Description

Are you prepared to harness AI's power to transform student outcomes?

At 2 Hour Learning, we don't simply integrate AI—we've woven it into the fabric of everything we do. We have rebuilt the educational experience from first principles, leveraging AI and advances in learning science to transcend the limitations of the conventional school day. The outcome? Students who consistently exceed expectations.

Our results speak for themselves: learners on our platform regularly earn 4s and 5s on five or more AP exams, post over two years of growth on annual MAP assessments, and surpass their own beliefs about what they can accomplish. If you are motivated by the chance to generate transformative impact at scale, 2 Hour Learning is your destination.

You will function as the principal architect of our groundbreaking learning ecosystem for your assigned school model, encompassing multiple campuses. Driven by a steadfast dedication to student success, you will leverage the limitless capabilities of AI to design hyper-personalized learning pathways that respond to each student's distinct needs, interests, and goals.

Your position will combine data-informed strategy with direct engagement. You will analyze learning data in depth, extracting critical insights to accelerate exponential growth. Yet you won't remain behind the scenes—you will interact directly with students to grasp their experiences, obstacles, and victories. This direct insight will prove essential as you identify the precise motivational drivers and instructional methods to break through achievement barriers across all campuses.

You will lead a talented team of learning engineers, data scientists, and instructional innovators to realize your vision. More crucially, you will advocate for our students, guaranteeing that every choice, every innovation, and every tactic is squarely aimed at elevating their learning results.

This represents a rare opportunity to deploy AI in education and fundamentally reshape what is achievable. Equipped with the forecasting capabilities of sophisticated learning analytics, the capacity to A/B test instructional hypotheses at scale, and organizational support to challenge conventions, you will forge new pathways every day.

Your scope is expansive, your resources unmatched, and your mandate essential. At 2 Hour Learning, we aren't merely applying AI to raise test scores—we're releasing the complete capacity of human potential, entirely without traditional classroom teachers.

If you are ready to apply the most transformative technology of our era to revolutionize the most fundamental component of our society, now is the time. Bold vision, disciplined execution, and an unwavering focus on student results are essential. Those committed to preserving the status quo should not apply.

Join us at the forefront of the AI transformation in education. Together, we will not simply anticipate the future of learning—we will build it.

What you will be doing

  • Designing and iteratively refining an AI-powered learning ecosystem that demonstrably exceeds traditional education, validated by concrete improvements in student achievement metrics
  • Interacting directly with students via virtual channels to comprehend their learning journeys, obstacles, and achievements, applying these insights to enhance the learning ecosystem continuously
  • Analyzing learning platform data to identify actionable insights and create high-impact academic interventions using AI/ML, learning science, and evidence-based motivational strategies
  • Fostering a culture of ambitious experimentation and data-informed decision-making, utilizing analytics to achieve breakthrough improvements in student growth trajectories
  • Collaborating with platform engineering, data science, and design teams to convert academic insights and student input into fluid product improvements

What you will NOT be doing

  • Wrapping traditional education in AI packaging. This is not about transferring classroom teaching to digital screens—we are fundamentally redesigning learning from first principles.
  • Working with data in a vacuum. You will regularly interact with K-12 students, treating their feedback as critical input from our primary customers.
  • Seeking unanimous approval before taking risks. You will advocate for a visionary approach and mobilize others through data-backed outcomes.
  • Adhering to established methods. You will have the freedom to test novel approaches to motivation, assessment, and pedagogy.
  • Viewing AI's role in education with apprehension. Here, you will embrace AI as a powerful catalyst for transforming learning, not as a challenge to be managed.

Key responsibilities

Lead innovation in AI-enabled, teacher-less education to achieve outstanding student results across multiple campuses. Integrate data analysis with consistent student interaction to continuously refine our learning ecosystem, evaluated by AP exam scores and MAP assessment growth.
