Description: Site Manager, Talent Management – NYC
Performance Management
New York, NY
TNTP seeks a full-time
Site Manager, Talent Management for our Performance Management Group. The Site
Manager, Talent Management will be based in NYC, and will travel to partner
schools and networks several times a month. The Site Manager may choose to work
from our central office in Brooklyn or from a home office. This position is
available immediately, and TNTP will offer a relocation stipend to help defer
the cost of moving, if applicable.
Performance Management
Group and Talent Management Initiative
TNTP is advancing
human capital policies and practices that support teacher effectiveness in
districts and states and improving the way school leaders and administrators
manage their teachers. This starts with robust teacher evaluation and
development systems that produce clear information on how teachers are
performing their most critical role: advancing student learning. TNTP is helping
its partners at the state, district and school level to design and implement
evaluation and development systems, and use information about teacher
performance in decisions about hiring and staffing, development, compensation,
promotion, and retention.
In NYC, TNTP is
working with the district’s Office of Teacher Effectiveness (OTE) to ensure
that school and network leaders have the training and resources they need to
improve the overall quality of their workforce by delivering accurate feedback
and evaluation ratings that will lead to strategic staffing decisions. This is
our third year working with NYCDOE on this project and, while we were
previously focused on direct model design and implementation work in pilot
schools, this year we hope to help the district build its capacity to implement
a new system at scale.
Role and
Responsibilities
The Site Manager will
support the NYCDOE in its efforts to implement a new teacher evaluation system
in approximately 200 schools and 40 networks this year, and equip them with the
skills and tools to use this new system in the years to come. The Site Manager
will have a profound impact on NYC public schools, working closely with our
client to contribute to strategic decision-making in coaching school leaders
and network staff, analyzing data to drive strategy and proposing solutions to
any challenges we face in helping OTE staff, school and network leaders
succeed.

• Track progress
towards contract goals and make strategic decisions regarding client management
and support, to lead the team’s efforts to meet them

Effectiveness Program
• Manage
implementation of the program’s certification process including selecting
videos, facilitating master scoring sessions and transitioning these skills to
the client team
• Research best
practices in the field to inform new implementation team initiatives (e.g.,
School Leader-Teacher data conversations in mid-year evaluations)
• Co-observe coaching
visits to gather evidence of successful practices in the field and inform the
design of Talent Coach professional development
• Collaborate with
members of the NYCPM communication team to design online learning resources to
support implementation
• Help clients to use
data to inform their weekly priorities and decision-making
• Support clients with
planning and creating materials for weekly staff meetings
