Regular feedback and adapting session plans based on each student's progress are also effective strategies to overcome these challenges.

Description
Student Success Coach
Characteristics
Who You Are:
  • A Culture Catalyst: You are a mentor and teacher at heart, and you take that responsibility seriously. You radiate energy, hope, and the belief that every person you interact with-regardless of their past-can build a future of meaning.
  • An Inspiring Facilitator: You thrive in front of a group. You don't just "deliver information," you lead experiences. You can take an orientation process and turn it into a transformational moment for a young person.
  • A Relentless Advocate: You are deeply committed to student success. You recognize the barriers our students face and are proactive in helping them navigate the academic and social-emotional shift needed to design and accomplish a life of purpose and accomplishment.
  • A Model of Excellence: You believe deeply in the transformation a commitment to excellence can have in a person's life, and those around you can recognize that belief in all that you do. You are organized, on time, and know how to set an example and standard of excellence for others to follow.
  • A Collaborative Builder: While you love the daily execution of working with students, you are also a thinker. You enjoy providing feedback on what's working and what isn't, refining processes and programs, and finding ways to better serve our students.
  • An Engaging Communicator: You are engaging and approachable. You've never really had a problem with getting others to listen to you or your ideas. You have the "soft skills" to build immediate trust with students and the "hard skills" to communicate progress clearly to the School Director and families.

Who We Are:
Our mission is to empower others to achieve their full potential. That includes our students, our partners, and you. We are a network of dropout prevention and recovery charter schools in Ohio committed to helping our students build a life of meaning and impact. Regardless of a student's background or past, we strive to give them the tools, resources, and vision needed to become the best version of themselves. We believe that when young people gain real-world skills, confidence, and purpose, they can create the futures they desire.
Our schools blend academics, career readiness, and wraparound services that meet the needs of the whole student. We are in constant pursuit of not only serving students in the best way possible but also becoming a pillar in the communities we serve.
Everything we do in our organization is guided by our mission. Our culture is a natural outgrowth of our amazing people, whose lives and work are defined by our governing values of growth, excellence, integrity, service, and teamwork.
Responsibilities
Discovery & Onboarding Execution
  • Lead the "Discovery" process, serving as the primary facilitator for all new student orientations.
  • Guide students through the initial assessment phase, including Star testing and strengths evaluations, to baseline their starting point.
  • Facilitate the creation of students' first "Life Blueprint," including their mission statement, governing values, life goals, and career plan.
  • Ensure every student understands the school's culture, expectations, and the "why" behind our mission-driven model.

Student Mentoring & Retention
  • Maintain a dedicated caseload of students, serving as their primary mentor during their time at the school.
  • Monitor student progress, intervening early when students show signs of disengagement.
  • Conduct regular mentoring sessions to build deep relationships and provide the accountability students need to stay on track.
  • Partner with Teachers and Family Advocates to ensure students receive the academic and wraparound support necessary for long-term success.

Program Design & Refinement
  • Participate in regular strategy sessions with the School Director to review the effectiveness of the orientation program.
  • Contribute data-driven insights and "boots-on-the-ground" feedback to refine Discovery curriculum and student experience workflows.
  • Assist in the creation and piloting of new student engagement initiatives or social-emotional learning components, as needed.

Administrative & Data Excellence
  • Ensure all student onboarding documentation and assessment data are entered accurately and timely into school systems.
  • Track and report on key metrics such as Discovery completion rates and 30/60/90-day student retention.
  • Support school-wide events, such as Graduation or "Signing Day," to celebrate student milestones.

Position Requirements
Qualifications
Required
  • Strong alignment with the Fusion Ed mission and a passion for working with underserved, opportunity youth.

  • Exceptional public speaking and interpersonal communication skills.
  • The ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment.
