OverviewThe District Efficiency & Automation Manager is a senior technical role responsible for architecting, building, and maintaining a centralized enterprise data platform that enables data-driven operational efficiency across South Bend Community School Corporation (SBCSC) to identify significant operational efficiency and savings opportunities. The role is designed to modernize the operational infrastructure of SBCSC.
With an annual operating budget of approximately $300 million and more than 20 schools under its jurisdiction, the District generates significant operational, financial, and facilities data across multiple independent systems. Currently, this information exists in fragmented systems and manual workflows, limiting the District’s ability to systematically identify inefficiencies, cost‑saving opportunities, fraud indicators, and process bottlenecks.
The primary responsibility of this position is to design and implement a secure, scalable, and modern data platform that integrates data from financial systems, human resources systems, student information systems, vendor platforms, facilities and utility systems, and structured manual processes. Once integrated, the platform will enable advanced analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning solutions to identify operational inefficiencies, optimize resource allocation, and support long‑term fiscal stewardship.
The Manager will apply advanced knowledge of computer science, software engineering principles, data architecture, distributed systems, automation systems & technology and operational efficiency initiatives to develop scalable solutions that modernize the District’s operational infrastructure.
This individual will lead a district-wide initiative to audit, document, and re-engineer administrative processes across schools and all central departments. By bridging the gap between traditional school administration and advanced data science, the Manager will identify systemic inefficiencies and implement scalable solutions through process improvement, AI integration, and in‑house software development. Additionally, this role oversees district-wide energy management to optimize utility expenditures across all facilities.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities- Conduct an exhaustive, district-wide audit of all administrative and operational workflows (Finance, HR, Operations, Instructional Support, and School-based administrative tasks).
- Map and document "as-is" processes where no formal written procedures exist, creating a centralized repository of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
- Analyze workflows to identify bottlenecks, redundancies, and process waste to improve overall operational velocity.
- Evaluate administrative staffing structures to find opportunities for consolidation or role realignment through improved efficiency.
- Architect, design, and implement a district-wide enterprise data platform to centralize operational, financial, and facilities data.
- Design and develop data ingestion pipelines (ETL/ELT processes) to integrate structured and semi‑structured data from disparate internal and external systems.
- Develop microservices‑based architecture and secure APIs (e.g., REST, JSON RPC) to support scalable system integration.
- Design relational and No
SQL database schemas to support transactional, analytical, and time‑series data workloads. - Build and maintain distributed services using containerized application deployment technologies.
- Implement version control, testing frameworks, and secure software development lifecycle practices.
- Generate architecture documentation, system diagrams, and technical specifications to ensure maintainability and scalability.
- Maintain and enhance the platform through continuous improvement, performance optimization, and technical…
