Uncommon Schools (Troy, NY)

Operations Fellow - Uncommon Schools is offering a one-year fellowship to prepare to open a school the following year as an Operations Leader. After the fellowship, the Operations Leader will assume all the responsibilities of the Operations job description.
 
GENERAL SUMMARY: The Fellowship provides a robust development process to prepare leaders to oversee the ongoing operations at a school in conjunction with the Principal and Uncommon Home Office. The Fellow and eventual Operations Leader will work very closely with Uncommon's Director of Operations and Director of Leadership Development.  The Operations Fellow is a full-time employee, hired, supported, and evaluated by the Managing Director. The Operations Fellow must have a B.A. and ideally has an M.P.P., M.B.A., or J.D. 
 
Prepare for success.
The Fellowship year is based on a foundation of six core elements that are aligned to the competencies of Uncommon leaders. Each element is designed to build Fellows' capacity towards becoming effective operational school leaders. These include the following: 

  • Evaluation and Feedback
  • Fellowship Deliverables and Immersion
  • Operations Leadership Meetings
  • Professional Development
  • Reading and Discussion Groups
  • School Startup Preparation

School Visits

Throughout the fellowship year, Fellows will receive coaching and feedback from their Managing Directors in addition to the school leaders they are working closely with during their fellowships. Each Fellow will have an Individual Development Plan that identifies the specific areas of development around which their fellowship will be customized.
 
Fellowship Deliverables and School Guidelines
During the fall of their fellowship year, Fellows will be housed and immersed in an Uncommon School to observe and learn in the environment of a successful school. While in this residency, the Fellow will be involved in operations work at the school, Uncommon-wide Operations projects, and observations and analysis of Operational systems. In addition, Fellows will be responsible for completing a variety of pre-determined deliverables that are designed to provide active learning that creates an input or experience to shape the development of their leadership and schools.
 
Operations Leadership Meetings
Fellows will join the current Operations leaders for periodic meetings to share and tackle current Operational challenges across Uncommon schools and to build their support network of current leaders.
 
Professional Development
Starting in the summer, Fellows will engage in professional development focusing on three main domains: Cultural Leadership, Leadership and Management, and Operational Leadership. Each professional development session will be lead by our experienced group of Managing Directors, current leaders and a select group of external partners.
 
Fellows will have a recommended reading list and periodic dinner discussions with current school leaders that will center around a particular topic on the reading list.
 
School Startup Preparation
During the spring of their fellowship year, Fellows will begin work on their future schools in collaboration with their Managing Directors, their instructional partners, and the Uncommon Home Office.   This work will include (but is not limited to) the development of the following: 

  • Facility (securing a facility, managing any renovations)
  • HR Certification & Personnel management
  • Purchasing
  • Operational Blueprint (development of systems and routines)
