Network Technical Theater Supervisor

New York

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 Network Technical Theatre Supervisor is a high-impact, school-based role responsible for the creative vision, technical execution, and instructional quality of technical theatre across all Success Academy campuses. This role serves as the primary architect for set design and production quality, ensuring a professional and cohesive aesthetic across the network. Reporting to the Theater Program Manager, this individual will balance high-level network strategy with hands-on instruction and event production. This is a salary-based role that requires flexibility for evening rehearsals, weekend festivals, and travel between campuses and storage facilities.

Roles and Responsibilities

We are seeking a visionary and logistically-minded individual to standardize and elevate the "Success Academy Stage." You will be the primary designer for our flagship High School productions while simultaneously building the infrastructure that allows our Elementary and Middle School programs to thrive autonomously.

1. Production Design & Network Strategy

  • High School Creative Lead: Oversee all technical designs and elements for the six HSLA (High School of the Liberal Arts) productions, with a specialized focus on professional-grade set design and construction.
  • Strategic Oversight: Streamline production quality across the network. Ensure Elementary School (ES) productions are "autonomous and clean" while providing Middle School (MS) programs with design input and curated resources.
  • Network Events: Serve as the technical director and lead designer for flagship events, including the Festival of the Performing Arts (March 17th-19th, 2025) and the Write it! Perform it! Theatre Festival (April 17th, 2025).
  • Budgetary Management: Execute technical theatre initiatives within set budgets, managing the procurement of goods and services for productions across the entire network.

2. Instructional Leadership & Scholar Development

  • Classroom Instruction: Directly teach Stagecraft courses at the Bronx K-12 campus, modeling high-quality technical instruction.
  • Curriculum Refinement: Consistently refine and update technical theatre lessons to be utilized across the network.
  • Club Ownership: Own and manage the Technical Theatre Clubs at all High School locations, fostering a pipeline of scholar technicians.
  • Professional Development: Design and lead technical theatre professional development sessions for teachers during specified content days.

3. Logistics & Asset Management

  • Storage & Distribution: Manage the SA Theatre storage unit; responsible for the organization, inventory, and delivery of goods to various campuses throughout the network.
  • Program Support: Identify and "nurture" campuses or programs currently lacking technical support to ensure equity in production quality.
  • Partnership Expansion: In collaboration with the Network Partnerships lead, establish relationships with local organizations to create internships and advanced opportunities for scholars.

Candidate Requirements

Technical Expertise

  • Design Portfolio: Significant experience in scenic design and technical direction, specifically for large-scale musical theatre or dramatic productions.
  • Instructional Background: Experience teaching technical theatre or stagecraft to K-12 scholars, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts for beginners.
  • Production Management: Proven ability to manage the logistics of multiple concurrent productions across different geographic locations.

Mindset & Leadership

  • The ETHOS Standard: You embody Excellence, Teamwork, Humor, Ownership, and Scholar-first decision-making.
  • Creative Visionary: You can look at an empty stage and see the potential for a professional-grade environment that inspires scholars.
  • Operational Excellence: You are as comfortable managing a spreadsheet and a storage unit as you are a lighting plot or a power tool.

Physical & Logistical Requirements

  • Valid Driver’s License: Required for frequent travel between network sites and the delivery of production materials via the SA storage vehicle.
  • Physicality: Ability to lift heavy scenic elements, climb ladders, and engage in the manual labor associated with set construction and strike.
  • Seasonal Flexibility: Ability to work extended hours during peak festival and production windows (specifically March and April).

Exact compensation may vary based on skills and experience.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
