Director of Academic Excellence, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000/year USD
Skills
About This Role
Overview
You have shaped ambitious academic strategies and taken full ownership of their outcomes.
You have led decisively from the front lines, not from a distance.
When it comes to learning science, your work is grounded in substance—you have created tangible systems, produced measurable results that validate their effectiveness, and earned credibility to share that story publicly.
If this describes your track record, 2 Hour Learning seeks its chief architect of academic strategy.
2 Hour Learning has developed a system in which students achieve learning gains at twice the typical rate within just two hours per day.
This performance is powered by AI-driven tutoring, mastery-based advancement, and a fundamental redesign of traditional classroom paradigms.
The impact is demonstrable.
We now seek a leader capable of harmonizing execution across varied school implementations, elevating the quality of academic leadership, and serving as the authoritative public advocate for a movement rooted in disciplined learning science.
This is a leadership imperative, not a research exercise.
You will direct academic strategy in operational terms, define performance standards, surface gaps in execution, and develop high-performing teams to achieve concrete outcomes.
You will convert our scientific principles into operational rigor and articulate the rationale for this model on a global scale.
What You Will Be Doing
- Designing academic frameworks that convert learning science principles into actionable guidance for curriculum design, motivational architecture, and application development.
- Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to confirm alignment, accountability, and consistent delivery of results across school teams.
- Consolidating data, stakeholder interviews, and direct observation into comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that pinpoint the most critical obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend targeted interventions.
- Ensuring strategic coherence through structured planning, continuous feedback mechanisms, and milestone oversight to sustain focus on student learning objectives.
- Serving as the principal representative of 2 Hour Learning in high-level forums, including keynote presentations and engagements with national education authorities, to influence systemic transformation in educational practice.
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Engaging in fragmented curriculum initiatives that lack systemic impact.
- Producing theoretical research disconnected from measurable student outcomes or operational implementation.
- Transferring accountability for performance to mid-level managers or external consultants.
- Depending on institutional reputation or unproven theory to convince critical audiences.
Director Of Academic Excellence Key Responsibilities
Expand and refine 2 Hour Learning's validated academic model by aligning execution across all school sites, raising leadership performance standards, and establishing yourself as the authoritative public advocate for a movement founded on disciplined science and demonstrated impact.
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
