About the job Principal Advisor, Learning & Pedagogy

Principal Advisor, Learning & Pedagogy

Were seeking a senior educator - a professor or retired professor in education, pedagogy, or learning sciences—to serve as a trusted advisor and public intellectual ally. This is not an operational role. Its not a heavy time commitment. It is a chance to shape how governments understand what AI-powered education should be.

Incept Labs (www.inceptlabs.ai) is building something fundamentally new: AI-native public education systems designed for entire countries, not pilot programs or classrooms. Our platforms continuously adapt to individual learners while respecting national curricula, languages, and cultural values. One country is already live, with two more in progress.

  • The technology is there.
  • The government interest is there.
  • What unlocks momentum is educational credibility in the room.

What Youd Actually Do

  • Join select customer and government calls as an educational advisor
  • Reinforce pedagogical soundness, learning science, and long-term outcomes
  • Help decision-makers feel confident that Incepts approach is educationally serious, not just technically impressive
  • Offer occasional strategic guidance via short calls or email
  • Make targeted introductions when appropriate

You are there to anchor the conversation in educational legitimacy—to elevate the dialogue from Can this work? to This is how public education evolves.

Why This Is Different From Typical Advisory Roles

Most advisory boards are symbolic. This one is instrumental.

You wouldnt be asked to sell. You wouldnt be asked to hustle. You would be asked to do what you already do best:

  • Speak with authority

  • Ask the right questions

  • Signal to governments that this approach aligns with decades of learning science—not hype cycles

Commitment & Upside

Time:

  • Light and flexible

  • Occasional calls and check-ins tied to real opportunities

Compensation:

  • $100,000 per year in stock options

  • Vesting monthly

  • Renewable annually

Incept is targeting a $1B+ valuation, meaning this role offers not just intellectual impact—but meaningful financial upside tied to transforming public education globally.

Additional retainers or cash compensation are available if involvement expands.
