Coordinator, People

Thanks for your interest in Success Academy! Running a large, fast-growing, and high-performing network of public charter schools takes a village - families, children, teachers, staff and faculty, advocates, and supporters alike. We are growing fast in New York and expanding to Florida, and we would love to welcome you to our community! We work tirelessly every day to ensure children have access to a fun, rigorous, whole-child education regardless of zip code or economic status. When you join SA, you play a part in giving every student who walks through our doors a fair shot at reaching his or her potential.

We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented People Team Coordinator to act as a central pillar of operational coordination across the broader People department.

• Project Support: Assist with project-based work to enhance team effectiveness and operational efficiency.

• General Execution: Act as a proactive central point of contact for the team, performing general execution tasks with a forward-looking lens to ensure all departmental processes and events run seamlessly.

• Communication & Preparation: Draft and proofread internal correspondence and meeting agendas, ensuring all materials are polished and professional.

• Brand Ambassadorship: Serve as an on-site face of the People organization, embodying the values and culture of Success Academy for all staff and visitors.

• Confidentiality: Handle sensitive and confidential information with the utmost discretion and care.

Qualifications & Traits

• Experience: Bachelor’s degree; 1 years of experience in a fast-paced coordination, administrative, or office management role (internship experience in HR or Talent is a plus).

• Technical Proficiency: Strong proficiency in Google Workspace (Gmail, Sheets, Docs, Calendar); familiarity with tools like Workday or Greenhouse is preferred.

• Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders.
