About Cristo Rey Jesuit High School

At Cristo Rey Jesuit High School (CRJ), we provide a career-focused, college preparatory education rooted in the Catholic tradition, welcoming students from economically limited backgrounds. Our approach integrates rigorous academics, a four-year work experience program, and comprehensive college support. Through collaboration with educators, businesses, and communities, we empower students of diverse faiths to achieve lifelong success. CRJ students consistently surpass their peers in postsecondary success.

Who We Are:

• Mission-Driven: We provide opportunities for everyone to develop in the faith traditions in which root one’s soul, and we encourage the integration of Jesuit spirituality and Catholic ideals into our service for the benefit of our young scholars.
• Growth and Recognition: CRJ has a partnership with Loyola University Maryland providing a 100% tuition discount for employees enrolled in a graduate program pursuing an advanced degree.
• Corporate Work Study Program: Our Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP) offers students a unique, student-centered, real-world professional opportunity that plays a crucial role in their overall formation. CWSP serves as a bridge, helping to demystify the professional world for our students.

The Relationship Manager (RM) plays a critical role in the CWSP. The RM is responsible for establishing and maintaining strategic partnerships with corporate partners to facilitate work-study opportunities for students while also providing support and coaching to the students within their portfolio. The RM supports and implements the daily program administration and operations which often include student transportation and daily logistics, data collection and reporting, resource development, interdepartmental collaboration, and special projects.

This role also maintains and deepens the relationships with the Corporate and Nonprofit Partners that hire our students and function as the point person for communication with supervisors and students in their portfolio. In collaboration with the CWSP team, the RM will also develop new opportunities to strengthen relationships with students, families, faculty/staff, supervisors, and other CWSP partners and programs.
