Director of Academic Excellence, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000/year USD

You've articulated a transformative academic vision and taken full ownership of its results. You've led from the forefront, not from the margins. When it comes to the science of learning, you're not experimenting—you've built proven systems, delivered measurable impact, and established the credibility to represent that work publicly.

If this describes your track record, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its chief academic architect.

At 2 Hour Learning, we've developed an instructional model enabling students to learn at twice the rate in only two hours per day. AI-driven tutoring, mastery-oriented progression, and a fundamental rethinking of traditional classroom design produce these results. The outcomes speak for themselves.

We now need a leader who can harmonize execution across varied school environments, elevate academic leadership standards, and serve as the authoritative voice for a movement rooted in evidence-based learning science.

This is not a position for academic theorizing. It's an executive accountability role. You'll direct academic strategy in action, establish explicit performance standards, diagnose implementation shortfalls, and mentor high-caliber teams to achieve tangible results. You'll convert our scientific underpinnings into operational rigor and advocate for this model on a global scale.

What You Will Be Doing

Designing academic structures that transform learning science into actionable direction for curriculum development, student motivation frameworks, and application architecture.

Conducting academic performance reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure school teams remain aligned, accountable, and outcome-focused.

Integrating data analysis, stakeholder interviews, and field observation into comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that identify the most critical obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend concrete interventions.

Ensuring strategic coherence through planning cycles, feedback mechanisms, and progress monitoring to sustain focus on student learning objectives.

Serving as 2 Hour Learning's principal representative at senior forums, including keynote platforms and engagements with Ministries of Education, to influence systemic transformation in global education paradigms.

What You Won’t Be DoingEngaging in isolated curriculum initiatives that lack systemic impact.

Producing theoretical research disconnected from measurable student outcomes or operational execution.

Transferring accountability for performance to mid-level managers or external consultants.

Depending on institutional prestige or conceptual frameworks to convince critical stakeholders.
