Director, AI Learning & Innovation

United states

At Leading Educators (LE), we know that excellent teaching is the most important driver of student success. The moment a student steps foot in the classroom, their opportunity to learn depends on how prepared their teacher is to translate complex content knowledge, standards, and their knowledge of that student into lessons that help them learn deeply and apply their thinking to the real world.

That’s a big lift, and it often happens alone. As a national nonprofit, we partner with school systems to overcome persistent instructional challenges, foster intentional collaboration and adult learning by design, and ignite new possibilities through systemic solutions at the intersection of teaching, talent, and technology.

We work shoulder-to-shoulder with educators at every level of the education system to strengthen their instructional and leadership practices, bring a vision for excellent instruction to life with consistency, and ensure every student reaches their full potential.

Through direct support, strategic advising, innovation pilots, and best‑in‑class research, we help educators work toward a future where every student is ready to thrive. Learn more about our work at .

You’ll contribute to the continued evolution of the Accelerators model by adapting learning experiences to meet partner needs, drawing on participant feedback and implementation insights to inform improvements, develop useful resources, and make thoughtful design and delivery decisions.

Because Accelerators regularly puts LE in front of senior leaders‑superintendents, nonprofit CEOs, and other senior decision‑makers‑this role carries external‑facing weight, requiring you to operate with the credibility and composure that comes from experience managing high‑stakes client relationships.

You’ll work shoulder‑to‑shoulder with participating teams, organizational leaders, and executive sponsors across education and social‑impact organizations, building trusted relationships while adapting your engagement strategies to different stakeholder roles and organizational contexts. Reporting to the Senior Director of Innovation, New Learning Models, you’ll own end‑to‑end session design, direct the delivery team, resolve ambiguity independently, and exercise sound judgment within established goals and priorities—collaborating with leadership when decisions may affect scope, resources, or partner commitment.
