Base pay range: $200.00/hr - $200.00/hr. You have shaped a compelling academic vision and taken full ownership of its outcomes. You have led decisively, not from the sidelines. When it comes to the science of learning, you are not experimenting—you have built something tangible, produced results that validate your approach, and earned the credibility to present that work publicly. If this describes you, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its academic leader. At 2 Hour Learning, we have developed a system in which students achieve learning outcomes twice as quickly, in just two hours per day. This is made possible by AI-driven tutoring, mastery-based progression, and a fundamental break from traditional classroom design. The impact is measurable and significant. We now need a leader who can harmonize execution across varied school environments, elevate the standard of academic leadership, and serve as the public advocate for a movement anchored in sound learning science. This is not a position focused on theory. It is a mandate for leadership in action. You will take ownership of academic strategy as it is applied, establish rigorous standards, surface execution shortfalls, and mentor high-performing teams to achieve measurable results. You will convert our research-based foundations into operational excellence and articulate the rationale for this model to external audiences. What You Will Be Doing Developing academic frameworks that convert learning science principles into actionable guidance for curriculum design, motivational architecture, and application development. Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure school teams remain aligned, accountable, and effective in delivering outcomes. Integrating data, stakeholder interviews, and direct observation into comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that identify the most impactful barriers to accelerated learning and recommend targeted interventions. Ensuring strategic alignment through structured planning, continuous feedback mechanisms, and milestone management to sustain focus on student learning objectives. Serving as the public face of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile forums, including keynote presentations and engagements with Ministries of Education, advancing global discourse on educational transformation. What You Won’t Be Doing Engaging in isolated curriculum initiatives that do not result in system-wide impact. Producing theoretical research disconnected from measurable student outcomes or operational implementation. Transferring accountability for performance to mid-level managers or external advisors. Depending on institutional reputation or abstract frameworks to influence critical stakeholders.
