Director of Academic Excellence   $400,000 USD/year

Description

Ready to revolutionize education? We're seeking a visionary leader who's already proven they can transform academic outcomes through innovative learning models. At 2 Hour Learning, we've cracked the code on accelerated learning - our students achieve twice the results in just two hours daily through AI-powered tutoring and mastery-based progression.

This isn't just another educational leadership position. We're looking for our academic lighthouse - someone who can translate groundbreaking learning science into tangible results across multiple school models. If you've built successful educational programs, driven measurable outcomes, and can articulate a compelling vision for the future of learning, we want to talk.

As our Director of Academic Excellence, you'll be the driving force behind our educational revolution, turning scientific principles into practical success stories. This role demands someone who can both architect academic strategy and roll up their sleeves to ensure flawless execution.

What you will be doing

  • Design and implement cutting-edge academic frameworks that bridge the gap between learning science theory and classroom reality
  • Orchestrate regular performance reviews with academic leaders, ensuring accountability and excellence across all school implementations
  • Conduct deep-dive analyses of our learning ecosystem, identifying optimization opportunities and implementing data-driven solutions
  • Spearhead strategic planning and execution to keep all stakeholders laser-focused on accelerated learning outcomes
  • Be the face and voice of 2 Hour Learning's educational revolution, from international conferences to government partnerships

What you will NOT be doing

  • Getting lost in isolated curriculum experiments that don't scale
  • Producing theoretical research papers that gather dust on shelves
  • Avoiding direct accountability by creating layers of management
  • Making empty promises without backing them up with concrete results

Key responsibilities

Champion and expand 2 Hour Learning's revolutionary academic approach by harmonizing implementation across diverse school environments, establishing world-class leadership benchmarks, and serving as the authoritative voice for our evidence-based educational transformation.

Candidate requirements

  • Master's or Ph.D. in Learning Science, Educational Psychology, Instructional Design, or related discipline
  • Demonstrated 7+ year track record of leading high-performing academic or EdTech teams to exceptional results
  • Substantial experience leveraging AI and technology to enhance learning outcomes
  • Established thought leadership presence through speaking engagements, publications, or advisory roles
  • Expert-level performance management capabilities with a commitment to excellence
  • Advanced proficiency in data analysis and learning diagnostics
  • Natural ability to connect with and influence diverse educational stakeholders

Nice to have

  • Leadership experience in founding or directing an innovative educational institution or EdTech startup
  • Proven success in diverse educational environments across cultural and geographical boundaries
  • Expert knowledge of mastery learning principles and Bloom's 2 Sigma research
