OVERVIEW

THE OPPORTUNITY
The Breakthrough Results (BTR) Approach helps district partners to achieve and sustain new levels of performance in their schools by focusing on an iterative cycle of change allowing districts to see results in short windows of time (e.g., 8-10 weeks). BTR empowers teachers, school leaders and district staff to create measurable performance goals tied to key organizational challenges like attendance, instruction, operations, etc. This rapid cycle of learning through doing coupled with the autonomy and empowerment provided by the sponsoring district-level senior leadership team allows the Breakthrough teams to cut through red tape to see results -fast.
The Breakthrough Results Specialist position offers an opportunity to play a critical role fulfilling our firm's mission to improve public education. Specialists will have a wide, evolving range of responsibilities, with opportunities to liaise with a number of internal teams. This role will be focused on supporting the execution of key activities related to operations and data collection & analysis. You will work directly with the DMBreakthrough Results team to execute the work that is critical to our clients' success. The ideal candidate will be comfortable juggling multiple responsibilities and adapting to changing priorities.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
? Support DMBreakthrough Results team members with communications, data analysis and entry, and other activities that are critical to the success of our district partners, our students and our teams.
? Provide guidance and support through the DMBreakthrough Results Helpdesk, assisting our large and growing coach and client community with their most urgent questions and needs.
? Proactively support the ongoing projects and initiatives of the Senior Director, while representing DMGroup consistently, accurately, and positively.
? Work both independently and collaboratively to reach team goals and achieve results.
? Represent DMGroup via written and spoken correspondence.
? Maintain our growing database of coaches and clients.
? Coordinate meetings, maintain calendars/schedules, and manage other logistics.
? Assist with additional tasks as needed to support the Breakthrough Results team.
WHO YOU ARE
? You are humble and goal oriented. No job is too big or too small, whether editing folder permissions on Google Drive or helping the Senior Director get prepared for an important meeting, you do it all with grace and a smile on your face. You deeply understand that everything you do impacts DMGroup's ability to do well and to do good by our clients.
? You are an independent self-starter and a dedicated team member. You are comfortable working independently, and understand your role and priorities in the context of the organization's quarterly goals and overall mission. You can work on any project, with any team. You are driven to ensure your team succeeds and happy to play that part no matter how big or small.
? You are detail oriented. Tracking details and keeping things moving forward are high priorities for you. You are a problem solver who connects the dots between what is promised and what needs to be delivered and who helps people get things done on time and on budget.
? You are comfortable with ambiguity, including being flexible and adaptable. You are excited by a role where no two days are exactly the same. You are comfortable creating structure where there is none, and you are adaptable when priorities change and shift your work.
? You have a passion for service. You have an infectious sense of possibility for what is possible in Public Education. You gain genuine pleasure from providing a level of service far beyond what is required, and who care deeply about improving our nation's schools on behalf of students and families.
? You are a strong, intentional relationship builder and collaborative teammate. You thrive on bringing different stakeholders together around a common goal. You seek to understand different contributors' motivations and enjoy finding creative ways of meeting multiple objectives. You shape relationships with an ethos of reciprocity.
