This is a great opportunity to architect how a new form of schooling manages its operational & financial backbone — streamlining operations, analytics, ensuring compliance, and creating real-time performance visibility so that every resource contributes to joyful, quality education at scale.
We are looking for applicants who can start in Feb-March 2026 and can work full-time in Afro-European timezones (GMT +0:00 to GMT +2:00) or Eastern Timezone (GMT -3:00 to GMT -5:00). This is a fully remote position.
We're creating joy and quality educational outcomes at scale. We offer a fully synchronous digital school with micro-classrooms of students from different corners of the globe, learning together with top-notch teachers. We go beyond academics, focusing on social-emotional learning and cultural and environmental awareness through biome-themed units. We're curating an intuitive educational experience by integrating Ed-tech tools, research, and content. It's a sleek schooling experience for students, educators, and families.
You'll be the operational backbone of bina, building and managing the financial infrastructure that enables smart, data-driven decision-making across the organization. Initially, you'll focus on establishing robust financial systems — budgeting, forecasting, modeling, compliance, and reporting. Once these foundations are in place, some of your time will shift to optimizing operational KPIs and creating visibility into company-wide performance.
This role is designed to grow with bina. As we scale, you'll evolve from foundational operator to strategic leader — potentially growing into a C-level role as the company expands.
