Director of Academic Excellence, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000/year USD Base pay range

$200.00/hr - $200.00/hr

You've defined a bold academic vision before and owned the outcomes. You've led from the front, not from behind the scenes. When it comes to learning science, you’re not dabbling. You’ve built something real, driven results that prove it works, and earned the right to stand on stage and tell the story. 2 Hour Learning is looking for its academic north star to unify execution across diverse school models and raise the bar on academic leadership.

2 Hour Learning has engineered a model where students learn twice as fast in just two hours a day. AI tutors, mastery-based progression, and a departure from conventional classroom structures drive these outcomes. The leader will translate scientific foundations into operational discipline and advocate for this model with stakeholders worldwide.

This is a leadership mandate, not merely an academic theory role. You will own the academic strategy in practice, set clear standards, identify execution gaps, and coach top-tier teams to deliver real outcomes. You’ll translate scientific foundations into actionable operations and make the case for this model to the world.

What You Will Be Doing

Creating academic frameworks that translate learning science into practical guidance for curriculum, motivation systems, and app design.

Leading academic execution reviews across Heads of Academics to ensure school teams are aligned, accountable, and delivering results.

Synthesizing data, interviews, and observation into academic ecosystem reviews that spotlight the highest-leverage barriers to accelerated learning and propose actionable interventions.

Driving strategic alignment through planning, feedback loops, and milestone tracking to maintain focus on student learning goals.

Representing 2 Hour Learning at high levels, including keynote stages and sessions with Ministries of Education, to drive systemic change in how the world thinks about school.

What You Won’t Be Doing

Tinkering with isolated curriculum projects without driving systemic change.

Publishing abstract research with no line of sight to student results or execution.

Delegating performance accountability to middle managers or consultants.

Relying on brand reputation or theory to persuade skeptical stakeholders.
