About The Position

Seton Education Partners seeks a mission-driven, highly organized, and results-oriented individual to serve as an Operations Coordinator for the Seton Teaching Fellows program. The Seton Teaching Fellows’ Operations Coordinator plays a critical role in advancing the mission of Seton Teaching Fellows by translating vision into action across high-priority, cross-functional initiatives. This role will ensure smooth day-to-day operations across all teams and functions related to Seton Teaching Fellows. Working closely with all team members and partner schools and programs, this role leads projects that strengthen our formation, operations, and growth as a national apostolate. The ideal candidate is highly organized, relationally attuned, and energized by bringing clarity, momentum, and excellence to the mission of Seton Education Partners and the Fellows called to teach within it. Seton Teaching Fellows accompanies, develops, and challenges young Catholics to serve students, families, and each other by imitating the love of Christ the Teacher in underserved communities and beyond. Seton Teaching Fellows is a one or two-year postgraduate mission opportunity that brings the living Gospel and the beauty of the Catholic faith to children and families in underserved communities. Fellows rely on both time-tested and innovative methods that help the children and families they serve, as well as their peers, to better know, love, and serve Christ and His Church. At the same time, they participate in their own spiritual formation by developing the habits, dispositions, and beliefs indispensable to human flourishing and happiness. Seton Education Partners believes that education is rooted in the inherent dignity of every child and flourishes when formation of mind, body, and soul is held together in an integrated whole. Our work is deeply relational, mission-driven, and grounded in a culture of excellence, accountability, and service. As the Operations Coordinator for the Seton Teaching Fellows program, you are entrusted with stewarding and advancing high-impact initiatives that strengthen our national apostolate. You will partner closely with team members across the organization to bring structure, clarity, and follow-through to all projects—ensuring that our alumni, Fellows, and partners are supported with intentionality, care, and operational excellence in service of the communities we are called to serve.
