About This Role

Overview

You've articulated a clear academic vision and taken full ownership of the results.

You've led visibly, not from the sidelines.

And when it comes to learning science, you're not experimenting—you've constructed something tangible, produced measurable outcomes, and earned credibility to present it publicly.

If that describes you, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its academic leader.

At 2 Hour Learning, we've designed a system in which students achieve twice the learning velocity in just two hours daily.

AI-driven tutoring, mastery-oriented progression, and a fundamental break from traditional classroom formats underpin these results.

The outcomes are remarkable.

We now need a leader who can harmonize execution across varied school models, elevate academic leadership standards, and serve as the public advocate for a movement rooted in disciplined learning science.

This is not a role focused on academic theory.

It's a leadership imperative.

You'll own the academic strategy in execution, establish rigorous standards, surface gaps in delivery, and mentor high-performing teams to achieve tangible results.

You'll convert our scientific principles into operational rigor and champion this model on a global stage.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Developing academic frameworks that convert learning science into actionable guidance for curriculum, motivational systems, and application design.
  • Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure school teams remain aligned, accountable, and results-driven.
  • Analyzing data, conducting interviews, and observing practice to produce academic ecosystem reviews that identify the highest-impact barriers to accelerated learning and recommend concrete interventions.
  • Ensuring strategic alignment through planning cycles, feedback mechanisms, and milestone monitoring to sustain focus on student learning objectives.
  • Serving as the face of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile settings, from keynote addresses to engagements with Ministries of Education, advancing systemic transformation in global education paradigms.

What You Won’t Be Doing

  • Working on isolated curriculum initiatives without generating systemic impact.
  • Producing theoretical research disconnected from student outcomes or operational execution.
  • Handing off performance accountability to middle management or external consultants.
  • Depending on institutional reputation or abstract theory to convince critical stakeholders.

Director Of Academic Excellence Key Responsibilities

Expand and elevate 2 Hour Learning's validated academic model by harmonizing execution across school sites, raising leadership standards, and serving as the authoritative public voice of a movement anchored in rigorous science and demonstrated results.

Basic 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

Education

is broken, but 2 Hour Learning is proving it doesn’t have to be.

They’re tearing down the outdated one-size-fits-all model and replacing it with AI-driven personalized learning that helps kids master academics in just two hours a day.

With students consistently ranking in the top 1-2% nationally and the top 20% achieving an astonishing 6.5x growth, they’re proving that smarter learning is possible.

At 2 Hour Learning, it’s talent and performance that matter.

They offer a dynamic, on-campus and remote-friendly environment where innovators, educators, and AI specialists can be a part of fixing a broken school system.

2 Hour Learning is reprogramming learning for the AI era.

Here’s How They’re Fixing It.

There is so much to cover for this exciting role, and space here is limited.
