Director of Learning Science, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000/year USD

You have established a clear academic vision in the past and taken full ownership of its results. You have led with direct accountability, not from a distance. In learning science, you are not an observer. You have created something substantive, produced measurable outcomes that validate your approach, and earned credibility to present that work publicly. If this describes your experience, 2 Hour Learning seeks its academic leader. 2 Hour Learning has developed a system in which students achieve learning outcomes twice as quickly, in only two hours per day. Mastery-based progression, AI tutoring, and a fundamental redesign of traditional classroom models underpin these results. The outcomes are measurable and significant. We now require a leader capable of aligning execution across varied school implementations, elevating academic leadership standards, and serving as the authoritative voice for a movement rooted in evidence-based learning science. This role is not theoretical. It is a leadership imperative. You will take ownership of academic strategy in operational terms, establish rigorous standards, diagnose execution shortfalls, and develop high-performing teams to achieve concrete results. You will convert our scientific principles into disciplined execution and advocate for this model on a global scale. What You Will Be Doing Developing academic frameworks that convert learning science principles into actionable direction for curriculum design, student motivation systems, and application architecture. Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to confirm school teams maintain alignment, accountability, and outcome delivery. Analyzing data, conducting stakeholder interviews, and performing direct observations to produce comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that identify high-impact obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend targeted interventions. Establishing strategic coherence through structured planning, continuous feedback mechanisms, and milestone oversight to sustain focus on learning objectives. Serving as the principal representative of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile contexts, including keynote presentations and engagements with Ministries of Education, to influence systemic transformation in global education thinking. What You Won’t Be Doing Working on standalone curriculum initiatives that lack systemic impact. Producing theoretical research disconnected from measurable student outcomes or operational implementation. Transferring performance accountability to mid-level managers or external consultants.
