Description
You’ve defined a bold academic vision before and owned the outcomes. You’ve led from the front, not from behind the scenes. When it comes to learning science, you’re not dabbling. You’ve built something real, driven results that prove it works, and earned the right to stand on stage and tell the story. If this sounds like you, 2 Hour Learning is looking for its academic north star. 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.
Candidate 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); 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 (e.g., personalized learning, adaptive learning, AI agents).
- Experience managing academic teams of 50+ people (teams directly executed curriculum, instruction, or assessment).
