Customer Facing Title: Director of School Operations
Job Overview
The Director of School Operations (DSO) is a senior, enterprise-level leadership role responsible for operational excellence across a portfolio of Connections Academy schools. The DSO focuses on strengthening the effectiveness of school leaders and leadership teams through hands‑on partnership, coaching, and operational problem‑solving. This role directly manages the primary school leader and at each school will work directly with principals, directors, and school leadership teams to ensure schools are operationally strong, well‑supported, and positioned to serve students successfully.
The DSO uses a multi-layer leadership model to ensure alignment and execution of school operations to PVS standards and values. This is accomplished by supporting operational systems, compliance structures, and leadership accountability through school-based leadership teams. The scope of this role is inherently complex and high-impact, requiring a majority of time spent working directly with schools, the ability to lead leaders, operate at scale, and balance competing priorities across multiple schools and PVS simultaneously.
The DSO works in a number of cross-functional teams identified as key members to accomplish school goals. This includes close partnership with the School Success Partner (SSP), who holds overall accountability for school/account success and continuity of operations. In addition, they provide critical support to operationalize and hold leaders accountable for academic improvement strategies identified by the Academic Outcomes Teams.
