Seven Hills seeks a skilled and collaborative Schoolwide Data Systems Manager to join our professional community. Just as our faculty supports cross-curricular integration, this role serves as the architect of the school’s information ecosystem, ensuring a seamless flow of data across all departments. By managing the technical infrastructure that powers the school, from the first point of inquiry through graduation, this individual provides the vital framework for our operational success.
The Data Systems & Enrollment Manager is responsible for the integrity and optimization of the Blackbaud suite (including K-12 LMS, Financial Edge, Raiser’s Edge, and Tuition Management), ensuring that the Admissions office is data-informed, the Business Office is audit-ready, and the Academic team is prepared to support every student.
This position is designed as the essential “bridge” between the administrative and academic programs. Beyond core database management, the Manager oversees a diverse range of auxiliary systems, including after-school registration, Health records, the Vidigami photo database, ERB rostering and ERB data processing, and visitor management systems. As a key member of the administrative team, the School-wide Data Systems Manager works collaboratively with colleagues to design and implement efficient workflows that support student growth and enhance the family experience at every stage of their journey.

Founded in 1962, Seven Hills is a learning community whose mission is to develop the intellect, engage the spirit, and foster respect for, and responsibility to our world. Our beautiful campus, located on 9 acres of former ranch land near Heather Farm Park in Walnut Creek, CA (approximately 35 miles from downtown San Francisco), is home to our outstanding preschool-8th grade program and offers over 420 students the daily opportunity to move freely from engaging classrooms to great expanses of natural outdoor space. We believe every student deserves a whole child education that harmonizes their academic growth and social and emotional development.
At Seven Hills, learning is joyful: from the preschool sandbox to the 8th-grade position paper, learning is fueled by curiosity, exploration, and the love and encouragement of trusted adults. Our small class sizes allow for greater differentiation, building strong partnerships with parents, and employing passionate teachers who love what they do and bring creativity to their daily practice of challenging, nurturing, and inspiring each child.
Nestled atop rolling hills peppered with oak trees, the campus offers a stunning, clear view ...of Mount Diablo and its adjacent hills. Walnut Creek, a city of over 70,000 people, gives the school access to the vibrant urban life of San Francisco and Oakland as well as beautiful parks and trails of suburban California (in fact, Walnut Creek owns more open space per capita than any other community in the state of California). Sitting at the junction of the highways from Sacramento and San Jose (I-680) and San Francisco/Oakland (SR-24), Walnut Creek serves as a hub for its neighboring cities—Clayton, Lafayette, Alamo, Pleasant Hill, and Concord—and allows Seven Hills to draw students and faculty from a wide geographic radius across over 30 zip codes.
