INDUSTRY EXPERTISE

Education & Ed Tech

Education and ed tech organizations are under pressure like never before. Rapid shifts in technology, policy, and learner expectations are forcing schools, platforms, and content providers to rethink how learning happens.

Leaders who can navigate this are rare, and finding them is a challenge most traditional recruiters struggle to solve.

Hunt Club helps education and ed tech organizations bridge that gap. We uncover and provide access to top-tier talent—leaders who can transform learning experiences and move your organization forward.

We know what great talent looks like in education & ed tech.

Drawing on years of executive search experience and leading organizations, we’ve identified some of the core competencies of high-impact leaders who transform how education is delivered.

Cross-Sector Collaboration

Builds bridges between educators, technologists, policy makers, and investors. Can translate jargon, align competing priorities, and create coalitions that actually move the needle in learning.

Tech Fluency with Pedagogical Insight

Understands how algorithms, platforms, and user interfaces shape learning experiences, and anticipates how instructional design and cognitive science principles translate into engagement and outcomes.

Learner-Centered Mindset

Understands if a service, product, or platform doesn’t improve learning, it doesn’t get built. Believes every feature or strategy starts with the user—students, teachers, or administrators.

Change Advocacy

Embraces and understands how to operate in the tension between slow-moving institutions and fast-moving tech. Makes teams excited about change, even when the path isn’t obvious.

Impact-Driven Communication & Storytelling

Makes complex ideas feel urgent and tangible to teams. Their passion and storytelling inspire action across boards, classrooms, and investor decks alike.

Ethical & Inclusive Design Leadership

Anticipate unintended consequences, bias, or access barriers. Designs and operates with all learners and end-users in mind, ensuring equity is reflected in every decision.
