Rochester, NY | Full-time, exempt | $93,500–$117,500 annually

A teacher opening a lesson, a student checking a class schedule, and a program team preparing to meet with families all count on technology that works when they need it. As our IT Manager, youll lead the team that makes that possible across Education Success Network, The Norman Howard School, and EnCompass: Resources for Learning.

Reporting to the CEO, youll help decide where we invest in technology and stay hands-on with the systems our staff use every day. One day you might discuss a network upgrade with leadership. The next, you might coach a team member through a tough issue or help school staff prepare for the first day of classes.

What youll do

- Work with school and program leaders to set technology priorities, develop the long-term plan, manage the IT budget, and oversee vendors and licensing.

- Supervise and develop IT staff. Keep networks, Wi-Fi, devices, servers, and audiovisual equipment reliable across multiple locations.

- Administer Microsoft 365, including Entra ID, Exchange, Intune, Teams, SharePoint, Defender, and Purview.

- Guide cybersecurity practices using the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, support New York Education Law 2-d requirements, and test recovery plans.

- Help school staff use Blackbaud for schedules, reports, grade submissions, and school-year setup.

What youll bring

- At least five years of progressively responsible IT experience across networks, servers, cloud services, endpoints, and cybersecurity, plus at least two years of supervisory experience.

- Working knowledge of Windows, ChromeOS, and iOS, experience managing projects and budgets, and the ability to explain technical issues clearly.

- A related bachelors degree is preferred. We consider equivalent combinations of education, technical training, certifications, and experience. K–12, nonprofit, or multi-site experience is a plus.

This role requires reliable transportation for local travel, 24/7 on-call availability for critical incidents, and occasional evening or weekend work.
