Job Description
TEAM: Colorado
REPORTS TO: Senior Vice President, Regional Field Executive
LOCATION: Colorado Regional Team
WHAT YOU’LL DO
The opportunity to reimagine public education is now. Since 2007, Teach For America has helped shape the education system in Colorado, driving dramatic improvements for kids alongside partners. From building principals to teachers in the classroom, Teach For America's impact in Colorado Springs and Pueblo grows larger every year. In Denver, our members work inside and outside the educational system toward educational equity. We have alumni who hold elected office and those leading in the policy, advocacy and non-profit spaces. At the same time, we have a deep presence in 75 percent of high-poverty, high-performing schools and account for one in ten teachers and one in five school leaders in Denver.
Since our launch of the Denver region in 2007, the number of students and families who have access to high-performing schools has grown significantly. Still, far too many students and families don’t have access to educational opportunities that lead to economic mobility and true self-determination. The next phase of innovation will require a bold leader, and that’s where you fit in.
WHAT YOU’LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
TFA is seeking its next Executive Director to lead the Colorado region to achieve the local 2030 impact goal. This leader will work shoulder-to-shoulder with existing champions and enlist new advocates – including our corps members, parents, students, community leaders, donors, and elected officials – as partners in the success of all children. The next leader will lead a strong, accomplished, and innovative regional team and will play a key role in public affairs across the statewide landscape. The next Executive Director’s mission is to evolve and hone the role that Teach for America must play to accelerate educational opportunity for all. The Executive Director will lead a team of 10 staff members and will be responsible for raising more than $4,000,000 per year.

Provide deep thought partnership, stewardship and cover as needed to direct reports and team members engaged in the cultivation of emergent work aligned to the region’s strategic direction.
