The ideal candidate is a deeply knowledgeable mathematician with a strong understanding of the competitive math landscape. You are fluent in the problem-solving techniques, proof strategies, and advanced content areas required for high-level contests (including algebra, combinatorics, geometry, and number theory). You preferably have firsthand experience succeeding in these events and can translate that experience into structured preparation and inspiration for scholars. This role requires someone who can cultivate a high-expectations, high-joy environment where scholars embrace challenge, persist through complex problems, and develop mathematical maturity.

Deep content mastery across algebra, number theory, combinatorics, geometry, and proof-writing. Strong familiarity with the structure, scoring, and preparation pathways for national math competitions. Ability to be explicit about decision-making when solving complex, multi-step competition problems. Ability to design curriculum, problem sets, mock contests, and targeted skill drills.

Key Responsibilities: Design and implement a vertically aligned competitive math curriculum across grades 6–9. Lead network-wide preparation for major competitions, including after-school programs, weekend intensives, and vacation boot camps. Coach scholars to qualify for and excel in State Mathcounts, AIME, USAMO, and national-level tournaments. Administer and analyze diagnostic assessments to identify high-potential scholars and track competitive benchmarks. Partner with school leaders and math teachers to integrate competition-style problem solving into core math instruction. Train and develop school-based competitive math coaches to ensure program sustainability and growth. Foster scholar resilience, intellectual curiosity, and a culture that celebrates mathematical rigor and achievement. Develop differentiated training pathways for scholars at varying readiness levels, from foundational competition exposure to elite-level proof writing. Ensure student safety and well-being during all programming. Additional Expectations: Ability to travel between school sites across the Success Academy network.
