About 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 Florida GM. You’ll be accountable for the growth and quality of Primer’s operations in Florida, 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

• Manage Primer’s continued expansion across Florida.

• Work closely with our real estate, education, operation, and finance leaders to ensure new Primers are launched under budget and ahead of schedule.

• Manage Primer’s ongoing operations in Florida, ultimately being accountable both the P&L and operations quality across the state.

• Be the face of Primer locally to politicians, candidates, families, team members and potential partners.
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing a business or business unit as a General Manager or similar role.

• Past accountability to aggressive growth, revenue, operating margin, and expansion targets.

• Personal ties to Florida, ideally with a strong local reputation in Broward County or Miami-Dade County.
