Thanks for your interest in Success Academy! Running a large, fast-growing, and high-performing network of public charter schools takes a village - families, children, teachers, staff and faculty, advocates, and supporters alike. We are growing fast in New York and expanding to Florida, and we would love to welcome you to our community! We work tirelessly every day to ensure children have access to a fun, rigorous, whole-child education regardless of zip code or economic status. When you join SA, you play a part in giving every student who walks through our doors a fair shot at reaching his or her potential.

The Bronx K-12 Technical Theatre Supervisor is a school-based role that additionally oversees and provides supplemental guidance for all K-12 Bronx Campus technical theatre objectives related to the auditorium. This role reports to Success Academy’s Theater Program Manager. This role will be salary-based and required to attend rehearsals that take place after school-based hours and occasionally other duties during the day affiliated with the assembly/maintenance of productions. This role is managed by the Theatre Program Manager.

Roles and Responsibilities

We are seeking a results-driven Technical Theatre Supervisor to serve as the resident technical expert and facility manager for our Bronx K-12 campus. This is not just a "behind-the-scenes" role; it is a leadership position that ensures our scholars perform in professional-grade environments. You will be responsible for the end-to-end technical execution of theatrical productions, high-stakes keynote events, and daily school-wide assemblies.

1. Technical Design & Production Execution

  • Lighting Design: Conceptualize, hang, circuit, and program lighting plots for all campus productions. Must be proficient in the ETC (Electronic Theatre Controls) ecosystem, including EOS-family consoles.
  • Sound Engineering: Manage live sound reinforcement and playback. This includes mic’ing performers, mixing live musical theatre/performances on Yamaha digital consoles, and maintaining signal chain integrity.
  • Multimedia & Projection: Oversee the integration of digital media, projection mapping, and QLab (or similar) workflows for performances and presentations.
  • Rigging & Safety: Maintain and operate theatrical rigging systems, ensuring all overhead equipment is secured and meets industry safety standards.

2. Asset Management & Operations

  • Preventative Maintenance: Establish a rigorous schedule for diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining all AV and stage equipment (lighting fixtures, wireless mics, cables, and scenic tools).
  • Inventory Control: Maintain a meticulously organized digital inventory of all technical assets. Oversee the procurement of expendables (gels, tape, batteries) and advise on long-term capital equipment upgrades.
  • Space Stewardship: Act as the "warden" of the auditorium; ensure the space is strike-ready after events and that all school-wide staff follow proper safety and equipment protocols.

3. Leadership & Collaboration

  • Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate with the School Operations Team to schedule space usage and ensure the technical needs of non-theatre events (Keynote speakers, graduations) are met.
  • Educational Support: Provide supplemental guidance and "on-the-job" training to theater teachers or scholars interested in the technical arts.
  • Rehearsal & Event Supervision: Manage the technical requirements of after-school rehearsals and performances, ensuring a professional atmosphere for scholars and staff.

Candidate Requirements

Technical Expertise

  • Professional Pedigree: Significant professional credit in technical theatre or a degree from a rigorous technical theatre program.
  • Console Mastery: Proven experience programming on ETC lighting boards and mixing on Yamaha digital sound boards is required.
  • Versatility: Ability to pivot from the "fine-tuning" of a lighting cue to the manual labor of assembly and maintenance.

Mindset & Leadership

  • The ETHOS Standard: You embody Excellence, Teamwork, Humor, Ownership, and Scholar-first decision-making.
  • High Agency: You don’t wait for things to break; you anticipate needs and "own" the results of the space.
  • Communication: You have the confidence to lead a room and the presence to represent the Arts program to school leadership.

Physical & Logistical Requirements

  • Valid Driver’s License: Required for potential travel between sites or picking up supplies.
  • Physicality: Ability to lift up to 40 lbs, climb ladders, and work in elevated spaces (grids/catwalks).
  • Flexibility: Availability for evening and occasional weekend hours to support the production calendar.

Exact compensation may vary based on skills and experience.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
