Founder in Residence, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000/year USD

Ready to revolutionize education? We've created something extraordinary in Austin—a school where students master academics in just two hours daily, then dive into eSports strategy, Minecraft civics, and real-world quests that traditional education can't touch. The results? Off the charts. The demand? Through the roof.

We're seeking a visionary leader to decode our flagship's success, engineer it into a scalable system, and launch it across the nation. You'll capture the magic that makes our model work, transform it into a replicable blueprint, and create such compelling demand that new locations fill instantly while delivering the same exceptional outcomes.

This is for the proven entrepreneur who's already scaled a million-dollar venture and feels personally connected to our mission of reimagining education. If you're ready to build the learning environment families are desperate for, we want to hear from you.

What You Will Be Doing

• Reverse-engineer our flagship's success into a systematic playbook—from curriculum frameworks and staffing models to technology infrastructure and launch sequences—all validated by concrete performance metrics.
• Architect quality standards and cultural touchpoints that ensure consistency across locations while allowing each campus to develop its authentic character.
• Execute strategic market tests with measurable KPIs for enrollment, retention, and learning outcomes, then refine the model for nationwide implementation.
• Craft and deliver a compelling market narrative through demonstrations, community engagements, media appearances, and investor presentations that convert interest into commitments.
• Harness artificial intelligence to streamline marketing, assessment, and data analysis processes that accelerate growth without compromising the educational experience.
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Building isolated, one-off educational experiments—your focus is creating systems that scale.
• Managing day-to-day academic operations or making incremental curriculum adjustments.
• Perpetuating conventional educational structures or classroom environments.
• Advancing an educational philosophy you don't genuinely champion—authentic belief in our approach is non-negotiable.
• Pursuing limited regional success without ambitions for national expansion.
