Director of Learning Strategy $400,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
You've set a clear academic vision before and delivered measurable outcomes. You've led teams directly, not from a distance. And when it comes to learning science, you're not experimenting—you've built something substantial, produced results that validate it, and earned the credibility to present it publicly. If this describes you, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its academic leader.
At 2 Hour Learning, we've developed a model in which students learn twice as fast in just two hours per day. AI tutors, mastery-based progression, and a fundamental shift away from traditional classroom structures produce these results. The outcomes are exceptional. Now we need a leader who can unify execution across varied school models, elevate academic leadership standards, and serve as the external voice of a movement rooted in rigorous learning science.
This is not a theoretical academic position. It's a leadership imperative. You'll own the academic strategy in execution, establish clear standards, pinpoint gaps in delivery, and coach high-performing teams to achieve tangible outcomes. You'll convert our scientific foundations into operational discipline and advocate for this model globally.
What you will be doing
- Developing academic frameworks that convert learning science into actionable guidance for curriculum, motivation systems, and app design.
- Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure school teams are aligned, accountable, and producing results.
- Analyzing data, interviews, and observation into academic ecosystem reviews that identify the highest-impact barriers to accelerated learning and recommend concrete interventions.
- Ensuring strategic alignment through planning, feedback loops, and milestone tracking to sustain focus on student learning objectives.
- Serving as the face of 2 Hour Learning at the highest levels, from keynote stages to meetings with Ministries of Education, advancing systemic change in how the world approaches schooling.
What you will NOT be doing
- Working on isolated curriculum projects without driving systemic change.
- Producing abstract research with no connection to student results or execution.
- Delegating performance accountability to middle managers or consultants.
- Relying on brand reputation or theory to convince skeptical stakeholders.
Key responsibilities
Scale and strengthen 2 Hour Learning's proven academic model by unifying execution across schools, raising leadership standards, and serving as the public voice of a movement grounded in rigorous science and measurable results.

- Strong performance management skills with the ability to hold elite peers to a high bar
