Director Of Learning Strategy 2 Hour Learning Remote - 400 000 Year USD

You've shaped bold academic strategy before and taken full ownership of the results. You've led decisively, not from the sidelines. And your work in learning science isn't theoretical—you've built systems that deliver measurable outcomes and earned credibility to speak publicly about your impact. If that describes you, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its academic leader.

2 Hour Learning has developed a model enabling students to learn at twice the pace in only two hours per day. Mastery-based progression, AI-driven tutoring, and a fundamental reimagining of classroom norms underpin these results. The performance speaks for itself. We now need a leader who can align execution across varied school environments, elevate academic leadership standards, and serve as the authoritative external voice for a movement rooted in evidence-based learning science.

This role is not about academic abstraction. It's a leadership imperative. You will own academic strategy in action, define clear performance benchmarks, surface execution shortfalls, and coach high-performing teams toward tangible outcomes. You'll convert our scientific underpinnings into operational rigor and advocate for this model on the global stage.

What You Will Be Doing

• Developing academic frameworks that transform learning science into actionable direction for curriculum development, motivational design, and application architecture.
• Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure school teams maintain alignment, accountability, and consistent delivery of results.
• Analyzing data, conducting interviews, and performing observations to produce academic ecosystem assessments that identify the most critical obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend targeted interventions.
• Ensuring strategic alignment by establishing planning rhythms, feedback mechanisms, and milestone tracking that sustain focus on student learning objectives.
• Serving as the principal representative of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile forums, including keynote presentations and engagements with Ministries of Education, to advance systemic change in global education thinking.
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Working on isolated curriculum initiatives that fail to produce systemic impact.
• Producing theoretical research disconnected from student outcomes or operational execution.
• Transferring performance accountability to middle management or external consultants.
• Depending on reputation or abstract theory to convince skeptical audiences.
