Responsibilities

In the role of Development Manager, you will drive the systematic quality work for the entire Child and Education Administration. A key focus of the position is to stay updated on research within school development, and you will serve as a support for the operations in transforming theory into practice. You will work closely with the operations and support the principals in pedagogical leadership. The role of Development Manager also includes:

• Conducting situation analyses, investigations, follow-ups, and evaluations.
• Mentoring principals in development and quality issues.
• Driving, coordinating, and supporting various development processes together with different professions, with the aim of increasing goal fulfillment.
