Virtual It Jobs Near Me

Characteristics

Who You Are

• You have built or led a virtual high school, and you know what it takes to make learning work when the classroom is a screen and the student is somewhere you cannot see.

• You have a heart for students who have been counted out. You believe a young person who has fallen behind, or walked away entirely, can still build a life of meaning, and you want to be a reason they come back.

• You lead people well. You can hire, train, and hold accountable a full staff of teachers, enrollment specialists, and support staff, most of whom you will lead remotely.

• You think in systems. You know a remarkable student experience is not an accident. It is the product of clear processes, good data, and consistent execution.

• You are comfortable owning outcomes. Graduation, attendance and participation, credit recovery, and re-engaging students who disappear. You track them, you own them, and you move them.

• You know how to keep students engaged from a distance, and you are honest that this is the hardest part of virtual education, not a footnote to it.

• You move with urgency and care at the same time. You act fast, but never at the expense of a student or a teammate.

• You are a builder. You would rather help shape something still taking form than inherit a machine that already runs itself.

• Above all, you want your work to matter. You measure success by the futures your students are able to build.

Responsibilities

Student Experience and Academics

• Own the quality of the virtual student experience from a student's first login through graduation, and make it something students actually want to show up for.

• Lead the delivery of curriculum and instruction across the school, holding a high bar for rigor, relevance, and genuine career readiness.

• Build the systems that keep students engaged and progressing online, where attendance and participation can never be taken for granted.

• Oversee credit recovery so students who have fallen behind can catch up and graduate on a realistic path.

• Ensure counseling, coaching, and wraparound support reach students effectively even at a distance.

People and Team Leadership

• Recruit, hire, and develop the full virtual school staff, including teachers, enrollment specialists, and support staff.

• Lead a largely remote team with clear expectations and real accountability to them.

• Train and empower staff to execute the vision without constant oversight, building leaders at every level of the school.

• Grow a school culture rooted in our governing values of growth, excellence, integrity, service, and teamwork, even without a shared building to hold it together.

Enrollment and Retention

• Partner with the enrollment and marketing team to hit enrollment targets and keep the school at healthy capacity.

• Own student retention. Reduce dropout and re-engage students who disconnect before they are lost for good.

• Watch the early signals of disengagement and act on them before a student slips away.

Operations and Compliance

• Run the day-to-day operations of the virtual school so that staff and students always have what they need to succeed.

• Ensure full compliance with Ohio's requirements for e-schools and dropout prevention and recovery schools, including attendance and participation documentation, EMIS reporting, and Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (ODEW) rules.

• Manage the technology backbone of the school, including the student information system, learning management system, and communication tools, in partnership with central support.

• Deliver the compliance, performance, and reporting the school board and state sponsor rely on.

Data and Performance

• Own the school's core numbers: graduation rate, attendance and participation, credit completion, and retention.

• Use data to find where students are stalling and redesign the parts of the experience that are not working.

• Report performance honestly to the Vice President of School Operations and drive continuous improvement against Ohio's dropout recovery report card measures.
