Coney Island Prep is a college preparatory public charter school in Brooklyn, New York. Merging growth, performance and commitment, the Coney Island Prep community takes its responsibility to prepare students for the college and career of their choice very seriously. Professionals balance their sense of ownership and responsibility with humility and levity and are supported every step of the way.

Coney Island Prep currently serves over 1,000 scholars across its three schools, including 300 scholars in kindergarten - fourth grade at the elementary school; 360 scholars in fifth - eighth grades at the middle school; and 350 scholars in ninth-twelfth grade at the high school. The mission of Coney Island Prep is to prepare every student to succeed in the college and career of their choice. We achieve success through a rigorous academic program in a supportive and structured school community.


Commitment
There is no more urgent task than to educate students from low-income backgrounds. So we hire professionals who are committed to the core. It's high-energy, fast-paced, tiring and sometimes all-consuming. But we wouldn't have it any other way. And neither would you. You own your work and when you reach your goals, you reach higher. Our leaders work incredibly hard, and are inspired by the urgency of what we do. We need leaders who aren't afraid to ask for help, feedback, and support. They're driven by personal responsibility, data, and results, and they're not above doing whatever's asked. They make friends at work, smile through hectic days, and add a little levity in along the way.

The Opportunity
The mission of the school's Operations Team is to make teaching better and easier by directly supporting the academic program. The Academic Operations Manager (AOM) position is integral to the success of this mission, as they will directly interface with the Academic Leadership team and provide the best and most meaningful information with which to make programmatic decisions.

The AOM will implement and manage clear systems, revising them as necessary or needed, so that Coney Island Prep runs smoothly on a day-to-day basis. He or she will work to ensure all staff can focus on students rather than paperwork. He/She will oversee the academic reporting and data analysis necessary to support the highest level of academic achievement and will be primarily responsible for ensuring that programmatic guidelines for reporting and implementation are properly followed. The AOM will be hired by and report to the Director of Operations.
