Job description

About Noon Academy:

We're the largest EdTech in MENA and currently at the pre-IPO stage. Our ambition is to be the largest school operator in the Middle East by next year. We've taught over 20 million students across five countries — and we're now reinventing the school itself. Through Noon Tracks, we run hybrid micro-schools inside partner and government schools, where a master teacher is streamed live across up to 20 classrooms at once, backed by an on-site supervisor and an AI co-pilot that personalises every lesson. We have 50+ campuses across Saudi and more to come. Our team is a mix of the best talent from MBB, big tech, and scaleups in KSA and Europe.

Following a Series B round in 2023, Noon has grown to be one of the largest education providers in Saudi Arabia. Today, we’re building the next generation of schools in Saudi Arabia. We believe every student deserves world-class teachers. And to make it happen, we’re reimagining everything about education: from cutting-edge tech to peer learning and physical spaces that spark curiosity.
