Position Summary
To advance Teach For All’s 25-year vision, we are seeking a strategic AI and technology leader to join our Technology & Innovation team and work globally to identify, prioritize, and scale transformative AI-enabled solutions that accelerate the impact of our global network.
This role will work across the network with partners or groups of partners in order to identify and deliver transformative AI-forward technology products to accelerate network impact, as well as internally across the global organization to increase efficiency and effectiveness of our work. The successful candidate will also be responsible for helping build and cultivate a community of technology enthusiasts across the network made up of network staff members, fellows and alumni who will contribute to these projects.
About the Team
The Technology & Innovation Team provides thought-leadership and solutions as well as foundational support in the use of technology to unlock potential and accelerate impact across the organization and the global network. The team leverages a deep understanding of the work and needs of the global organization, its teams and partners, our own expertise and global best practice to provide targeted solutions and technologies to accelerate our global impact. You will play a key role in this work.
Outcomes
- Develop and lead AI and technology solutions strategy that advances organizational priorities, strengthens network impact, and drives innovation across Teach For All and its partner organizations.
- Identifying and delivering key AI-forward technologies for network partners to support their work. These may include tools for common needs across the network – classroom data collection, professional development of fellows, scheduling and management of Assessment Centers (where teaching fellows are selected) or new platforms (connectivity tools, online learning) - which are identified and scoped in partnership with our network partners. Many if not all of these technologies will include AI components.
- Similarly, identifying and delivering technology solutions to increase the impact of the global organization. This could include improvements to ourlearning portals for network staff, fellows and alumni, an online platform enabling teachers and teacher coaches across and beyond our network to engage in our global professional development learning community, or a new global “constituent voice” system that enables all our network partners to surface feedback from key constituents in ways that strengthen global learning loops.
- Taking an AI-forward approach to increase organizational effectiveness, increase our impact in supporting network partners in their work, and evolve our systems and ways of working to incorporate new tools and technologies.
