Quantum Academy Lead

Build and lead Alice & Bob's internal quantum education program

• Design a tiered quantum physics curriculum covering fundamentals, superconducting qubits, cat qubit architecture, and quantum error correction


• Develop self-paced modules, live seminars, and hands-on bootcamps adapted to different technical backgrounds


• Define learning pathways by role (hardware, software, business, operations) in collaboration with team leads


• Create and maintain an internal knowledge base that evolves with research


• Build metrics to assess learning outcomes and iterate continuously

Design and run Alice & Bob's annual Summer School for doctoral researchers

• Build a network of academic partners (universities, grandes écoles, national labs) to source participants and co-design content


• Recruit and coordinate a faculty of internal scientists and external experts


• Manage the program end-to-end: curriculum, logistics, participant selection, and follow-up


• Leverage the summer school to strengthen Alice & Bob's academic brand and build a talent pipeline

Own Alice & Bob's academic community strategy

• Position Alice & Bob as the most exciting place to learn cutting-edge quantum computing globally


• Build and nurture relationships with professors, lab directors, and quantum research institutions worldwide


• Represent Alice & Bob at academic events and conferences


• Manage Alice & Bob's CIFRE thesis program, from partner identification to candidate follow-up and institutional coordination

• Identify and negotiate partnerships with leading institutions


• Design the curriculum in close collaboration with Alice & Bob's scientific leadership


• Define the program's positioning, admission criteria, and pedagogical approach


• Navigate the institutional and regulatory landscape for higher education program creation in France and Europe

Develop Alice & Bob's Academy into an ecosystem platform

• Lead the creation and execution of quantum hackathons, innovation programs and developer engagement initiatives that stimulate ecosystem growth


• Design and deliver executive education, technical workshops and advisory programs for customers, partners and public institutions


• Package internal educational content, training methodologies and learning assets into scalable customer, partner and ecosystem offerings

• 5+ years of experience building and managing programs at the intersection of science, education, or research in academia, industry, or institutional settings globally.


• Master's degree or equivalent in a relevant field (physics, engineering, education, or related); PhD appreciated but not required.


• Strong enough grasp of quantum computing to engage credibly with physicists and translate for everyone else.


• A track record of building structured programs from scratch — curricula, bootcamps, summer schools or certificate programs.


• A solid academic or research network, with familiarity across leading universities and institutions globally.


• Prior experience managing institutional partnerships across academic, regulatory or corporate stakeholders.


• Project management chops: several programs running at once, on time and on budget, with a high degree of autonomy.


• An entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable with ambiguity, and treats constraints as design challenges.


• Fluent communication and facilitation in both English and French.
