2. People Data Management and Analysis

Serve as the primary lead for all People Circle data and analytics, using insights to drive continuous improvement in the staff experience.

  • Overall Data Strategy and Management : Serving as the holistic lead for our people data management & analysis approach, tools, and system.
  • Data Systems and Integrity : Manage key people data systems, ensuring data accuracy, consistency, and security across a globally distributed team.
  • Data Reporting : Track and report on key organizational metrics (e.g., new hire, attrition, and engagement data) and respond to internal data requests.
  • Survey Leadership : Lead the end-to-end project management of our annual Staff Engagement Survey and Development Needs Survey, from design and launch through data processing, analysis, and presenting key insights for organizational reflection.
  • 3. Excellence in Core People Cycles, Systems, and Funds

    Drive execution excellence for critical, organization-wide annual cycles, administrative processes, and strategic staff funds.

  • Performance Management : Plan and coordinate the annual staff member performance review cycle timelines, draft global communications, and ensure all relevant resources for goal-setting, feedback, and development planning are current and accessible.
  • Sponsorship Program Operations : Manage the internal organizational mentorship program by tracking sponsor / staff member matches, developing communication plans, and ensuring sponsors receive timely updates and necessary materials to effectively support their colleagues.
  • Staff Funds Administration : Lead the operational management of key staff funding mechanisms, including the Staff Connection Fund and the Individual Development Fund (for external professional development).
  • Budget Management : Serve as the budget manager for the People Circle, tracking expenses, managing vendor payments, and ensuring resourceful stewardship of funds allocated for learning and well-being initiatives.
  • 4. Strategic Operations and Ad-Hoc Projects for Organizational Ease

    Contribute high-judgment operational expertise and project management capacity to strategic organizational initiatives designed to create a modern and effective workplace. Examples include :

  • Modern Workplace Solutions (MWS) Project : Contribute to cross-team projects that streamline organizational systems, improve cross-team collaboration, and enable greater ease in our global, remote workspace.
  • AI Adoption Project : Contribute to a cross-team initiative to develop, prioritize, and pilot AI use cases across the organization, helping to integrate these tools to create greater efficiency and capacity for staff.
  • Staff Milestone Appreciation : Coordinate and manage staff appreciation initiatives for key milestones, fostering a culture of recognition.
  • Secondment Program : Work closely with the CAO to support a secondment program, ensuring smooth coordination for hiring managers and our external partner.
  • Ad Hoc Projects : Contribute to other ad hoc projects as needed, such as leading or participating in working groups focused on various organizational initiatives.
  • Qualifications and Experience

  • Professional Background : 2+ years of experience in roles that combine strategic analysis with hands-on execution—such as consulting, program management, or organizational operations—strongly preferred.
  • Strong Project Management Acumen : Proven experience managing complex projects end-to-end, ideally in a global or remote context, with a high degree of organizational skill and attention to detail.
  • Data and Systems Management : Demonstrated experience working in Excel / Google Sheets, including a comfort with data analysis and the ability to translate data into actionable insights.
  • Exceptional organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities : Effectively juggle competing demands, maintain attention to detail, and ensure timely execution across a high volume of concurrent projects.
  • Proactive problem-solving and sound judgment : Anticipate challenges, identify potential risks early, and take initiative to address issues or seek input when needed.
  • Strategic mindset with strong critical thinking : Approach operational tasks with a big-picture perspective, using critical thinking to drive smarter decisions and more effective execution.
  • Strong Communication & Stakeholder Relations : Exceptional skills in both written communication and building trusting relationships across a global staff. Serve as a knowledgeable, approachable first point of contact for staff questions.
  • Ability to thrive in a distributed leadership model : Effectively balance personal ownership and high-judgment decision-making with actively seeking and integrating input from stakeholders across the global team.
  • Ambiguity Management : Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity, manage competing priorities, and work effectively within a dynamic and evolving global environment.
  • Operational Judgment : Strong ability to exercise independent judgment, anticipate challenges, and make sound decisions that balance organizational principles with operational efficiency.
  • Commitment to Teach For All’s shared purpose and Core Values
  • What Teach For All Offers
