<div><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Position Summary</b></h1>
<p>
To advance Teach For All's 25-year vision, we are seeking a <b>Global Lead, AI for Programmatic Impact, </b>whose primary focus is unlocking the potential of our network partners' use of AI to accelerate their programmatic impact. At its heart, this role is about helping partners use AI to have a bigger impact on the children and communities they serve &mdash; and doing that by connecting partners with each other, providing direct advisory support, capturing and sharing insights across the network, and potentially managing a subgrant fund through which partners could apply for resources to accelerate their AI programs.</p>
<p>
This is a role for someone who enables, connects, inspires, and learns alongside others. It will require deep partnerships across the organisation and network, with programmatic specialists, regional teams, technology colleagues, and the partners themselves. It also requires helping to convene and align the various people across Teach For All's global organization working on AI, ensuring our collective efforts are mutually reinforcing and coherently communicated, and upholding the network standards for responsible AI use, ensuring partners have the resources and support to use AI safely and in alignment with our shared values.</p>
<p>
This role provides consulting and advisory support with no direct authority over Partners, who are independent organisations with their own governance structures, making relationship-building, flexibility, and the ability to bridge technical and programmatic content essential.</p>
<p>
Success in this role will be reflected in:</p>
<ul>
<li>The degree to which partners are using AI innovatively and safely to advance their programmatic impact</li>
<li>The vibrancy and connectedness of AI learning communities across the network</li>
<li>Evidence of strong ethical grounding and responsible AI governance across partner organizations</li>
</ul><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>About the Team</b></h1>
<p>
The Collective Learning and Consulting (CLC) team is a diverse group of over 25 staff members with an array of expertise, ranging from teacher recruitment and professional development to governance to public/private sector partnerships. In collaboration with others, the CLC team drives aggregate impact across the network by:</p>
<ul>
<li>Distilling and sharing insights</li>
<li>Designing and facilitating meaningful learning opportunities and communities in virtual, in-person, and blended spaces</li>
<li>Providing tailored coaching and consulting to early-stage entrepreneurs and current network partners</li>
<li>Contributing insights on education, leadership, and system change to the broader global ecosystem</li>
</ul><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>Key Responsibilities</b></h1>
<p>
The responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:</p>

<li><b>Capturing and sharing insights</b>: Proactively learn from partner innovations across the network and make key insights, case studies, and resources available via the network portal; connect partners pursuing similar questions so they can learn from each other</li>
<li><b>Collaboration with programmatic specialists</b>: Work alongside functional specialists (e.g. in teacher training, alumni, selection) to bring an AI lens to their communities and help catalyze conversations about how AI can strengthen specific programmatic functions</li>
<li><b>Build and buy guidance</b>: In collaboration with IT colleagues, help partners think through what to build vs. buy; stay current on the landscape of AI tools and surface recommendations for technologies that could address consistent partner needs</li>
<li><b>Subgrant fund</b>: Explore the possibility of creating a fund to enable partners' AI innovation, and collaborate with colleagues on the sub-granting team to define the parameters of that fund and to act as the programmatic lead for the fund</li>
