Job Description:

• Set network-wide expectations and criteria for how disparities are identified, named, and addressed — establishing a clear, consistent standard that applies across all regions and all functional areas.
• Embed equity into core planning cycles, progress monitoring processes, and action step routines — ensuring that disaggregation is not an add-on but a built-in feature of how the network monitors and responds to student outcomes.
• Monitor network-wide trends and progress toward equity goals; identify patterns across regions and shape system-level responses, solutions, and learning opportunities.
• Evaluate proposed practices for disparate impact before they scale; build the analytical infrastructure and feedback mechanisms that surface equity risks early and consistently.
• Identify and scale effective practices across regions, ensuring that what works in one context becomes a learning opportunity for the full network.
• Design and implement a methodology – in partnership with Regional Superintendents and Schools Team Leadership - to determine which regions require deeper, structured support based on the severity and persistence of disparities in anchor metrics.
• Co-lead equity work in highest-need regions alongside Regional Superintendents and regional senior leadership — guiding strategy, supporting key decisions, and assessing progress with the urgency and rigor the situation demands.
• Interrogate root causes and recommend a clear, measurable, timebound course of action where we see persistent discrepancies in our outcomes.
• Work with Equity Leads to build ongoing regional capacity and ensure that equity work continues with depth and consistency between direct engagements.
• Drive cross-functional coordination across Schools, Operations, Data, Talent, and other functions to ensure a coherent, unified approach to equity across the network — preventing equity from being siloed into a single team or lane.
• Collaborate with senior leaders across divisions on strategic planning, executive-level discussions, and network-wide alignment work where equity is a central consideration.

Requirements:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in equity, diversity, inclusion, organizational development, or related systems-level leadership work, ideally in K-12 education or complex nonprofit environments.
• Proven record of designing and implementing equity-centered systems at scale — policy frameworks, practice guidelines, and measurement approaches that drive organizational accountability.
• Demonstrated ability to advise senior executives on sensitive, complex, and contested issues; strong judgment about when to push, when to partner, and when to hold the line.
• Strong fluency with data disaggregation and equity measurement — able to define what success looks like and drive organizational accountability against it.
• Deep expertise in racial equity, diversity, and inclusion across adult workforce and student-facing practices.
• Strong track record of navigating cross-functional and cross-regional stakeholder environments in high-trust, high-stakes conditions.
• Prior practitioner experience in K-12 is strongly preferred (e.g., teacher, school leader, or equivalent role with direct student/family-facing accountability)

Benefits:

• 25 holidays for + 18 days additional flexible PTO days (flexible PTO increases to 23 days for years 3 and 4 and to 28 days for years 5+).
• 100% paid parental leave
• 100% coverage of the premium for employee and 75% for employee + family’s medical/dental/vision plans.
• Wellness benefits such as fitness reimbursements, discounted tickets to theme parks/attractions, backup care support for children and adults/elders, and our employee assistance program
• Finance Security benefits include such as a 401K retirement plan with 4% match, employer-sponsored legal plans, life/disability insurance, and flexible spending accounts
