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 have previously articulated a compelling academic vision and taken full ownership of its results. You have led visibly and actively, not from a distance. Your work in learning science is substantive—you have created something concrete, produced measurable results that validate its effectiveness, and earned credibility to present that work publicly. If this describes your experience, 2 Hour Learning seeks its academic leader.
2 Hour Learning operates a model in which students achieve learning outcomes at twice the conventional rate within two hours daily. This is made possible through AI-driven tutoring, mastery-based progression, and a fundamental redesign of traditional classroom structures. The outcomes are strong. We now require a leader capable of aligning execution across varied school environments, elevating academic leadership standards, and serving as the public advocate for a model rooted in evidence-based learning science.
This role is not theoretical or advisory. It is a leadership responsibility. You will take ownership of academic strategy in operational terms, establish clear performance benchmarks, diagnose execution weaknesses, and guide high-performing teams to measurable success. You will convert our scientific principles into operational clarity and articulate the rationale for this model to external audiences.
What you will be doing
- Developing academic frameworks that transform learning science into actionable direction for curriculum design, motivational systems, and application architecture.
- Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to maintain alignment, accountability, and outcome delivery across school teams.
- Integrating data, interviews, and direct observation into comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that identify the most critical obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend targeted interventions.
- Ensuring strategic coherence through planning cycles, feedback mechanisms, and milestone monitoring to sustain focus on learning objectives.
- Serving as the public face of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile forums, including keynote presentations and engagements with Ministries of Education, to influence global perspectives on education.
What you will NOT be doing
- Pursuing isolated curriculum initiatives that fail to generate systemic impact.
- Producing theoretical research disconnected from measurable student outcomes or operational execution.
- Transferring performance accountability to middle management or external consultants.
- Depending on institutional reputation or theoretical arguments to convince critical stakeholders.
Key responsibilities
Expand and strengthen 2 Hour Learning's validated academic model by harmonizing execution across school sites, raising leadership performance standards, and establishing yourself as the authoritative voice of a movement founded on rigorous science and demonstrated outcomes.
Candidate requirements
- Advanced degree (Masters or Ph.D) in Learning Science, Educational Psychology, Instructional Design, or a related field
- At least 7 years in academic or EdTech leadership roles, leading a team of staff/employees (not an informal peer leader role, such as grade-level lead); you must have been responsible for hiring, monitoring performance, coaching, and making termination decisions
- Experience driving learning outcomes for students and upholding student performance standards
- Experience applying AI or emerging technologies to improve education, such as through personalized learning, adaptive learning, AI agents, etc.
- Experience managing academic teams of 50+ people (e.g., the teams you managed directly executed curriculum, instruction, or assessment)
- Experience interacting directly with students, teachers, or school leaders in a professional setting
