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

You have shaped ambitious academic visions and taken full ownership of their results. You have led with visibility and accountability, not from the sidelines. When it comes to the science of learning, you are not an observer—you have built proven systems, delivered measurable impact, and earned credibility to speak with authority. If that describes your track record, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its chief architect of academic excellence.

2 Hour Learning operates on a model that enables students to learn at double the pace in only two hours per day. This is made possible through AI-powered tutoring, mastery-based advancement, and a fundamental reimagining of traditional school design. The outcomes speak for themselves. We now need a leader capable of aligning execution across varied school environments, elevating academic leadership standards, and serving as the public advocate for a movement rooted in rigorous learning science.

This role is not theoretical. It is a leadership imperative. You will take ownership of academic strategy in action, define performance benchmarks, surface execution shortfalls, and develop elite teams to produce tangible results. You will bridge our scientific principles with operational rigor and champion this model on the world stage.

What You Will Be Doing

• Designing academic frameworks that convert learning science into actionable direction for curriculum development, student motivation structures, and application interfaces.
• Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure school teams remain aligned, responsible, and results-driven.
• Integrating data, stakeholder interviews, and direct observation into comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that identify high-impact obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend targeted solutions.
• Ensuring strategic coherence through structured planning, continuous feedback, and milestone oversight to sustain focus on student achievement objectives.
• Serving as the principal representative of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile settings—from major conference platforms to engagements with national Ministries of Education—advancing transformational thinking about schooling worldwide.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Working on narrow curriculum initiatives that fail to produce system-wide impact.
• Producing theoretical research disconnected from measurable student outcomes or implementation.
• Transferring accountability for performance to mid-level managers or external advisors.
• Depending on institutional credibility or conceptual arguments to convince doubtful audiences.
