Director of Learning Strategy $400,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
You've driven bold academic transformation and delivered measurable results. Your leadership has been visible and direct, not confined to advisory roles. In the field of learning science, your track record is concrete—you've designed impactful systems, demonstrated their effectiveness, and presented those outcomes on public platforms. If this describes your experience, 2 Hour Learning seeks its strategic academic leader.
2 Hour Learning has developed a model enabling students to achieve accelerated learning—twice the pace in two hours daily. This outcome stems from AI-powered tutoring, mastery-based progression, and fundamental redesign of traditional classroom paradigms. The performance data validates the approach. We now require a leader capable of aligning execution across multiple school implementations, elevating academic leadership standards, and articulating this scientifically grounded movement to external audiences.
This position demands operational leadership, not theoretical inquiry. You will direct academic strategy in execution, establish performance standards, diagnose implementation challenges, and develop elite teams toward measurable student outcomes. Your role includes translating our learning science foundation into operational excellence and advocating for this model on the global stage.
What you will be doing
- Developing academic frameworks that convert learning science principles into actionable direction for curriculum design, motivation architecture, and application development.
- Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to secure alignment, accountability, and performance delivery across school teams.
- Integrating data analysis, stakeholder interviews, and direct observation into comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that identify critical barriers to accelerated learning and recommend targeted solutions.
- Establishing strategic coherence through planning cycles, feedback mechanisms, and milestone monitoring to sustain focus on student learning objectives.
- Serving as the principal representative of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile contexts—from conference keynotes to engagements with Ministries of Education—advancing systemic transformation in educational thinking.
What you will NOT be doing
- Engaging in isolated curriculum initiatives that lack systemic impact.
- Producing theoretical research disconnected from student outcomes or operational implementation.
- Transferring performance accountability to mid-level managers or external consultants.
- Depending on institutional reputation or theoretical arguments to convince skeptical audiences.
Key responsibilities
Lead the scaling and advancement of 2 Hour Learning's validated academic model by coordinating execution across school sites, raising leadership performance standards, and establishing yourself as the authoritative voice for a movement founded on rigorous science and demonstrated outcomes.
Candidate requirements
- Advanced degree (Masters or Ph.D) in Learning Science, Educational Psychology, Instructional Design, or a related field
- At least 7 years in academic or EdTech leadership roles, leading a team of staff/employees (not an informal peer leader role, such as grade-level lead); you must have been responsible for hiring, monitoring performance, coaching, and making termination decisions
- Experience driving learning outcomes for students and upholding student performance standards
- Experience applying AI or emerging technologies to improve education, such as through personalized learning, adaptive learning, AI agents, etc.
- Experience managing academic teams of 50+ people (e.g., the teams you managed directly executed curriculum, instruction, or assessment)
- Experience interacting directly with students, teachers, or school leaders in a professional setting
