Events have a thousand moving parts. You need to be someone who lives for a checklist and finds peace in a well-managed project plan. -No task is too small if it makes the event a success. You are as comfortable discussing strategy as you are packing event boxes or chasing guest speakers. -What we are building and why? Getting the right teacher into the right school at the right time is a crucial problem to solve, both for education outcomes for children and for the sustainability of an industry that spends billions on this. To fuel this growth, we are building a world-class events engine.
