Talent Strategy Coordinator

KIPP Texas Public Schools • Houston, TX

4d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Talent Strategy Project Coordinator provides project and team support across KIPP Texas Public Schools’ Talent Strategy team, including Workforce Strategy and Rewards, Performance Management, and Talent Health Systems & Insights. Reporting to the Managing Director of Talent Strategy, the Coordinator supplies flexible capacity for special projects, talent cycles, and priorities that need additional coordination or do not have assigned ownership. The role works across multiple priorities and stakeholders and requires strong organization, attention to detail, communication, and follow-through. The Coordinator adapts as team needs shift, identifying when work can proceed independently and when further direction or decision-making is needed.

The position coordinates special projects, supports team operations and recurring processes, maintains assigned data trackers, and coordinates Talent Strategy communications. The Coordinator also contributes to Talent Division culture and collaboration, supports team culture initiatives, builds stakeholder relationships, and participates in development experiences. Other duties may be assigned as network needs change.

This is a hybrid role, reporting to a central office or school three days a week, with the remaining work described as remote. The work takes place in a typical school or office environment with frequent interruptions. Minimal travel may be required to other school sites or regional offices; reliable transportation is needed for travel between campuses. The role may involve attending meetings, conferences, and training sessions virtually and in person within the region.
