Lead and architect internal and external quantum education programs at Alice & Bob to promote quantum literacy and collaborate with educational institutions.
О компании
- Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems. The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit 🐈⬛ . In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously! We're a diverse team of 250+ brilliant minds from over 35 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together! About the Role This role works closely with the leadership team, and is t

Требования
- 5+ years of experience building and managing programs at the intersection of science, education, or research in academia, industry, or institutional settings globally.
- Master's degree or equivalent in a relevant field (physics, engineering, education, or related); PhD appreciated but not required.
- Strong enough grasp of quantum computing to engage credibly with physicists and translate for everyone else.
- A track record of building structured programs from scratch — curricula, bootcamps, summer schools or certificate programs.
- A solid academic or research network, with familiarity across leading universities and institutions globally.
- Prior experience managing institutional partnerships across academic, regulatory or corporate stakeholders.
- Project management chops: several programs running at once, on time and on budget, with a high degree of autonomy.
- An entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable with ambiguity, and treats constraints as design challenges.
