Program Manager (Part-Time, 20–25 Hours/Week) This is not a role where you manage a program. This is a role where you help build what the program becomes. Love to Code Academy is not a coding school. We are a youth character development academy that uses coding, robotics, and esports as environments where students build relationships, responsibility, purpose, and leadership. We grow kids, not just coders. This Program Manager role is not a traditional operations position. You are not here to manage schedules or oversee curriculum delivery. Your responsibility is to protect and scale a system that develops character through structured environments. This is a part-time leadership role, averaging 20–25 hours per week, primarily during after-school hours, evenings, and some weekends. This role requires strong leadership, high standards, and the ability to hold both instructors and students accountable. If you are looking for a relaxed or administrative role, this is not the right fit. If you are driven to lead people, build systems, and create meaningful impact in how students grow, this is a unique opportunity to do that. Responsibilities: As a Program Manager at Love to Code Academy , you are responsible for ensuring that every class consistently delivers on our core mission: developing character through structured, high-quality program experiences. You will lead instructors, maintain program standards, and ensure consistency across all classes, staff, and student experiences. This role requires both leadership of people and ownership of operations within a part-time structure. You are accountable for protecting the system, maintaining quality, and ensuring that both instructors and students meet expectations. Core Responsibilities (Program Quality & Leadership) • Lead, coach, and develop instructors as coaches of character, not just content delivery • Observe classes and provide direct, real-time feedback to ensure the coaching model is applied consistently • Ensure every session follows the structured format: Engage - Build - Challenge - Reflect • Maintain non-negotiables: student engagement, appropriate challenge, completed work, and immediate behavior correction • Hold instructors accountable to consistent standards and expectations • Oversee student development and ensure key traits such as teamwork, persistence, responsibility, and leadership are being reinforced • Review and approve belt promotions, ensuring character standards are visible and consistent Operational Responsibilities (Execution & Support Systems) • Manage class schedules, student enrollment, waitlists, and program capacity • Recruit, hire, and onboard instructors, ensuring completion of training before leading classes • Communicate with parents, provide updates, and proactively address concerns • Manage escalated student behavior situations and maintain a safe, structured environment • Plan and execute events such as belt ceremonies, capstones, camps, and workshops • Oversee facility readiness, equipment functionality, and supply management • Track and analyze key metrics, including enrollment, retention, belt advancement, and instructor performance • Identify operational or performance gaps and take immediate action to resolve them Qualifications: This role requires strong leadership, consistency, and the ability to hold high standards. Experience matters, but how you lead, communicate, and enforce expectations matters more. Required: • Experience leading teams (education, coaching, youth programs, or similar) • Strong leadership presence and ability to manage group environments • Comfortable giving direct feedback and addressing behavior in real time • Ability to hold consistent standards and expectations • Strong organizational and operational skills • Availability to consistently work evenings and weekends, aligned with after-school program hours Preferred: • Experience working with youth programs or classroom environments • Experience in training or developing instructors or staff • Background in coaching, education, or structured programs (sports, martial arts, camps, etc.) This role is NOT a fit if you: • Avoid difficult conversations or accountability • Prefer being liked over being respected • Focus only on the curriculum or activities instead of behavior and outcomes • Struggle to maintain consistent expectations Compensation: $32 - $36 per hour
