Playlab is launching a rigorous, design-forward, 24-month cohort for visionary learning community leaders—heads of school, district/network leaders, CEOs, and founders—who are building AI-enabled learning environments that shift real agency to students. We’re hiring a Lab Schools Learning Partner to architect and run this cohort end-to-end.
Job Responsibility:
Cohort Design & Strategy: Design a 24-month, high-rigor cohort where leaders design, prototype, and refine AI-enabled learning environments that elevate student agency

Define clear outcomes, milestones, and evidence routines
Partner & Ecosystem Collaboration: Serve as the primary point of contact for Learner Studio and key ecosystem partners
Align sessions, workstreams, and artifacts
Convene and manage multi-organization working groups
Learning Community Leadership Support: Coach and support heads of school, district/network leaders, CEOs/founders to articulate ambitious visions
Translate those visions into concrete pilots, staffing plans, instructional models, and role shifts
Ensure work is tied to academic goals, equity commitments, and community priorities
Program Delivery & Facilitation: Design and facilitate high-quality convenings—virtual and in-person
Build a culture of candor, co-creation, and shared practice
Manage logistics, communications, and cadence
AI Applications, Product, and Evidence: Help leaders identify high-leverage AI use cases
Coordinate co-build cycles with Playlab’s product and engineering teams
Partner with research colleagues to define and measure student agency, instructional change, and system redesign
Storytelling, Artifacts, & Field Influence: Guide learning communities in developing reusable artifacts
Curate stories of student agency, new learning environments, and AI-enabled practice
Ensure the cohort contributes meaningfully to national learning
Requirements:
Significant K–12 leadership experience, including: Founding or leading a school

Serving in a senior district/CMO role
A track record of system-level implementation (not just pilots) that changed practice and outcomes
Experience in multiple schooling contexts, including: At least one traditional public district
At least one charter network or innovative environment (lab schools, microschools, project-based models)
Strong program and project management skills and comfort owning a complex, multi-site initiative
Deep belief in student agency, equity, and public education
Comfortable with AI/edtech and translating between educators and technical teams
excited to deepen your technical fluency
Exceptional facilitator and relationship-builder with senior leaders and school teams alike
Strong conceptual and practical thinking—able to help leaders envision new models and then back-map to schedules, roles, and constraints
High bias for action, flexibility, and comfort in a fast-evolving environment
Nice to have:
Experience running or supporting fellowships/cohorts for school founders or system leaders
Background in research, continuous improvement, measurement, or evaluation of student-centered outcomes
Experience working with design studios, intermediaries, or philanthropy
