Programs Manager Jobs in Aurora, CO (NOW HIRING)

Denver Test Prep (DTP) is looking for a dynamic, experienced educator and administrator to manage our nonprofit partnerships and programs. As Manager of Nonprofit Programs, you'll play a key role on a high-performing team at a locally owned company that's expanding its reach and impact across Colorado.

This role blends direct instruction, program leadership, and administrative coordination, with the balance shifting throughout the year. You'll serve as lead instructor for a number of nonprofit ACT/SAT programs and also carry a significant caseload of private tutoring clients, while managing the behind-the-scenes work that keeps our nonprofit partnerships running smoothly.

We're looking for someone who is both an excellent administrator and an impactful, engaging educator - equally comfortable managing program logistics and building strong relationships with students, families, and community partners.

This position offers a flexible schedule and a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact as an educator, work closely with community partners, and grow into a leadership role with long-term career potential.

WORK HOURS EXPECTATIONS AND SCHEDULE

Candidates should be ready to work 50–60 hours per week during the school year for the next three years to fast-track their career growth and earnings. This is a leadership-track position with the expectation of promotion and total compensation of $100,000+ within three years.

While the schedule is flexible, most tutoring will take place on weekday evenings (2–9 pm) and weekends. The Manager will work 5–6 consistent tutoring days during the school year and 3–4 during the summer. Meetings and administrative work can largely be done remotely. The role includes unlimited vacation, with an expectation of 4–6 weeks off annually, including school holidays.

Candidates must have reliable transportation and be able to travel throughout the Denver metro area, with occasional trips to Boulder.
