Description

Are you prepared to harness AI's power to transform student outcomes?

2 Hour Learning has woven AI into the fabric of our organization—it's not an add-on, but our foundation. We have rebuilt the educational experience from scratch, combining AI with advances in learning science to break free from traditional schooling constraints. The outcome? Students who consistently exceed expectations.

Our results speak for themselves: learners on our platform routinely score 4s and 5s on five or more AP exams, show more than two years of progress on annual MAP assessments, and surpass their own assumptions about what they can accomplish. If you are driven by the prospect of delivering transformational impact at scale, 2 Hour Learning is your destination.

As the lead architect of our groundbreaking learning ecosystem for your assigned school model—spanning multiple campuses—you will channel an absolute dedication to student success. You'll leverage AI's limitless capacity to design hyper-personalized learning pathways that respond to each student's distinct needs, interests, and goals.

Your position combines data-informed strategy with direct involvement. You'll immerse yourself in learning analytics, extracting critical insights to accelerate exponential progress. Yet you won't remain behind the scenes analyzing metrics—you'll engage on the ground with students to grasp their experiences, obstacles, and victories. This direct insight will prove essential as you identify the precise motivational drivers and teaching methods needed to break through achievement barriers across every campus.

You will lead a talented team of learning engineers, data scientists, and instructional pioneers to execute your strategic vision. More crucially, you'll advocate relentlessly for our students, guaranteeing that every choice, innovation, and approach centers on elevating their learning results.

This represents a rare opportunity to deploy AI in education and completely reimagine the possible. Equipped with advanced learning analytics' predictive capabilities, the capacity to run pedagogical A/B tests at scale, and organizational support to challenge conventions, you'll pioneer new approaches daily.

Your scope is expansive, your resources exceptional, and your mandate essential. At 2 Hour Learning, we're not simply using AI to improve test scores—we're releasing the complete potential of human capability, entirely without traditional classroom instructors.

If you are ready to apply the most transformative technology of our era to reshape society's most fundamental institution, your time is now. Bold vision, disciplined implementation, and unwavering dedication to student achievement are essential. Those comfortable with conventional approaches should look elsewhere.

Join us at the forefront of education's AI transformation. Together, we won't merely anticipate the future of learning—we'll build it.

What you will be doing

  • Designing and continuously refining an AI-powered learning ecosystem that demonstrably surpasses conventional education, validated by concrete improvements in student performance metrics
  • Interacting directly with students via virtual channels to comprehend their learning journeys, obstacles, and achievements, applying these insights to drive ongoing refinement of the learning ecosystem
  • Analyzing learning platform data to identify actionable insights and create high-impact academic interventions using AI/ML, learning science, and motivational strategies 
  • Fostering a culture of ambitious experimentation and evidence-driven decision-making, utilizing data to achieve breakthrough improvements in student growth patterns
  • Collaborating with platform engineering, data science, and design teams to convert academic insights and student input into fluid product improvements

What you will NOT be doing

  • Wrapping traditional instruction in AI packaging. This isn't about delivering classroom teaching through digital screens – we're rebuilding learning from its foundation.
  • Working with data in a vacuum. You'll regularly interact with K-12 students, treating their feedback as critical input from our customers.
  • Waiting for unanimous approval before innovating. You'll advance a bold vision and mobilize others around measurable outcomes.
  • Adhering to established methods. You'll have the freedom to test novel approaches to motivation, assessment, and teaching. 
  • Viewing AI as a threat to education. In this role, you'll embrace AI as a powerful tool to transform learning, not a risk to manage.

Key responsibilities

Lead innovation in AI-driven, teacher-less education to produce outstanding student results across multiple campuses. Combine data analysis with consistent student interaction to continually optimize our learning ecosystem, measured by AP exam scores and MAP assessment gains.
