About KIPP Team and Family

KIPP TEAM & Family is our network office that includes support teams - such as Leadership Development, Recruitment, Advocacy, Facilities, Finance, HR and more - dedicated to empowering our schools and ensuring the success of KIPP students throughout New Jersey and Miami. Our schools are part of the nationally recognized “Knowledge Is Power Program” network of free, open-enrollment, college-preparatory public schools dedicated to preparing students for success in college and in life. The first KIPP New Jersey school opened in Newark in 2002 and since then our school network has expanded to educate 8,135 students in grades K-12. By 2025, KIPP New Jersey will provide a world-class education to over 10,300 students across fifteen schools in Newark and five in Camden.

In 2018, we grew our KIPP community in response to a need for high-quality school options for students in Greater Miami’s Urban Core communities. That led to the creation of KIPP Miami, which currently educates more than 1,000 students in four schools, with plans to reach 5,800 students by 2025. By offering highly effective educators with strong bonds to families, more time in school learning, services that support a variety of student needs, and a culture focused on achievement, our students in New Jersey and Miami are on the path to and through college, career, and choice-filled lives.

Our ideal candidate has experience developing and executing marketing campaigns and is comfortable with supporting the marketing department with administrative tasks, as well as long-term strategy. To excel in this role you must have a creative, problem-solving mindset, love working with data and storytelling, and have a deep commitment to equality in education. This role is part of our KIPP TEAM & Family Administrative Team and will support our KIPP NJ and KIPP Miami regions. This role requires significant travel to our schools in Newark, Camden, and Miami. The position will report to the Senior Marketing Manager.

This is an opportunity to develop your career by playing an important role in a growing organization. And we like to have fun, too!
