Description

Are you prepared to harness AI's power to transform how students achieve?

2 Hour Learning has embedded AI into every layer of our organization—not as an add-on, but as our foundation. We have rebuilt the entire learning model from scratch, combining artificial intelligence with breakthroughs in learning science to transcend the limits of conventional schooling. The outcome? Students who consistently exceed expectations.

Our results speak for themselves: learners on our platform routinely earn 4s and 5s on five or more AP exams, exhibit over two years of growth on annual MAP assessments, and exceed their own definitions of success. If the prospect of delivering transformative outcomes at massive scale excites you, 2 Hour Learning is your destination.

You will function as the lead architect of our groundbreaking learning ecosystem for your assigned school model, overseeing multiple campus locations. Driven by a relentless focus on student success, you will leverage AI's limitless capabilities to design hyper-personalized learning pathways tailored to each student's distinct needs, passions, and goals.

Your position will combine data-driven strategy with direct, hands-on involvement. You will explore learning analytics in depth, extracting critical insights to fuel exponential progress. Yet you won't remain behind a desk analyzing spreadsheets—you'll engage on the ground, collaborating directly with students to grasp their experiences, obstacles, and victories. This direct engagement will prove essential as you identify the precise motivational triggers and instructional methods needed to break through achievement barriers across every campus.

You will lead a high-performing team of learning engineers, data scientists, and instructional innovators to execute your vision. More crucially, you will advocate tirelessly for our students, guaranteeing that every choice, every breakthrough, and every tactic centers on elevating their educational results.

This represents a rare opportunity to deploy AI in education and fundamentally reshape the realm of possibility. Equipped with predictive learning analytics, the capability to A/B test instructional theories at scale, and organizational support to challenge conventions, you will pioneer new approaches daily.

Your scope is expansive, your resources unmatched, and your purpose vital. At 2 Hour Learning, we're not simply applying AI to improve test scores—we're releasing the complete potential of human capability, entirely without traditional classroom teachers.

If you are ready to leverage the most transformative technology of our era to reshape society's most fundamental institution, your time is now. Bold vision, disciplined execution, and absolute dedication to student success are essential. Those content with the status quo should look elsewhere.

Join us at the forefront of education's AI revolution. Together, we will not merely anticipate the future of learning—we will 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 enhancement of the learning ecosystem
  • Extracting actionable intelligence from learning platform data and engineering high-impact academic interventions using AI/ML, learning science, and evidence-based motivational strategies 
  • Cultivating a culture of fearless experimentation and data-informed decision-making, utilizing analytics to achieve breakthrough gains in student growth patterns
  • Collaborating with platform engineering, data science, and design teams to convert academic insights and student input into frictionless product improvements

What you will NOT be doing

  • Wrapping traditional education methods in AI packaging. This is not about digitizing classroom teaching – we are fundamentally rethinking learning from first principles.
  • Working with data in a vacuum. You will be required to interact regularly with K-12 students, treating their feedback as critical input from our primary customers.
  • Waiting for unanimous agreement before innovating. You will advance a bold agenda and mobilize stakeholders around measurable outcomes.
  • Defaulting to established practices. You will have the freedom to test novel approaches to motivation, assessment, and pedagogy. 
  • Viewing AI as a threat to education. In this role, you will embrace AI as a powerful enabler of learning transformation, not as a risk to manage.

Key responsibilities

Lead innovation in AI-driven, teacher-less education to achieve outstanding student outcomes across multiple campuses. Integrate data analytics with consistent student interaction to continuously refine our learning ecosystem, evaluated through AP exam results and MAP assessment growth.
