Red Bridge is hiring: Admissions & Communication Manager in San Francisco Bay Ar
Red Bridge, San Francisco Bay Area, United States
Company Description
Red Bridge is an independent K-8 school that opened in September 2020 in San Francisco. Red Bridge was
founded as a demonstration school for a new model of education designed to foster a sense of agency in
students as opposed to traditional schools that are designed to reinforce compliance. Student ownership is
built into every system and structure of the school, so that students gradually take on more responsibility for
their learning. This puts every student on the path to becoming a lifelong learner – so that no matter what the
future looks like, they can adapt and flourish.
Educators at Red Bridge are models of lifelong learning: collaborating to design meaningful learning
experiences for students, closely observing children’s development and needs, and creating and reflecting on
innovative routines and systems. Red Bridge currently serves 54 students in the equivalent of Kindergarten –
Sixth Grade. We will continue to grow and age up with our student body until we are a full K-8 school.
Role Description
The Admissions & Communications Director will be responsible for creating content and contributing to
strategy development for all external communications including those related to admissions, recruitment and
enrollment, fundraising and grant applications, the current Red Bridge community, and the school’s social
media. The Admissions & Communications Director will lead the admissions process at Red Bridge, including the recruitment of students for Red Bridge's Lower School and Middle School programs.
General responsibilities include assembling the weekly newsletter for each Autonomy Level (including taking and selecting photographs), leading tours and online information sessions for prospective parents, attending school fairs, designing and executing an email marketing campaign for student recruitment, and applying for relevant grants. The Admissions & Communications Director will be involved in creating strategic plans regarding social media, donor relations, and student recruitment. This is a full-time position reporting to the Head of School.
