You'll translate our scientific foundations into operational discipline and make the case for this model to the world.What You Will Be DoingCreating academic frameworks that translate learning science into practical guidance for curriculum, motivation systems, and app design.

Leading academic execution reviews across Heads of Academics to ensure school teams are aligned, accountable, and delivering results.
