Job Description
GENERAL SUMMARY
As Relay GSE expands and matures, we continue to improve our program through targeted online learning and explore how to integrate the best innovations across education technology. We are re-imagining both online learning and teacher training, and Relay GSE believes that technology is a strategic lever to achieving our vision, serving a broader audience of teachers and thus having a greater impact on our public schools and our children.

THE ROLE
As the Chief Technology Officer you will envision and realize Relay GSE’s approach to technology. As a seasoned project manager with demonstrable technology experience, you will oversee the implementation of an online learning environment that will be used by thousands of teachers across the country to better prepare them to serve hundreds of thousands of children. You will be a key member of Relay GSE’s executive leadership team, scaling Relay GSE from a local, 60-person organization to a national organization of several hundred colleagues.

In collaboration with Relay GSE’s executive leadership team, you will evaluate the organization’s needs and aspirations for online learning in light of the educational technology landscape, thereby articulating a vision for Relay GSE’s technology architecture. You will then realize that vision through a judicious combination of best-in-breed technology vendors, custom software delivered both by in-house and outsourced application developers, and data integration. As the Chief Technology Officer, you will manage and coordinate product design, application development, technology infrastructure, and technology operations, ensuring congruence across all of Relay GSE’s technology activities.

OUR TEAM

o Extending Relay GSE’s web-based software to iPads and other tablets and mobile devices
o Exploring online learning innovations, piloting those with promise, and scaling those that will meaningfully improve Relay GSE’s program
o Synthesizing early generation software into a holistic, engaging user experience
o Solidifying “systems of truth” and providing engaging, accurate dashboards, visuals, and analytics to scale and more efficiently manage the organization

QUALIFICATIONS
• At least 7 – 10 years of relevant experience
• Demonstrated experience with envisioning and realizing web-based services that meet consumer needs and solve business problems
• A passion backed by knowledge of what it takes to create a compelling user experience
• An entrepreneurial spirit with the desire to individually own primary responsibility for technology and collectively realize the vision of future products
• Excellent communication skills to both technical and non-technical audiences
• Eagerness to coach and develop team members
• Fluency with at least one software development methodology
• Attention to detail as well as proven organizational skills
• A bachelor’s degree or higher in computer science or related field
