Entrepreneur in Residence, gt.school (Remote) - $400,000/year USD - #261540

Are you a visionary entrepreneur who has taken a concept from inception to success? Do you have a passion for revolutionizing education for gifted children in the U.S.? If you're seeking your next transformative project, and you're driven by the urgency to make a meaningful impact, this is your calling.

At gt.school, we are pioneering an innovative educational model tailored for high-achieving students, compressing the academic day into intensive, mastery-driven sessions. This approach liberates time for students to engage in authentic challenges. We are now poised to launch a groundbreaking physical campus that integrates leadership opportunities, peer competition, a performance-oriented culture, and a supportive community—the elements these students have long needed.

Your mission will be to spearhead the creation, validation, and public introduction of this model campus, setting the stage for a nationwide expansion. This involves experimenting with real-world programs, cultivating demand among parents, establishing a lasting culture, and developing scalable playbooks. Rather than enhancing an existing school, you'll be defining excellence and implementing it on a grand scale.

We seek someone with the passion and credibility of a founder, someone who realizes that ideas require relentless execution to succeed. If you can transform a compelling vision into a school that captivates parents and excites students, we want you on board.

What You Will Be Doing

• Creating and piloting innovative programs that transcend traditional academics, emphasizing leadership, autonomy, and competition
• Constructing and validating a model campus, including staffing, space planning, and operational frameworks
• Crafting parent-focused communication strategies, market approaches, and growth blueprints to support expansion
• Establishing and disseminating quality benchmarks and cultural practices across all future campuses
• Representing the model publicly by enhancing visibility through media, events, and collaborations
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Managing a conventional school setting with traditional classrooms and schedules
• Offering watered-down gifted programs with minimal challenges
• Implementing minor changes within existing educational frameworks—we aim to revolutionize, not repair
• Pursuing superficial engagement metrics—we prioritize substantial outcomes and profound learning experiences
• Working entirely remotely—you'll enjoy flexibility but will need to spend about a week each month in Austin to stay grounded
