Director, Academics, Partnership Launch

The Academic Director for the Partnership Launch group is responsible for the successful debut of all academic programming in a new territory. The inaugural cohort of schools in any territory could range from the 100s to the 1000s, and every single school must be prepared to deploy a world-class

academic programme from Day 1. This work will include conducting field-based and desk research on all aspects of standard academic programming and school operations in the new market. From this starting point, the Academic Director works closely with their Shared Services colleagues to develop the Academic Plan for the new programme, which details how NewGlobe s methodology is customized to reflect the unique learning needs and educational context in the new territory. This plan will cover course offerings, textbooks, assessment design, daily timetable, leveling of instructional materials, and more. In this role, you are also responsible for initial technical consultation with government curriculum leaders and policy makers. Eventually, you will hire your permanent replacement for this market, ensuring (s)he is set up to succeed even after you leave to begin work in another new market. This role would report directly to the Senior Director, Partnership Launch.
