to be directly solved or project managed by the Schools Department. Other departments that take action based on audits include Operations, including Supply Chain and IT, as well as People. It is for this reason this function has direct executive reporting and oversight. A critical component of this role is leading meetings, reporting, providing technical expertise, and working in close partnership with the government partner School Inspection team, which includes staff in their headquarters & in the field.

Responsibilities also include ensuring that issues reported by School Inspections capture all the necessary data required for action by other teams and are assigned to the right team for resolution. Where systemic issues are made visible, the School Inspection Director is to work with other teams and the MD to identify such issues and any bottlenecks in the resolution process. 
    • Maintain School Inspection Records. The School Inspection Director will maintain detailed records of School Inspection activities and issues. These reports provide comprehensive records of School Inspection activities and help the organisation determine what’s working and what needs to be corrected.This includes management of the School Inspection field team, ensuring integrity in data collection.
    • Analyze Data Outputs & Create Quality Control Reports. The School Inspection Director will support and enhance the organisation’s performance by analyzing and assessing audit data.

    Senior Regional Manager, Schools

    Schools Group

    Schools ensure efficient management through an organizational structure that divides schools into regions within a territory, and oversight of a region to one Regional Manager. Each Regional Manager is responsible for the management and professional development of Supervisors. A Supervisor is responsible for the support and professional development of a group of schools; Supervisors report to a Regional Manager who in turn is responsible for the success of that school region or territory. The Senior Regional Manager oversees all Regional Managers.

    Supervisors are in schools each day, providing ongoing mentorship, feedback, and ongoing group and personal training. They also engage with all stakeholders of the schools under their care, including government officials, parents, and community groups as may be required. Their role is the nexus of all that we do, ensuring the implementation and results of our overall programming, integrating school management, leadership & development of school staff, instructional design, and technology. Using big data that provides visibility into everyday teaching practices and school management, they work with school staff to improve performance – with the goal of pupil performance and character development in mind – and provide feedback on core programming to our design teams.

    In your role, you will lead your team of Regional Managers in relentlessly pursuing excellence through their Supervisors, and achieving their learning, operational, and school strength outcomes. You will provide oversight and mentoring to Regional Managers so that they can succeed in their oversight and mentoring for Supervisors. You will hold each Regional Manager accountable for meeting their targets while ensuring that they have the management skills to support the achievement of their Supervisors and school goals. You will also use big data to provide targeted feedback, and coaching to individuals on your team. Their success is your success.

    This team is laser-focused on outcomes, inherently collaborative in nature, loves fostering leadership in others, is unwaveringly committed to ensuring a quality education for our pupils, and is excited about creating incredible learning interventions that drive positive behavior and mindset change in adults. You will flourish on this team if you are: a team player, hyper-focused on results, flexible in a dynamic environment, and have fun while working hard.

    This role reports to the Schools Director. 

    What you will do

    • Be responsible for the success of schools and all Regional Managers, including all aspects of learning outcomes, school management, and community and parent engagement.
    • Ensure each Regional Manager delivers on their oversight of Supervisors and individual KPIs. Their schools should deliver the promise of learning and holistic development for children and have a strong and high-performing cohort of teachers.
    • Provide Regional Managers with day-to-day oversight, guidance, and coaching. This includes facilitating regular touchpoints with Regional Managers, reading and responding to reports submitted by the Regional Managers, and providing feedback on their work. 
    • Provide Regional Managers with all training necessary for their success, including their onboarding, professional development, and “train the trainer” sessions for content that Regional Managers need to deliver to their Supervisors.
    • Use data from multiple sources, including your own field visits, quality assurance audits, and big data on school staff behavior, and lead Regional Managers to improve their oversight, mentoring, and professional development for Supervisors.
    • Coach Regional Managers in their use of data to provide data-driven oversight and guidance for Supervisors, and creation of Supervisor route plans.
    • Be in schools 20% of the time, observing Supervisors and providing feedback to Regional Managers on ways the Regional Manager can further support the Supervisor on coaching the school leader and/or teachers.
    • When observing or holding meetings, use rubrics or other documents to support structured observation and reporting.
    • Support specific school events, including collaborating on programming for such events as school opening celebrations, parent-teacher conferences, and school closing celebrations, as well as community showcases and participation in co-curricular competitions.

    • Through Regional Managers, ensure school strength and support enrollment efforts.
    • Through Regional Managers, ensure local regulatory processes are followed, including environmental & social standards, as well as national regulations.
    • Through Regional Managers, ensure that leadership & development sessions are delivered to schools during the course of the school year, and during induction training for new staff. Supervisors should use the materials and programming developed by the Leadership & Development team.
    • Work with the Leadership & Development team and L&D Manager to provide, and facilitate ongoing professional development for Supervisors through Regional Managers
    • Through Regional Managers, support schools through the transition of staff, including school leaders and teachers.
    • Supervise budget and optimization, prevent fraud and ensure financial discipline among Regional Managers.
