Head of Ventures, GT School; Remote

You already built something from zero and took it to scale. Now you're looking for your next big bet- one 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 sessions - freeing 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 campus - with the goal of making it the prototype for a nationwide network. You'll also continue to build our virtual GT Anywhere program together with the team we already have in place. That means testing real-world programming, developing parent demand, building a culture that sticks, and crafting the playbooks to scale it all.

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 about—and students can’t wait to attend.

• Designing and testing scalable programs that extend beyond academics - focusing 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 model - driving visibility through media, events, and partnerships

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

Design, validate, and scale a high-performance gifted school model - starting with a single prototype campus and expanding to a national network.

• Built and scaled a high-impact venture from scratch (bonus if it involved physical operations or education). We are talking about at least 1M USD yearly revenue owned by you
• Deep, personal understanding of gifted students - whether through family, professional experience, or lived reality
• AI First mentality - Inclination to prioritize AI as the default solution for problem-solving, decision-making and work output generation at scale.
• Proven ability to articulate a compelling vision and convert skeptics into believers
• Based in the U.S., with ability to travel regularly to Austin (minimum 1 week/month)
• Eligible to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship
