General Manager - Alabama

Withprimer, El Paso, Texas, United States,


The next generation is stuck in an industrialized education system. We’re relying on them to invent the future, but they won’t be able to solve 2050’s challenges with an educational supply chain built for the 1950’s. We need a new system, one where kids learn how to think instead of what to think — and that’s what we’re building at Primer.Come do your life’s work

We won’t sugar coat it: what we’re trying to do is incredibly hard. For most of us, this is the hardest problem we’ve ever worked on. But that’s precisely what makes it so fulfilling.It’s early days,but we’re onto something

Imani’s mom: "It’s the best thing that happened to my son. The way they teach is wonderful. My son loves to go to school; he’s learning and happy."Armani’s mom: "Moving my daughter was the best decision I’ve ever made. She’s able to shine and also get the one-on-one help she needs at times."We have some great thinkers and investors in our corner to help us do the work too.

Full timeAbout Primer

Fixing our K-12 education system is a civilizationally-important problem. We believe that all of our problems — including the ones that dominate the headlines — are downstream of education.We have a simple thesis on how to solve it: empower 1,000's of educators to launch microschools in their communities.We believe the historical tradeoff between price (tuition) and quality is a false dichotomy.PrimerOS automates and eliminates much of the costs of traditional schools. Microschools have a structural advantage — asset-light real estate — which means much lower capex and opex. You put it together, and you get something that's never existed before: a world-class education that's accessible to normal American families and can rapidly scale.What You’ll Do
