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 Partnerships Manager, Schools & Orgs Role:

TKS trains young people to solve important problems in the world, and we're often asked "how do the students hear about you?" This is where you come in! You will be directly responsible for over 40% of applications to the program by making schools & organizations aware of TKS.

The main channels you will be focusing on are schools, youth organizations and student events/conferences (like the International Science and Engineering Fair). In this role, you’ll build meaningful relationships with these institutions as a channel to reach curious and ambitious young people from around the world.

This will include managing a pipeline of relationships, organizing meetings with key stakeholders, organizing value add opportunities with institutions such as speaking events, teacher and student workshops, and managing a global community of educators, with the ultimate goal of leveraging them to find top students to participate in the program.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Growing our Champion Network of Schools & Orgs: You’ll identify and reach out to school district leadership (superintendents), school administrators, counsellors, and teachers to introduce them to the TKS program and showcase how their students can benefit from it, building TKS Champions and brand recognition.
• Building value-add partner relationships: You’ll identify and lead mutually beneficial relationships with large international youth organizations, conferences and events. Collaborate with these partners to organize joint events, conference activations, workshops, and initiatives that provide added value for both TKS and partner organizations, showcasing the benefits of the TKS program to their respective communities.
• Driving student applications to TKS: Leveraging the relationships you've cultivated with our network of champions and partners, you'll play a critical role in driving student applications to TKS. Your objective will be to meet/ exceed the target for referral applications to TKS generated through our trusted champions network.
