Description
Ready to revolutionize education? We're seeking a visionary academic leader who's already proven they can transform learning outcomes through innovation. If you've got battle-tested experience in learning science, a track record of building and scaling successful educational models, and the charisma to champion transformative change, we want to talk.
At 2 Hour Learning, we've cracked the code on accelerated learning - our students achieve twice the results in just two hours daily through our AI-powered, mastery-based approach. Now we need a strategic powerhouse to take our proven model to the next level and become the face of this educational revolution.
This role isn't about theorizing from the sidelines - it's about leading from the frontlines. You'll be the architect of our academic future, translating cutting-edge learning science into real-world results while inspiring teams, stakeholders, and the broader educational community to reimagine what's possible in education.

- Getting lost in isolated curriculum experiments that don't drive organizational transformation
- Producing theoretical research disconnected from measurable student outcomes
- Avoiding direct accountability by over-delegating performance management
- Making cases based on reputation rather than demonstrated results
