Site Manager

This position is expected to begin on August 10, 2026

The Site Manager is a key leader on BOLT’s program team, responsible for driving strong program implementation across 2–4 partner school sites during the academic year. You serve as a coach, relationship manager, and capacity builder —equipping teachers, interns, and youth leaders to deliver high-quality, consistent programming.

During the summer, the Site Manager transitions into a lead facilitator, directly leading a cohort of youth and ensuring a high-quality, engaging summer experience.

You will own site-level success year-round: building strong school partnerships, supporting educators to implement BOLT’s curriculum, and ensuring students experience meaningful, impactful programming. You will also manage 1–3 interns and contribute to a culture of strong execution and continuous improvement across sites.

The majority of your time will be spent managing site relationships, being on the ground in schools, and ensuring strong program execution.
