Director of Learning Strategy
You have shaped a clear academic vision and taken full ownership of its results. You have led from the forefront, not from the sidelines. When it comes to learning science, you have moved beyond experimentation—you have built proven systems, delivered measurable impact, and earned the authority to share that story publicly. If this describes you, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its academic leader.
At 2 Hour Learning, we have developed a model enabling students to learn at twice the speed in only two hours per day. This is achieved through AI-powered tutoring, mastery-based advancement, and a fundamental break from traditional classroom formats. The outcomes speak for themselves. We now need a leader who can standardize execution across varied school environments, elevate academic leadership quality, and serve as the public advocate for a movement rooted in evidence-based learning science.
This role is not about theoretical frameworks. It is a leadership directive. You will control academic strategy in action, establish rigorous standards, surface implementation shortfalls, and guide elite teams toward concrete results. You will convert our scientific underpinnings into operational rigor and champion this approach on a global stage.
What You Will Be Doing
- Developing academic structures that convert learning science principles into actionable direction for curriculum design, student engagement systems, and application architecture.
- Conducting academic execution assessments with Heads of Academics to confirm school teams operate with alignment, accountability, and measurable success.
- Integrating data analysis, stakeholder interviews, and direct observation into comprehensive academic evaluations that identify the most critical obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend targeted solutions.
- Ensuring strategic cohesion through structured planning, continuous feedback mechanisms, and progress benchmarking to sustain focus on learning objectives.
- Serving as the public representative of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile forums, including keynote presentations and engagements with national education authorities, to influence global perspectives on schooling.
