Chief of Staff to the CEO

ABOUT US:

At Brisk Teaching, we aim to lighten the workload for teachers with AI-powered tools that take care of administrative tasks so that teachers can spend more time doing what they love - teaching. Brisk is an AI-powered Chrome extension that simplifies teaching by integrating seamlessly with tools teachers already use like Google Classroom, Docs, Slides, YouTube, and articles. In seconds, teachers can create instructional materials, provide feedback, and evaluate student work - right from where they're already working.

We are a diverse group of technologists, educators, and parents, all united by a passion to improve the lives of educators. With over a decade of collective teaching experience and roles at leading education technology companies like the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Seesaw Learning, PBS Kids, NoRedInk, Panorama Education, GoGuardian, and Edulastic, we deeply understand what educators need.

THE OPPORTUNITY:

As Chief of Staff to the CEO, you will be the force multiplier for the CEO, initially focused on public speaking engagements, partnerships with consulting and advocacy firms, and managing administrative items. This is a unique opportunity to have a profound impact on a fast-growing AI company at the forefront of defining the next era of education.

• Execute with precision and agility: Roll up your sleeves to drive execution across a range of critical tasks, from coordinating high-stakes meetings to synthesizing competitive intelligence and market trends.
