What You Will Be Doing

  • Designing academic frameworks that convert learning science principles into actionable guidance for curriculum development, motivational structures, and application interfaces.
  • Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to confirm alignment, enforce accountability, and verify delivery of outcomes across school teams.

  • Experience driving learning outcomes for students and upholding student performance standards
  • Experience applying AI or emerging technologies to improve education, such as through personalized learning, adaptive learning, AI agents, etc.
  • Experience managing academic teams of 50+ people (e.g., the teams you managed directly executed curriculum, instruction, or assessment)
  • Experience interacting directly with students, teachers, or school leaders in a professional setting
