Director of Learning Science, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) – $400,000/year USD
Base Pay Range
$200.00/hr - $200.00/hr
Job Overview You've owned a clear academic vision and delivered measurable outcomes. You've led teams directly, not from a distance. And in learning science, you haven't experimented—you've built proven systems, achieved results that validate your approach, and earned credibility to present that work publicly. If that describes your experience, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its chief academic leader. At 2 Hour Learning, we've developed a system enabling students to learn at double the pace in only two hours per day. AI‑powered tutoring, mastery‑based learning paths, and a fundamental shift away from traditional classroom design produce these results. The outcomes speak for themselves. Now we need a leader who can align execution across multiple school environments, strengthen academic leadership standards, and serve as the outward‑facing voice of a movement rooted in evidence‑based learning science. This is not a role in theoretical research. It's an operational leadership position. You'll define academic strategy in action, establish performance standards, surface execution shortfalls, and guide high‑performing teams toward concrete results. You'll convert our scientific principles into operational rigor and champion this model to external audiences.
What You Will Be Doing
Developing academic frameworks that transform learning science principles into actionable direction for curriculum design, student motivation systems, and application architecture.
Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure school teams maintain alignment, accountability, and performance.
Analyzing data, stakeholder interviews, and field observations to produce academic ecosystem assessments that identify critical barriers to accelerated learning and recommend targeted interventions.
Ensuring strategic coherence through structured planning, continuous feedback mechanisms, and milestone oversight to sustain focus on student learning objectives.
Serving as the principal representative of 2 Hour Learning in high‑level forums, including keynote presentations and meetings with Ministries of Education, to influence global thinking on education systems.
What You Won’t Be Doing
Engaging in isolated curriculum initiatives that fail to generate systemic impact.
Producing theoretical research disconnected from measurable student outcomes or operational implementation.
Transferring accountability for results to mid‑level managers or external advisors.
Depending on institutional reputation or conceptual arguments to convince critical audiences.
Director Of Learning Science Key Responsibilities Expand and strengthen 2 Hour Learning's validated academic framework by aligning execution across all schools, raising leadership performance expectations, and establishing yourself as the authoritative public advocate for a movement founded on rigorous science and demonstrated outcomes.
Basic Requirements
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
Nice‑to‑have Requirements
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
About 2 Hour Learning 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.
With students consistently ranking in the top 1‑2% nationally and the top 20% achieving an astonishing 6.5x growth, they’re proving that smarter learning is possible. At 2 Hour Learning, it’s talent and performance that matter.
They offer a dynamic, on‑campus and remote‑friendly environment where innovators, educators, and AI specialists can be a part of fixing a broken school system.
2 Hour Learning is reprogramming learning for the AI era.
Working with us This is a full‑time (40 hours per week), long‑term position. The position is immediately available and requires entering into an independent contractor agreement with Crossover as a Contractor of Record. The compensation level for this role is $200 USD/hour, which equates to $400,000 USD/year assuming 40 hours per week and 50 weeks per year. The payment period is weekly.
