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
We’re hiring our first Alabama GM. You’ll be accountable for the growth and quality of Primer’s operations in Alabama, as well as the face of Primer across the state.You’ll need to excel at operating “high / low” – flexing between high level strategy and low-level details many times each day. You might spend your morning working with new Primer leaders helping them prepare to launch, your afternoon meeting with a local Mayor discussing a partnership with the city, and your evening analyzing performance data – both academic and financial – of Primers across the state.What we’re trying to do is extremely hard – there’s a reason it hasn’t been done before. There’s a good chance this role will be the hardest work of your life. If you find that slightly-daunting-but-exciting, this might be the role for you.Responsibilities
