Sample Job Descriptions
In January, The Broad Residency will provide current job descriptions for every organization in which we place Residents.
In lieu of the current descriptions, we have found it helpful to provide summaries of job descriptions from previous years to impart a sense of the work Broad Residents perform in districts and charter management organizations (CMO). The summaries are based on actual descriptions, but do not contain names of organizations or supervisors. In addition, most industry-specific jargon has been removed and they have been simplified for ease of reading. Most of these descriptions describe the Resident’s incoming project/role, therefore it is important to recognize roles evolve substantially over the two year program. Please see “Two Year Overview” for further insight on how the work progresses.
Please note: These summaries are intended for informational purposes only, and are not definitive examples of the Broad Residency roles to be offered this year.

The following webinars were previously recorded and can be viewed by clicking on the titles. Both have Residents as panelists discussing their work, so they are helpful in learning about the actual work itself. These webinars are also helpful for people interested in learning more about the specific geographies listed or the partnerships we have with the Gates Foundation and Race to the Top.
