Role Overview:
The Associate Director of Data Operations leads day-to-day strategy, standards, and execution for the Operations Data team across the Core (LA + SGV) and Inland Empire (IE) regions. Reporting to the Director of Operations, the Associate Director owns the data operations strategy, reporting governance, and quality framework that underpin Woodcraft Rangers' program delivery, funder reporting, and district partnerships. This role is the primary owner of data partnerships with school district contacts, the primary point of accountability for funder data submissions (ASES, 21st CCLC/ASSETs, ELOP, and foundation funders), and the leader who ensures Core and IE operate from one shared data model - not two separate regional systems. The Associate Director directly supervises the Core Data Manager, IE Data Manager, and Data Analyst, and partners closely with Program, Operations, Compliance, IT, and finance leadership to ensure data systems are consistent, scalable, and serve the organization's mission.
Responsibilities:

• Own the data side of funder reporting relationships for ASES, 21st CCLC/ASSETs, ELOP, and foundation funders, including translating requirements into team workflows and ensuring on-time, accurate submissions.
• Coordinate with Compliance and Program leadership to ensure all funder and district reporting obligations are met without gaps or duplication.
• Represent Woodcraft Rangers in technical conversations with district and funder data leads.

Team Leadership

• Directly supervise the Core (LA + SGV) Data Manager, IE Data Manager, and Data Analyst; set performance expectations, conduct regular 1:1s, and develop team capability.
• Coach Managers on team leadership, escalation judgment, and cross-regional consistency.
• Lead recruitment, onboarding, and ongoing development for data team roles.
• Build a culture of high data quality, professional growth, and accountability across the team.

Cross-Functional Partnership

• Partner closely with Program leadership as the primary internal customer for data, ensuring reporting definitions, dashboards, and quality follow-up support program decision-making.
• Partner with Operations, Compliance, IT, and Finance leaders to align data systems and reporting with broader organizational needs.
• Translate strategic direction from the Director of Operations and COO into clear, executable workflows for the data team.
• Escalate to the Director of Operations on strategic decisions, cross-functional conflicts, scope changes, and capacity risks.

Systems & Operations

• Oversee the consistent use and configuration of attendance, enrollment, and reporting systems including EZReports, Afterschool HQ, and district SIS platforms (Aeries, Synergy, Infinite Campus).
• Lead system improvements, integrations, and migrations in partnership with IT.
• Ensure all data handling complies with FERPA, district data sharing agreements, and applicable student data privacy laws.
