KIPP DC seeks Human Resources Director

Organizational Overview:

Students deserve to attend high-quality schools that provide rigorous instruction, a safe learning environment, and experiences that will best prepare them for a myriad of career and life opportunities. Yet, thousands across the District of Columbia have limited access to quality educational options – and it doesn’t have to be that way. At KIPP DC, each day we see thousands of students arrive to school ready to learn and grow. We are a network of eighteen schools educating ~6500 students and aspire to improve life outcomes for the next generation of Washingtonians by equipping students and alumni with the knowledge, skills, and mindsets to become thoughtful, intentional citizens in the competitive world and lead successful lives full of choice and opportunity.

Position Overview:

The Human Resources Director role is a unique opportunity for an individual who is interested in developing the HR function in a growing education non-profit organization. The HR Director will be responsible for developing a great HR function that serves the needs and delivers extraordinary service to all employees. The HR Director will therefore be an individual who embraces continuous improvement and innovation, is detail-oriented, and relishes the challenge of finding ways to work smarter and more efficiently.

The HR will report to the Managing Director of Talent, manage two Associate Directors of HR, and oversee junior HR staff. The Director will oversee the HR generalist team and the HR benefits team while working closely and collaboratively with teachers, school leadership and the KIPP DC Recruiting and Finance Teams. The Director will work closely with the Director of Employee Experience to support employee issues, terminations, and investigations.

This is an ideal opportunity for an entrepreneurial individual to enhance and develop HR tools, systems, and processes to help a thriving, successful organization reach its next level of growth.
