Job description

At 2 Hour Learning, we’ve engineered a model where students learn twice as fast in just two hours a day. AI tutors, mastery-based progression, and a radical departure from conventional classroom structures drive these outcomes. The results are exceptional. Now we’re looking for a leader who can unify execution across diverse school models, raise the bar on academic leadership, and become the external voice of a movement grounded in rigorous learning science. This is not an academic theory role. It’s a leadership mandate. You’ll own the academic strategy in practice, set clear standards, identify execution gaps, and coach top-tier teams to deliver real outcomes. You’ll translate our scientific foundations into operational discipline and make the case for this model to the world. What you will be doing: - Creating academic frameworks that translate learning science into practical guidance for curriculum, motivation systems, and app design. - Leading academic execution reviews across Heads of Academics to ensure school teams are aligned, accountable, and delivering results. - Synthesizing data, interviews, and observation into academic ecosystem reviews that spotlight the highest-leverage barriers to accelerated learning and propose actionable interventions. - Driving strategic alignment through planning, feedback loops, and milestone tracking to maintain focus on student learning goals. - Representing 2 Hour Learning at the highest levels, from keynote stages to sessions with Ministries of Education, driving systemic change in how the world thinks about school.

Requirements

- Advanced degree (Masters or Ph.D) in Learning Science, Educational Psychology, Instructional Design, or a related field - At least 7 years in academic or EdTech leadership roles, leading a team of staff/employees (not an informal peer leader role, such as grade-level lead); you must have been responsible for hiring, monitoring performance, coaching, and making termination decisions - Experience driving learning outcomes for students and upholding student performance standards - Experience applying AI or emerging technologies to improve education, such as through personalized learning, adaptive learning, AI agents, etc. - Experience managing academic teams of 50+ people (e.g., the teams you managed directly executed curriculum, instruction, or assessment) - Experience interacting directly with students, teachers, or school leaders in a professional setting
