Are you a people person who loves connecting with the community and helping families find incredible opportunities for their children? If so, this role is tailor‑made for you!

As a Rocketship Family Recruiter, your mission will be to share the exciting opportunities available for elementary‑aged students at Rocketship Public Schools in Wisconsin, serving the Northside and Southside of the city. You’ll be the enthusiastic voice and face of Rocketship, inspiring families with the possibilities our schools offer.

This role is perfect for an outgoing, charismatic extrovert who thrives on meaningful conversations and isn’t afraid to spark excitement. You’ll engage with prospective families, support them through the enrollment process, and ensure a seamless handoff to our Office Manager team—setting students up for success on their very first day.

Bonus points if you’re multilingual (Spanish), as it’s a fantastic asset in our diverse and vibrant communities—but it’s not a requirement.

If you’re passionate about bridging the achievement gap and love making a difference in the lives of families, join us as we build strong school communities and robust waitlists for the future of Rocketship Public Schools.
