Ingenuity Prep Hiring for Human Resources Manager at Washington, DC Full Time

OVERVIEW

Ingenuity Prep prepares PreK – 8th grade students in Ward 8 to succeed in college and beyond as impactful civic leaders. Our innovative instructional model promotes small group learning for students, collaborative teaching teams, and robust coaching and professional development opportunities for teachers and staff.

We are looking for an outstanding, innovative, and emerging talent professional who is deeply committed to our students and staff, has a passion for customer service, and wants to help build our team. As a member of the Ingenuity Prep Student’s Talent Team, you will join a four-person team to support leaders, teachers, students, and families as a critical partner in ensuring we’re one of the best places to work in DC!

In this role, you will manage the daily functions of Human Resources at IP. One day you may be onboarding new staff while the next day you’re managing payroll questions from current staff.

WHAT WE’RE ABOUT

Already out-performing many of their more privileged peers around the city, in the coming years, Ingenuity Prep’s students will provide an expectation-defying and achievement-gap-closing proof point — showing what our kids are capable of when we provide the right opportunities, expectations, and support.
