OUR MISSION
The mission of Kansas City Girls Preparatory Academy (KCGPA) is to develop young women to discover their voice, succeed in college, and lead impactful, meaningful lives. KCGPA will be the first single-gender, open-enrollment charter public school in Kansas City. It will enroll 100 fifth grade girls beginning in fall 2019 and grow one grade per year to form a 5th-8th grade middle school and a 9th-12th grade high school.
THE ROLE
The founding Director of Operations (DOO) will be a full-time, exempt position beginning in August 2018. Prior to the beginning of this full-time position, KCGPA seeks to hire the individual who will fill this role as a consultant to support initial operational planning and systems implementation. Time commitment for the consulting role will vary from 4-20 hours per week and will be planned in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer. The exact start date of the full-time role is negotiable and may be adjusted as launch plans evolve.
As the school grows, the founding DOO is responsible for building the operational foundations of the school in support of student culture and academic achievement. The pre-launch planning and first two years after launch will set the trajectory for the school's long-term success. As the school grows, the founding DOO will oversee implementation and maintenance of clear systems that allow school leaders and teachers to focus on students. This role will work closely with KCGPA's network team, outside consultants and vendors, and families and community partners. This position reports to the Chief Executive Officer.
