    Job Description

    Job Description

    United Charter High Schools, a newly formed education corporation serving over 3,000 students across campuses in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens, seeks an innovative and seasoned COO/CFO to build this new entity's financial and operational foundation.

    United Charter High Schools (UCHS) is the largest and most successful public charter high school network in NYC. UCHS operates with a steadfast commitment to academic excellence and a dedication to innovation, growth, and providing an enriching educational experience for its students. Originally founded as New Visions Charter High Schools by the non-profit New Visions for Public Schools, it was established to provide quality educational opportunities for students in underserved communities. Renamed UCHS as of July 2024, the network consists of 7 charter high schools that held a collective graduation rate of 96% in 2022 and 2023 while serving more than 3,000 students across the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. They are some of New York State's highest performing charter high schools, consistently meeting, and in many cases exceeding, NYSED's Performance Benchmarks for Student Performance - outperforming NYS on the 4-year Cohort Regents' exams and the 4-year graduation rate for all students and special populations. They also include the only NYC High School to receive the prestigious National Blue Ribbon Award in 2022.

    OPPORTUNITY

    The Chief Operating Officer/ Chief Financial Officer (COO/CFO) will join a team that is making a profound impact on the lives of students in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens.
