Chief Executive Officer

The AI-Native District Leadership and Strategic Planning Platform for Superintendents

We are building the AI-native strategic planning platform designed specifically for school superintendents and district leadership teams.

Superintendents are accountable for outcomes across academics, operations, finances, and community trust…but the role itself prevents them from being close to the underlying details. They cannot personally attend every meeting, review every dataset, or hear every stakeholder perspective firsthand. Instead, they depend on layers of reporting, synthesis, and interpretation from teams, consultants, and static documents.

As a result, a disproportionate amount of a superintendent’s time is spent not on decision-making, but on trying to understand what is actually happening in their district and community.

Intendent is built to compress that sense-making work.

The platform provides superintendents with a structured way to:

• collect qualitative input from stakeholders through surveys, interviews, and visits,
• capture and analyze lived experience and observational data,
• integrate that information with public education datasets,
• and synthesize it into a coherent, searchable source of insight.

Rather than producing disconnected reports, Intendent organizes this information into a living planning system:  one that allows superintendents to move from raw input to themes, from themes to priorities, and from priorities to a clear, defensible strategic plan.

The company was founded by Dr. Nathan Parker, a former New Jersey superintendent known for leading successful district turnarounds. Nathan brings deep practitioner credibility, direct access to the superintendent community, and product vision shaped by firsthand experience. He will serve as Executive Chair, partnering closely with the incoming CEO.

This is a co-founder CEO role, with full executive ownership.

You will be responsible for shaping and scaling a company that sits at the center of how superintendents understand their districts, communicate priorities, and make decisions.

You will own:

• the company’s narrative and positioning,
• early revenue and go-to-market direction,
• hiring and organizational design,
• operating priorities and capital allocation,
• and external representation with customers, partners, and future investors.

You will work in close partnership with the Executive Chair of the Board, Dr. Nathan Parker, but you will hold the CEO seat—with authority, accountability, and upside aligned accordingly.

This role requires executive presence, judgment, and executive-level communication.

You should be someone who:

• Can engage superintendents and cabinet-level leaders as a credible counterpart
• Understands how senior leaders evaluate trust, signal, and noise
• Communicates complex systems and tradeoffs clearly and calmly
• Is comfortable being the primary voice of the company in high-stakes conversations
• Makes decisions with conviction and adjusts course when evidence changes
• Appreciates the political and human realities of large public institutions

You should expect to operate in environments where credibility must be earned quickly and repeatedly.

In our ideal candidate, we are looking for founder-level judgment and execution, not a specific résumé.

Strong candidates will demonstrate:

• Experience selling or representing a product or service to senior decision-makers in complex environments
• The ability to drive early revenue through direct relationships and clear positioning
• Ownership of business fundamentals, including P&L, hiring decisions, and operating cadence
• Sound instincts around product scope, sequencing, and customer focus
• The ability to collaborate deeply with product and engineering while remaining outcome-oriented
• Strong written and verbal storytelling skills, particularly in zero-to-one contexts

Experience adjacent to K–12 systems, public institutions, or superintendent-level work is a meaningful advantage when it translates into credibility, pattern recognition, and speed of execution.

This is a CEO role in a company aiming to define a new category.

You should expect:

• To lead while the market is still learning how to articulate the problem
• To shape positioning and pricing alongside early customers
• To balance long-term vision with near-term execution
• To operate with focus and discipline as the company scales deliberately
• To be accountable for outcomes across strategy, revenue, product, and team

• Competitive cash compensation appropriate for an early-stage company
• Meaningful equity consistent with co-founder status
• Direct participation in long-term value creation
• A partnership model that aligns authority, accountability, and upside

This role is for someone who wants to build the system that helps district leaders see clearly, decide confidently, and lead effectively at scale.  We look forward to getting to know you.
