KIPP

Role Description The Chief, Regional Impact is a new and critical role at the KIPP Foundation — one that sits at the heart of how we deliver excellence for students across every KIPP region, every day. This is a rare opportunity to shape the trajectory of an entire network of schools by ensuring the leaders closest to students and communities are operating at the highest level. The Chief of Regional Impact reports to the Chief Schools Officer and is responsible for executing the One KIPP strategy across the network. The role has three mission-critical functions: - Managing Regional Superintendents, who lead coordinated teams that deliver educational services to KIPP regions. - Partnering with Regional Superintendents to support and hold regional Executive Directors accountable for delivering best-in-class academic and postsecondary outcomes. - Overseeing the national ED pipeline program to ensure a ready bench of leaders prepared to step into regional ED roles as openings arise. At its core, this is an outcomes-accountable leadership role. The Chief of Regional Impact co-owns the academic and postsecondary performance of KIPP's regions and is responsible for delivering measurable results across the network. The CRI manages a team of four Regional Superintendents and drives results through them — setting a high bar, holding the line on performance, and ensuring the systems, supports, and consequences are in place for every region to deliver. The CRI also coaches and develops Regional Superintendents into stronger and more effective leaders. This person must be a clear thinker, a decisive operator, and a credible presence with senior internal and external stakeholders, including regional boards. The Chief of Regional Impact reports directly to the Chief Schools Officer and works in close, ongoing partnership with the CSO to deeply understand and operationalize the vision of regional excellence across the network. This is a high-trust relationship — the Chief of Regional Impact must be able to take that vision and translate it faithfully into systems, expectations, and leadership development without needing to be managed at every step. Success in this role means the CSO's vision is alive and well in every region, every day.
