Description

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

2 Hour Learning has embedded AI at the core of our mission. We have fundamentally rebuilt the learning experience, integrating breakthroughs in AI and learning science to transcend the limitations of conventional schooling. The outcome? Students who consistently exceed expectations.

Our results speak for themselves: learners on our platform routinely earn 4s and 5s on five or more AP exams, show over two years of growth on annual MAP assessments, and surpass their own aspirations. If you are driven by the prospect of delivering exceptional outcomes at scale, 2 Hour Learning is your destination.

You will act as the principal designer of our transformative learning ecosystem for your assigned school model, spanning multiple campus locations. Guided by an unshakable dedication to student success, you will leverage AI's limitless capacity to design hyper-personalized learning pathways tailored to each student's distinct needs, interests, and goals.

Your position will marry data-informed strategy with direct student engagement. You will examine learning analytics deeply, extracting critical insights to accelerate exponential progress. Yet you won't remain distant—you'll work on the ground with students, gaining direct understanding of their experiences, obstacles, and victories. This direct insight will prove essential as you identify the precise motivational triggers and instructional methods needed to break achievement barriers across every campus.

You will lead a talented team of learning engineers, data scientists, and instructional pioneers to execute your vision. More crucially, you will advocate for our students, guaranteeing that every choice, innovation, and tactic remains sharply focused on elevating their educational outcomes.

This represents a rare opportunity to deploy AI in education and radically reshape what's achievable. Equipped with advanced learning analytics, the capacity to test pedagogical theories at scale, and organizational support to innovate boldly, you'll forge new ground every day.

Your scope is expansive, your resources unmatched, and your objective vital. At 2 Hour Learning, we're not simply using AI to raise test scores—we're activating the complete potential of every learner, entirely without conventional classroom teachers.

If you're prepared to apply the most transformative technology of our era to the most fundamental pillar of society, now is the time. Bold vision, disciplined execution, and relentless focus on student success are essential. Those comfortable with the status quo should look elsewhere.

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

What you will be doing

  • Designing and refining an AI-powered learning ecosystem that demonstrably exceeds traditional education outcomes, supported by concrete improvements in student performance metrics
  • Interacting directly with students via virtual channels to gain insight into their learning journeys, obstacles, and achievements, applying these findings to drive ongoing ecosystem refinement
  • Analyzing platform data to identify actionable patterns and develop high-impact academic strategies using AI/ML, learning science, and proven motivational techniques 
  • Cultivating a culture of ambitious experimentation and evidence-driven decision-making, leveraging analytics to generate breakthrough improvements in student growth
  • Collaborating with platform engineering, data science, and design teams to convert academic findings and student input into streamlined product improvements

What you will NOT be doing

  • Wrapping traditional teaching methods in AI packaging. This role is not about digitizing classroom instruction – we are reimagining the entire learning model from first principles.
  • Working solely from data reports. You will regularly interact with K-12 students, treating their perspectives as critical feedback from our primary customers.
  • Waiting for broad agreement before innovating. You will drive a compelling vision and mobilize teams around measurable outcomes.
  • Defaulting to established practices. You will have freedom to test novel strategies for engagement, evaluation, and pedagogy. 
  • Viewing AI as a threat to education. In this role, you will embrace AI as a powerful enabler of learning transformation, not a risk to be contained.

Key responsibilities

Lead innovation in AI-enabled, teacher-free education to achieve outstanding student results across multiple campus sites. Combine data analysis with consistent student interaction to systematically improve our learning ecosystem, measured through AP exam scores and MAP assessment growth.

Candidate requirements

  • Master's degree or higher in Educational Science, Learning Science, Psychology, Psychometrics, Instructional Design, or a related field
  • Leadership experience in education or EdTech
  • Experience applying AI technologies in an educational or professional context
  • Experience designing and implementing AI systems for tasks such as content generation, data analysis, or adaptive learning
  • Strong understanding of learning science principles and data-driven educational approaches
  • Proven ability to communicate complex educational and technical concepts to diverse audiences
  • Experience leading cross-functional teams and managing complex projects
