Bridge International has developed extensive systems and tools for its operations that enable a new hire from the local community to easily and successfully open and manage the operations of a school – we call this our “School in Box” model.

Most of the systems and tools are low-tech and paper-based because of the environment in which we work. It starts with a detailed Operators Manual and spans across all instructional, financial, operations and human resource management issues and systems.

Support Managers, through their team of SO’s (and sometimes directly) ensure that the management and monitoring systems and tools that are part of our “School in a Box” are effectively implemented at individual schools both by school managers and teachers.

Additionally, the Support Manager is responsible for the following –

• Authorize vendor payments to be made to the schools
• Resolve issues arising between the SO & School Manager for smooth functioning of the school
• Constantly evaluate and assess the performance of the school and SO’s
• Attend parent meetings that are held at the school
• Maintain relationships with the parent reps and the elders within the community
• Ensure motivation of the staff at the school

• You have experience managing businesses in challenging environments.
• You have proven that you are capable of motivating, supervising and supporting other managers, being supportive or tough when the situation is appropriate
• You can set goals and targets for your staff
• You have successfully mentored individuals over a long period of time
• Experience in working in very underprivileged communities (slums) is a real plus
• You are not afraid of getting your hands dirty
• You have experience managing projects with many moving pieces, and building and managing teams of people
• You function well in a fast-paced informal environment where constant change is the norm and the bar for quality is set high.
• University degree and/or equivalent background, in, Business Administration, Financial Management, Economics, or related fields of operations.

Our team has a passionate belief that basic primary education is critical to the development of every child, family, community and nation.

We believe that it is possible to address this critical need for poor families through new and innovative approaches leveraging the private sector, and that by providing low-cost but high-quality primary education, we will give millions of children the opportunity to accomplish their dreams.

We are looking for someone who wants to join us in this rewarding task.

Requirements/Skills:

• 5-7 years experience of relevant professional work experience in operations, management, or education. Experience in managing diverse teams.
