About Primer
Fixing our K-12 education system is a civilizationally-important problem. We believe that all of our problems including the ones that dominate the headlines are downstream of education.
We have a simple thesis on how to solve it: empower 1000s of educators to launch microschools in their communities.
We believe the historical tradeoff between price (tuition) and quality is a false dichotomy.
PrimerOS automates and eliminates much of the costs of traditional schools. Microschools have a structural advantage asset-light real estate which means much lower capex and opex. You put it together and you get something thats never existed before: a world-class education thats accessible to normal American families and can rapidly scale.
The Role
Were looking for a Head of People Operations who can keep pace with our growth: someone who loves fixing broken systems thrives in ambiguity and knows how to balance airtight compliance with a human-first approach. Youll be the architect of our people systems and culture ensuring that everyone at Primer can do the best work of their lives.
