We are looking for a Technology Planning & Implementation Lead to own the implementation of one of Success Academy’s most consequential technology initiatives: the full replacement of our academic technology stack with an integrated ecosystem of Canvas, Learnosity, and a new Content Management System serving 20,000+ scholars across our network.
This role reports to the Head of Educational Technologies and sits at the center of a complex, multi-year program. This person owns the implementation: the pilot, the release process, the coordination across workstreams, and the organizational work that determines whether the technology actually lands. They will partner closely with our Leader of Schooling Systems, who will own the technical design, architecture, and build, as well as our Schooling and Education Institute teams, who own the learning design and educational outcomes.
At its core, this role is an integration function. The program involves a set of forces that do not automatically align — what the business wants, what the technology can do, and what teachers and scholars need. This person’s job is to understand all of those forces deeply and hold them in tension productively. That requires genuine curiosity. This person needs to actively seek out the perspective of teachers, school leaders, and business stakeholders, not just at the start of the project, but continuously, and use what they learn to keep the program grounded in reality as it evolves. This person must be comfortable stepping into gaps, picking up what isn’t being owned, and doing whatever the program needs without waiting for clarity that may not come.
The right candidate has led complex implementations before, thrives in ambiguous environments, and measures themselves by outcomes rather than the tidiness of their scope.
