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

The information below covers the role requirements, expected candidate experience, and accompanying qualifications. 2 Hour Learning is seeking an academic leader to unify execution across diverse school models, raise the bar on academic leadership, and serve as the external voice of a movement grounded in rigorous learning science.

Overview At 2 Hour Learning, we have engineered a model where students learn twice as fast in just two hours a day through AI tutors, mastery-based progression, and a departure from conventional classroom structures. This is a leadership mandate rather than 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.

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 the highest levels, from keynote stages to sessions with Ministries of Education, driving 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.
