You already built something from zero and took it to scale. Now you're looking for your next big betone that has both urgency and moral clarity. If you believe the U.S. education system is criminally under-serving gifted kids, and you're ready to do something about it, keep reading.

gt.school is redefining what school should look like for high-potential students. Our 2 Hour Learning model compresses the academic day into focused, mastery-based sessionsfreeing up time for students to pursue real challenges. Now, we're ready to build out a physical model campus that adds the missing pieces: leadership experiences, peer competition, performance-driven culture, and the kind of community these students have been missing.

You'll lead the design, validation, and public rollout of this model campuswith the goal of making it the prototype for a nationwide network. That means testing real-world programming, developing parent demand, building a culture that sticks, and crafting the playbooks to scale it all. You won't be improving an existing schoolyou'll be defining what excellent looks like, then operationalizing it at scale.

We need someone with founder-level energy and credibility. Someone who understands that the best ideas mean nothing without relentless execution. Someone who can turn a sharp point of view into a school parents can't stop talking aboutand students can't wait to attend.

What You Will Be Doing

• Designing and testing scalable programs that extend beyond academicsfocusing on leadership, independence, and competition
• Building and validating a physical model campus, including staffing models, space design, and operations
• Developing parent-facing messaging, market strategies, and growth playbooks to fuel expansion
• Defining, documenting, and scaling quality standards and cultural rituals across all future sites
• Acting as the public face of the modeldriving visibility through media, events, and partnerships

What You Wont Be Doing

• Running a traditional school with classrooms, teachers, and a full-day schedule
• Catering to families who want gifted-lite programs with AP classes and minimal challenge
• Managing incremental change within existing institutionswe're not fixing schools, we're replacing them
• Chasing superficial engagement metricswe care about hard outcomes and deep learning, not just activity
• Building everything remotelyyou'll have flexibility, but will spend ~1 week/month in Austin to ground your work in reality
