Job Application for Competitive Math Coach at Success Academy Charter Schools

New

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.

As a Network Competitive Math Coach, you will play a pivotal role in strengthening our competitive math pipeline by preparing scholars to excel in prestigous regional and national competitions, such as MOEMS, AMC, NYML, AIME, USAMO, and HMMT.

The ideal candidate possesses deep mathematical expertise and a strong understanding of the competitive math landscape. They are fluent in advanced problem-solving techniques across algebra, number theory, combinatorics, geometry, and proof-writing. Preferably, they also have personal experience competing in high-level math contests and can translate that experience into structured, inspiring instruction for scholars.

This role requires someone who thrives in both structured school environments and high-level one-on-one coaching settings. You will cultivate a high-expectations, high-joy culture where scholars develop resilience, mathematical maturity, and confidence in tackling complex problems.

This hybrid role blends in-person, school-day instruction with evening remote coaching. From 11:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., you will work onsite at assigned schools, supporting competitive math programming, identifying high-potential scholars, and collaborating with school-based leaders. From 4:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m., you will provide virtual private lessons, small-group coaching, and targeted competition preparation via Zoom.

Skills:

Disciplined, structured, and logical thinker.

Ability to manage and motivate high-performing scholars in rigorous academic settings.
Exceptional communication skills to engage scholars, families, and school leaders.
Organized with high levels of attention to detail.

Key Responsibilities:

School-Based (In-Person):
○ Identify and develop high-potential scholars through push-in support, small-group instruction, and collaboration with math teachers.
○ Support school-based math teams and competition clubs.
○ Administer diagnostics and analyze scholar performance data to determine readiness and training pathways.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
