One City Schools is a K-8 charter school network in Madison, Wisconsin, dedicated to breaking cycles of achievement and opportunity gaps affecting children of color and under-resourced children. The organization operates three schools and serves as a model for 21st century equity-focused education reform. One City Schools leverages evidence-based educational frameworks including EL Education, CASEL-aligned social-emotional learning, TLAC strategies, and CRISP values (Compassion, Risk, Integrity, Self-Respect, Persistence) to prepare all children from birth through higher education to tackle today's challenges, solve tomorrow's greatest problems, and lead successful, happy, and enriching lives as adults.

The Senior Administrative Manager ensures that One City Schools' front office is secure, welcoming, and well run every day, and that attendance data and family communication flow smoothly between families and school leadership. The front desk is the first point of contact for every scholar, family member, staff member, and visitor, and the tone this role sets there shapes how the school is experienced by the community.
