Follow your passion
Are you looking to make a BIG impact? At Zeta, we pursue an unprecedented combination of high academic achievement and social-emotional development for our students. We insist that every student receives a world-class education while fostering a love for learning. We are passionate about changing the landscape of public education in New York City and beyond, and we are uncompromising in our mission.
Currently, we operate multiple elementary and middle schools in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan, and we are opening three new elementary schools in Queens for the 2025-26 school year. We plan to grow and open 1-2 schools each year because children in every community deserve excellent, equitable education. Join our growing team today, and be a change agent for children.
Our Network office is located at 401 W 218th St., New York, NY 10034. Our Network team follows a hybrid work schedule: we work in-person from our office on Tuesdays and Thursdays with optional remote days on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, if your team’s scope of work permits. Increased flexibility will be required for this role, as in-person community outreach is a key component of the Family Outreach & Enrollment team.
Deliver powerful results
To achieve our vision, we are searching for a Family Outreach Associate with a Bachelor’s Degree and experience in sales or customer service(preferably working with families in an educational or social services setting) with a proven record of building and maintaining strong relationships with customers or external audiences.
