You’ve owned a clear academic vision and driven measurable outcomes. You've led from the front lines, not from the sidelines. And when it comes to learning science, you're not experimenting—you’ve built something tangible, generated results that validate it, and earned the credibility to present it publicly. If this describes you, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its academic leader.

At 2 Hour Learning, we've designed a model in which students learn twice as fast in just two hours a day. AI tutors, mastery‑based progression, and a fundamental shift away from traditional classroom structures produce these outcomes. The results are outstanding. Now we need a leader who can unify execution across varied school models, elevate academic leadership standards, and serve as the external voice of a movement anchored in rigorous learning science.

This is not a role for academic theory. It's a leadership responsibility. You'll own the academic strategy in execution, establish clear standards, pinpoint performance gaps, and guide high‑caliber teams to achieve tangible results. You'll convert our scientific foundations into operational rigor and advocate for this model globally.

• Developing academic frameworks that convert learning science into actionable guidance for curriculum, motivation systems, and app design.
• Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure school teams are aligned, accountable, and producing results.
• Integrating data, interviews, and observations into academic ecosystem reviews that identify the most critical barriers to accelerated learning and recommend targeted interventions.
• Ensuring strategic alignment through planning, feedback mechanisms, and milestone tracking to sustain focus on student learning objectives.
• Serving as the face of 2 Hour Learning at the highest levels, from keynote presentations to engagements with Ministries of Education, advancing systemic change in how education is conceived globally.

• Experimenting with isolated curriculum initiatives without creating systemic impact.
• Publishing theoretical research disconnected from student outcomes or operational execution.
• Outsourcing performance accountability to middle managers or external consultants.
• Depending on institutional reputation or theory to win over skeptical audiences.

Scale and strengthen 2 Hour Learning's validated academic model by unifying execution across schools, raising leadership standards, and serving as the public advocate for a movement grounded in rigorous science and demonstrated results.

• Advanced degree (Master's or Ph.D.) in Learning Science, Educational Psychology, Instructional Design, or a related field.
• 7+ years leading academic or EdTech teams with evidence of exceptional learning outcomes.
• Proven experience applying AI or technology to accelerate learning.
• Track record of public thought leadership such as media, keynotes, books, or advising.
• Strong performance management skills with the ability to hold elite peers to a high bar.
• Fluent in interpreting data to diagnose learning issues and direct interventions.
• Comfortable engaging directly with students, parents, and school leaders.

• Founded or led an innovative school model, lab school, or high‑performing EdTech venture.
• Experience navigating cultural, political, or international education contexts.
• Deep familiarity with Bloom's 2 Sigma research and other mastery learning frameworks.

Education is broken, but 2 Hour Learning is proving it doesn’t have to be. They’re tearing down the outdated one‑size‑fits‑all model and replacing it with AI‑driven personalized learning that helps kids master academics in just two hours a day.
