Key responsibilities

Scale and elevate 2 Hour Learning’s proven academic model by unifying execution across schools, strengthening leadership standards, and becoming the public voice of a movement grounded in rigorous science and real-world results.

Description

You’ve defined a bold academic vision before and owned the outcomes. You’ve led from the front, not from behind the scenes. And 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. If this sounds like you, 2 Hour Learning is looking for its academic north star.

At 2 Hour Learning, we’ve engineered a model where students learn twice as fast in just two hours a day. AI tutors, mastery-based progression, and a radical departure from conventional classroom structures drive these outcomes. The results are exceptional. Now we’re looking for a leader who can unify execution across diverse school models, raise the bar on academic leadership, and become the external voice of a movement grounded in rigorous learning science.

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

Candidate requirements

  • 7+ years in academic, EdTech, curriculum, learning product, or education leadership roles, with direct responsibility for measurable results across multiple teams, subjects, programs, or school models.
  • Experience directly managing managers or senior academic or product leaders, including setting standards, giving direct feedback, running performance-correction plans, and making difficult talent decisions.
  • A track record of improving academic, curriculum, student-outcome, or learning-product performance through clear operating standards, strong judgment, and disciplined execution.
  • Strong AI fluency, including direct, hands-on experience building or shipping AI-enabled workflows, content, or products rather than only overseeing teams that use AI.
  • An advanced degree in education, learning science, educational leadership, curriculum, cognitive science, or a related field is preferred; exceptional leadership and academic or product execution can substitute when it demonstrates equivalent intellectual rigor.
  • The ability to combine academic judgment, cross-subject diagnosis, AI-first execution, and performance management to raise the standard of senior academic leaders.

IMPACT

Create technology that shapes the future of education

2 Hour Learning helps students master academics faster while changing the role of adults in the room. Instead of spending their best energy on grading, lesson planning, and one-size-fits-all instruction, teachers can focus on motivation, emotional support, life skills, and helping students become more independent learners.

  • Help students learn faster: Work on proven technology that supports 2x faster academic progress in focused learning blocks -and achieves top 1-2% test results nationally across all subjects.
  • Give teachers more meaningful work: Support a model that frees educators from repetitive academic delivery so they can coach, mentor, and motivate students.
  • Make school more useful for life: Help create more time for skills like independence, collaboration, communication, leadership and confidence.

For edtech applicants, this is the kind of progress you can see - students move faster, teachers do more human work, and the school day opens up for what students need next.

Shape new technology that gives learning its human edge.
