Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Conduct intensive due diligence on charter school operators and prepare investment proposals for the board of directors. Manage portfolio data and lead sourcing efforts to identify potential investment candidates in specific regions.
Requires a bachelor's degree and at least two years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, venture capital, or a similar field. Candidates must possess strong analytical skills and a deep commitment to the organization's mission of expanding high-quality charter schools.
The Charter School Growth Fund (CSGF) is a leading nonprofit venture philanthropy fund dedicated to identifying the nation’s best public charter schools, investing in their expansion, and helping to increase their impact. Our “portfolio” includes 200+ charter school networks that operate 1,700+ schools and serve more than 725,000 students. We are committed to expanding the impact of schools that are closing achievement and opportunity gaps. CSGF operates with the same strategies, discipline, and focus as a venture capital firm by awarding multi-year grants and loans to talented education entrepreneurs building networks of high-quality charter schools that enroll traditionally underserved students. Ultimately, we think the portfolio can grow to serve ~1,000,000 students within a decade.
This is an exciting time to join the Charter School Growth Fund. We are successfully; half way through the 5th year of CSGF’s 4th fund, building on our 20 year track record of success. CSGF’s “Fund IV” is larger in size and scope than previous funds, with a goal to continue to fuel charter sector growth, accelerate innovation, and strengthen long-term outcomes for students, particularly students of color and those from low-income backgrounds. We continue to prioritize investments in leaders of color as our current portfolio is led by more than 50% leaders of color and more than 50% female leaders. We believe it is vital for the networks we support to be proximate to the lived experiences of the students and communities they serve.

The Scale Portfolio Team focuses on organizations who are looking to grow three or more new schools in the next 5-6 years.
