About the role

You've shaped a transformative academic vision and taken full ownership of its delivery. You've led with conviction, not from the sidelines. When it comes to the science of learning, you're not experimenting—you've constructed something tangible, produced measurable results that validate its effectiveness, and secured the authority to present that story on prominent platforms. If this describes your experience, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its definitive academic leader.

At 2 Hour Learning, we have developed a system in which students achieve twice the learning velocity in only two hours each day. This is powered by AI-driven tutoring, mastery-oriented progression, and a fundamental redesign of traditional classroom paradigms. The outcomes speak for themselves. We now seek a leader capable of harmonizing implementation across varied school environments, elevating academic leadership standards, and serving as the authoritative external voice for a movement rooted in evidence-based learning science.

This role is not an exercise in academic abstraction. It is an operational leadership imperative. You will command the academic strategy in execution, establish unambiguous standards, surface gaps in delivery, and mentor elite teams toward tangible results. You will convert our scientific underpinnings into disciplined operations and champion this model to a global audience.

What You Will Be Doing

Designing academic structures that convert learning science into actionable direction for curriculum development, motivational architecture, and application interfaces.
Conducting academic performance audits with Heads of Academics to guarantee that school teams maintain alignment, accountability, and outcome delivery.
Integrating data analysis, stakeholder interviews, and field observation into comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that pinpoint the most impactful obstacles to learning acceleration and recommend concrete solutions.
Ensuring strategic coherence through structured planning, continuous feedback mechanisms, and progress monitoring to sustain concentration on student achievement objectives.
Serving as the principal representative of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile settings—from international conference keynotes to consultations with national education authorities—to catalyze global shifts in educational thinking.

What You Won’t Be Doing

Engaging in fragmented curriculum experiments that lack systemic impact.
Producing theoretical research disconnected from measurable student outcomes or practical implementation.
Transferring accountability for team performance to mid-level management or external advisors.
Depending on institutional prestige or conceptual frameworks to influence doubtful decision-makers.

Director Of Academic Excellence Key Responsibilities Expand and advance 2 Hour Learning's validated academic framework by standardizing implementation across school sites, raising leadership benchmarks, and establishing yourself as the authoritative public advocate for a movement anchored in rigorous scientific evidence and demonstrable 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
