British Columbia, Canada The Knowledge Society Full time

**About TKS**:
TKS is a global human accelerator that partners with top innovators like Google, Neurable, OpenAI, SpaceX, DeepMind, NASA, and the United Nations to develop the next generation of impact-leaders, innovators, CEOs, and scientists through coaching and project-based learning.

Our graduates have founded venture-backed companies with focuses ranging from nuclear-powered ships to AI-enhanced batteries, pioneering blockchain infrastructure, and innovative medical devices.

Learn about the inspiring journeys of our recent alumni, including:

- Samarth Athreya, a TKS 2017 alum and founder of Axiome, known for its cutting-edge biosensors for molecular diagnostics.
- Adam Majmudar, from TKS 2019, became the founding engineer at Thirdweb, now valued at $160M.
- Jay Parthasarthy, TKS 2016 alum, early employee at Sequoia-backed AI startup, Tecton, now at Atomic Semi

You can think of TKS as a hybrid between Y-Combinator/McKinsey, but instead of building unicorn companies we’re building _unicorn people_ and instead of providing world-class guidance to CEOs, we’re doing that for young people (ages 13 - 17). See Program Overview for more details.

**The Program Director Position**:
Program Directors are responsible for delivering our 10-month program to 80-120 students. Our Director team is uniquely composed of ex-founders, Scientists, Engineers, VCs, Management Consultants, Product leaders, and more who have a passion for unlocking potential, and want to help make a difference in the world.
