Are you looking to make a positive impact in children's lives?
We are seeking a full time Program Manager to coordinate before or after school chess clubs, camps, and teaching staff in Northern Virginia (Fairfax, Alexandria, and southern Prince William). The Program Manager is responsible for ensuring high program quality in approximately 70-90 elementary schools each week and continued growth of clubs.
Silver Knights Chess Academy has taught chess to over 120,000 children over the last 15+ years. We offer in-person classes, camps, and tournaments in Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland, as well as an online Academy with players from all 50 states and 30+ countries. We are proud to make a positive impact on the lives of so many children and create the next generation of chess-lovers.
Who You Are:
  • You think it's great when kids learn chess, even if you're not an experienced chess player yourself.
  • You are highly detail-oriented possessing strong administrative skills
  • You enjoy working with children
  • Love the feeling of crossing items off your "to-do" list
  • You are a self starter who can prioritize your work and complete tasks in a timely, efficient manner
  • You appreciate a friendly work environment

This Job Is...
  • Administrative work. You will be the point person to email, call, and meet with schools or PTAs. You'll coordinate the associated marketing and registration. You'll ensure high quality in your chess programs on a daily basis by reviewing club notes and other associated duties. Data entry, proficiency, organization, and attention to detail are especially important to this position.
  • Employee Management. You'll manage, schedule, mentor, visit, and evaluate a team of between 25 to 40 part-time chess coaches and aides.
  • Customer Service. You will be responsible for providing excellent customer service and maintaining positive relationships to all types of customers -- individual parents, schools & PTAs, and more. You'll visit chess clubs to monitor program quality and maintain positive relationships with site representatives.

Compensation and Benefits:
This is a salaried position with annual compensation of $50,000 - $60,000 commensurate with experience, payable biweekly. Benefits include paid time off, health/dental/vision benefits, mileage reimbursement, and retirement matching starting in the 3rd calendar year of employment.
Additional Information:
This is a full time, hybrid work position that includes work from home opportunities, weekly in-person site visits (Fairfax county, Alexandria City and southern Prince William) and working at our headquarters in Fairfax, VA. Reliable transportation is required.
Training will take place in-person in our Fairfax headquarters. We are a diverse workforce and are an equal opportunity employer. We are a safe and drug-free workplace.
