Monitoring compliance with state, federal, and network enrollment requirements
Owning Ascender proficiency to support application-to-enrollment conversion and training team members on the systems accordingly

You drive student retention through strategic family engagement and systems leadership:
Serve as a Level 2 escalation point, ensuring timely, empathetic, and solutions-oriented responses to complex family needs and concerns
Proactively identify trends and root causes impacting attendance and re-enrollment, and mobilize cross-functional support to remove barriers
Co-lead the design and execution of strategic family communication journeys that elevate Compass Rose’s mission and value proposition
Equip campus persistence teams with actionable data, tools, and high-impact practices that improve student and family engagement outcomes
Oversee the implementation, monitoring, and continuous improvement of 30/60/90-day family engagement plans across all campuses, ensuring consistency and impact
