This includes leading product development, IT, and R&D, and ensuring that all new initiatives align with the company's mission and long-term goals.

The role requires a leader with an entrepreneurial spirit, a strong orientation towards learning, design thinking, and a commitment to user experience. Experience in AI and a background in edtech are advantageous. The CITO will be expected to have a deep commitment to the company's mission, core values, and vision, particularly in the areas of race, equity, diversity, and inclusion.
