Director of Donor Relations   $400,000 USD/year

Description

If commanding a room of skeptical, high-powered parents and transforming them into passionate advocates for educational revolution ignites your professional spirit, this role demands your attention.

2 Hour Learning is redefining K-12 education by replacing traditional 6-hour school days with 2 hours of AI-powered learning. We need a Director of Donor Relations with unparalleled executive presence who can convince accomplished, demanding parents to invest their children's futures in our vision.

You are the rare professional who thrives when stakes are highest—whether presenting to boards, handling media scrutiny, or turning potential critics into your most vocal champions. You understand that resistance isn't an obstacle; it's your opportunity to demonstrate transformative impact. Your career has been built on an exceptional ability to shape narratives, maintain uncompromising standards, and scale advocacy movements that drive systematic change.

What you will be doing

  • Command high-stakes presentations that convert sophisticated skeptics into advocates
  • Build and activate networks of influential parent champions who drive our narrative
  • Design scalable systems that transform individual parent wins into compelling proof points
  • Implement sophisticated feedback mechanisms that capture parent sentiment and convert concerns into advocacy opportunities
  • Lead critical media interactions and shape public narratives around our revolutionary approach
  • Create strategic opportunities to showcase our transformative educational impact

What you will NOT be doing

  • Running traditional parent-teacher associations or school improvement committees
  • Planning social events without strategic advocacy goals
  • Compromising our educational model to accommodate influential parents
  • Taking reactive approaches to concerns instead of proactively shaping narratives

Key responsibilities

Transform our parent community into our most powerful advocacy engine by building systematic approaches that scale parent champions across campuses while maintaining our uncompromising commitment to educational excellence.

Candidate requirements

  • Must be based in or willing to relocate to Austin, TX
  • 7+ years converting influential stakeholders into advocates (e.g., Head of Customer Advocacy, Chief Communications Officer, Chief Development Officer, VP of Enterprise Sales)
  • Exceptional executive presence with proven ability to command sophisticated audiences
  • Track record of success in high-stakes communications (media appearances, board presentations, crisis management)
  • Demonstrated success building and scaling advocacy communities from inception
  • Proven ability to uphold policies with powerful stakeholders while strengthening relationships
  • Deep conviction that transforming education requires unwavering commitment to innovative methods

What you will learn

While we need your proven expertise in building influential communities and navigating complex stakeholder relationships, you'll be applying these skills at the bleeding edge of educational transformation. You'll help pioneer how AI revolutionizes K-12 education, shape how parents and educators reimagine learning, and be at the forefront of the most significant change in education delivery since the invention of the classroom. If you're excited by working at the intersection of transformative technology and educational excellence, you'll get to write the playbook for how forward-thinking schools build parent advocacy in the AI age.

Work examples

The potential impact of this role is best illustrated through what success will look like:

After a challenging meeting with an accomplished CEO parent questioning our unconventional schedule, you not only address concerns but transform her into one of our most vocal champions—now hosting dinner parties where she convinces other skeptical parents to embrace our approach.

When concerned parents create a discussion group about AI's role in education, you proactively develop a compelling presentation incorporating success stories and research data, delivering it with such command that it becomes widely shared, converting a potential crisis into a powerful advocacy moment.

Your systematic approach to parent engagement builds advocacy networks across every grade level. When prospective families tour our school, they meet with current parents who articulately champion our model. Your effective systems enable parents to independently organize information sessions in their communities.

Most importantly, you transform parent concerns into opportunities to strengthen conviction in our model. Your executive presence and strategic approach build a movement of parents who are betting their children's futures on our educational revolution.

Success means creating communities where parents become our most powerful advocates because they've witnessed what's possible when education is revolutionized—not just accepting our approach but championing it to their networks.
