  • Oversee staff responsible for creating reviews, protocols, reports, and data analysis content, ensuring alignment with program objectives and federal performance standards.
  • Ensure workloads are assigned, managed, and corrected to provide high-level quality in all client deliverables.
  • Implement a quality control system for monitoring and reviewing client work and reviews developed and used within the nationwide program.
  • Create and ensure timely reporting to the client.
  • Manage staff, ensuring expectations are clear, one-on-one meetings and team meetings are scheduled frequently, and performance issues are handled effectively.

Requirements :

  • A master’s degree in early childhood, Early Childhood Education, or social service administration-related fields, such as Developmental Psychology, Education, Pediatric Science, Social Work, or other relevant degrees, is required to serve vulnerable populations.
  • Minimum of three years of experience managing client relationships in client-facing federal projects with a track record of meeting client deliverable deadlines on time and on budget.
  • Five to seven years of experience managing the Office of Head Start or similar early childhood education programs or initiatives nationwide.
  • Must have experience with monitoring tools such as Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS), Focus Area One (FA1), Focus Area Two (FA2), and Risk Assessment Notification (RAN), and knowledge of federal performance standards.
  • Five years of experience managing staff with a passion for building successful teams.
  • Strong verbal communication and presentation skills with the ability to provide technical assistance professionally.
  • Strong writing skills and the ability to communicate clearly without clerical, spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors.
  • Meticulous attention to detail and ability to match field conditions with relevant federal statutes, regulations, grant requirements, and best practices.
