Organization Overview:

The Door was established in 1972 with the vision of creating an innovative youth development model to address the complex needs of young New Yorkers. Today, we serve up to eleven thousand youth annually across our four New York City locations, including our lower Manhattan and South Bronx youth centers and two supportive housing sites on the Lower East Side. The Door’s success lies in our commitment to meeting young people where they are and providing them with the comprehensive and integrated services they need to reach their potential. At The Door, youth can access health care and education, mental health counseling and crisis intervention, legal assistance, high school equivalency and college preparation services, career development, housing support, arts, sports and recreational activities, and nutritious meals—all for free and in a diverse, caring, and supportive environment.

Embedded within The Door, Broome Street Academy Charter High School (BSA) is a tuition-free public charter high school located in SoHo, educating students from all five boroughs, and devoted to providing students the necessary skills and support to graduate prepared for a successful future beyond high school. Our equitable, holistic, and student-centered approach provides students with access to a rigorous, standards-based curriculum that will equip graduates with the skills they need to make a positive impact on their communities and the broader world. We are an inclusive school community that values academic rigor, trauma informed practice, and student voice. Our Advanced Placement classes, Athletics program, and extracurricular offerings give our students the full high school experience in a small, one-of-a-kind environment. Our admissions policy gives preference to students who are homeless, in foster care, or from low performing schools, though all students, regardless of their background, circumstance, race, gender or ethnicity are welcome and encouraged to apply.

The Assistant Director will serve as the strategic leader for all data systems, student information management, and reporting at BSA. This role combines deep expertise in educational data management with technical systems administration to drive data-informed decision making across the organization. The Assistant Director will support leadership in designing and implementing database solutions, managing our student information systems infrastructure, and ensuring the integrity and security of all school data. This position will sit on The Door and BSA’s integrated Data Team, providing data leadership to BSA and helping drive data infrastructure within The Door’s systems. This position will report to the Managing Director of Data and Evaluation and serve as a thought leader on the use of technology for innovation, quality improvement, reporting, and organizational effectiveness.
