• Support school operations: Configure and troubleshoot enrollment, registration, attendance, scheduling, grading, gradebooks, transcripts, assessments, special programs, and parent/student access.

• Manage annual processing: Coordinate year-end rollover, school-year startup, student promotion, scheduling preparation, and related validation activities to maintain continuity of school operations.

• Maintain data quality and reporting: Develop and maintain reports, extracts, imports, and exports; identify duplicate, incomplete, or inconsistent records; investigate root causes; and coordinate approved corrections and reporting validation.

• Support integrations: Work with data engineers and vendors on Aspen-to-Ed-Fi field mapping, reference-code and descriptor alignment, export configuration, interface troubleshooting, and source-data validation.

• Support modernization and migration: Document current business processes and requirements, evaluate proposed configurations, validate converted records, develop realistic test scenarios, and assist with implementation readiness and post-transition support.

• Resolve issues and manage changes: Investigate escalated application and data issues, coordinate vendor support, test updates and fixes, document results, and support controlled deployment of approved changes.

• Document and share knowledge: Maintain operating procedures, configuration records, troubleshooting guides, and user guidance; provide practical assistance and knowledge transfer to government and district personnel.

Required Qualifications

• Must be able to obtain a Secret security clearance.

• Five (5+) years of hands-on experience administering or supporting a K–12 student information system, including districtwide or enterprise-level configuration and operational support.

• Experience with Follett Aspen or a comparable K–12 SIS, including user permissions, application configuration, reporting, imports/exports, and school-year processing.

• Strong understanding of student information workflows, including enrollment, attendance, scheduling, grading, transcripts, and student transfers.

• Experience investigating student data issues, validating reports and extracts, and coordinating corrective actions with technical and functional stakeholders.

• Familiarity with the Ed-Fi Data Standard and education data exchange concepts, including field mapping, reference codes, and data validation.

• Ability to translate operational needs into documented requirements, configuration changes, test cases, and clear user instructions.

• Strong troubleshooting, organization, and communication skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities and work independently.

• Ability to satisfy the government's background investigation and system-access requirements.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience administering Follett Aspen across multiple schools or districts.

• Experience supporting a K–12 SIS implementation or migration, including conversion validation, user acceptance testing, cutover preparation, or go-live support.

• Experience with special education data and workflows, including eligibility, individualized education programs, service records, reporting, and restricted access.

• Working knowledge of SQL, advanced Excel, or comparable tools for data analysis and reconciliation.
