Strategy
Staff members focused on strategy play crucial roles across all teams within Teach For America. Broadly speaking, they develop recommendations for a variety of organizational challenges. For example, within our corps member recruitment efforts, strategists help figure out which untapped markets we should pursue, and how we should pursue those markets. Other examples of strategy projects are when strategists on our human assets team tackle human capital issues like retention and staff satisfaction.
Strategy team members are exceptional problem solvers. Their critical thinking skills and ability to synthesize data to make decisions are exemplary. They thrive on being solutions-oriented, and genuinely enjoy the process of engaging in a variety of complex business challenges and generating results.
