What if your analytical skills could help solve problems affecting millions of young people?

Every day, young people face challenges involving excessive screen time, digital distractions, financial illiteracy, and a lack of practical life skills.

We believe education needs a smarter operating system.

And we need someone who knows how to help us design one that revolutionizes youth education.

JakeyMac Foundation is developing SmartFast Learning™, an innovative, audio-first educational platform that helps youth build confidence, digital safety awareness, financial intelligence, and real-world skills—without requiring more screen time.

Through initiatives like SmartFast™, we're working to empower families and create a new approach to youth development.

We have ambitious ideas, developing technology, and a mission worth pursuing.

Now we need a Business Analyst who can turn complexity into clarity—and help us leverage AI to build systems that scale.

Your Mission

• • Connect the dots: Analyze our programs, business processes, technology, and operations to identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Turn ideas into executable plans: Translate leadership's vision into clear requirements, workflows, process maps, and actionable recommendations.
  • Design smarter systems: Identify opportunities to automate repetitive tasks using AI, CRM platforms, and workflow tools.
  • Make data meaningful: Help create dashboards and performance metrics that measure program effectiveness, operational efficiency, and educational impact.
  • Solve problems before they grow: Identify bottlenecks, unnecessary costs, operational risks, and opportunities to scale.
  • Bridge vision and execution: Collaborate with project managers, developers, content creators, and Foundation leadership to turn concepts into functioning systems.

You're Our Kind of Analyst If…

You believe the best solutions don't just fix problems.

They build systems that prevent them.

You're naturally curious, analytical, organized, and capable of looking at a complex operation and asking:

"Why are we doing it this way—and is there a better way?"

You enjoy documenting processes, interpreting data, identifying inefficiencies, and turning complicated ideas into simple, repeatable workflows.

Experience with Excel, Google Sheets, CRM systems, automation platforms, process mapping, or AI tools is helpful.

Experience in business analysis, operations, technology, consulting, or startups is a plus.

You don't need to know everything. You need to know how to investigate, organize, and improve it.

What You'll Gain

• • Real-world impact: Help develop educational systems with the potential to improve young lives.
  • Meaningful portfolio experience: Build process maps, operational dashboards, requirements documents, and automation blueprints.
  • Strategic collaboration: Work directly with Foundation leadership and a multidisciplinary team.
  • Innovation experience: Help shape an emerging AI-powered educational initiative from the ground up.
  • Purpose: Apply your analytical talents to a mission that could benefit families and future generations.

Ready to Help Engineer Something Extraordinary?

We're not looking for someone to simply analyze spreadsheets.

We're looking for an amazing process architect and systems thinker.

Someone who sees inefficiency as an opportunity, complexity as a challenge, and meaningful impact as the ultimate measure of success.

Your next analysis could help create a better way for young people to learn, grow, and thrive.
