Job Description

Description

Organization Overview
 

Excel Academy was founded in 2003 with the mission to provide a high-quality education to students in East Boston and Chelsea Massachusetts, communities that are predominantly low-income and Latinx and historically have faced significant social and educational barriers. Our success in Massachusetts is proof that the opportunity gap can be closed and we opened a new school in Rhode Island in 2022.  At Excel Academy Charter Schools, we believe that when a student has the support and tools to pursue a productive post-secondary pathway aligned to their personal identity and values, it can fundamentally change their life trajectory.   

At Excel Academy we learn from our students, families, and staff and make improvements. We have increasingly adapted to provide a holistic education that values our community as collaborators in the learning process, social-emotional support, equity for diverse learners, and fosters identity development. We prioritize an approach that is both rigorous and inclusive. Our team of passionate, intelligent, driven, and loving staff are at the core of the work we do.   

About the Role  

Excel’s Talent Recruiter will work within Excel Academy’s Talent Acquisition function and will report to the Director of Talent. Excel’s Talent Team ensures that Excel has the diverse, excellent, and mission-aligned talent it needs to accomplish its mission. The team leads Network-wide recruitment and retention initiatives and supports campus-based hiring for 4 schools in Massachusetts and a founding school in Rhode Island. A successful Talent Recruiter will have astute attention to detail, outstanding communication and customer service skills, the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment, and the ability to build relationships and work collaboratively with others. The roles and responsibilities of the Talent Recruiter will evolve over time, as will our needs, given our expansion to Rhode Island. 

This role is expected to operate in a hybrid manner, roughly 2-3 days/week in person and 2-3 days per week remotely.
