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 owned bold academic outcomes, not just proposed them. You've led visibly, driven measurable impact, and grounded your work in learning science that delivers. You've built systems that prove their value and earned credibility to represent that work publicly. If that describes your leadership, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its academic north star.
2 Hour Learning has developed a model enabling students to learn at double the pace in two hours daily. The approach relies on AI-driven tutoring, mastery-based progression, and a fundamental rethinking of traditional classroom design. Results speak for themselves. Now we need a leader to drive execution consistency across varied school contexts, elevate academic leadership standards, and serve as the authoritative external voice for a movement built on rigorous learning science.
This role is not theoretical. It is a leadership mandate. You will own academic strategy in operation, define clear performance standards, surface execution gaps, and coach elite teams toward tangible outcomes. You will transform our scientific foundations into operational rigor and articulate the case for this model to external audiences.
What you will be doing
- Developing academic frameworks that convert learning science into actionable guidance for curriculum design, motivation architecture, and application interfaces.
- Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure alignment, accountability, and measurable progress across school teams.
- Synthesizing observation, interviews, and data into comprehensive academic ecosystem reviews that identify high-leverage barriers to accelerated learning and recommend specific interventions.
- Ensuring strategic alignment via planning cycles, feedback mechanisms, and milestone monitoring to sustain focus on student learning objectives.
- Serving as the external face of 2 Hour Learning at keynote events, ministerial sessions, and high-stakes forums, influencing global perspectives on school design.
What you will NOT be doing
- Working on isolated curriculum initiatives without systemic impact.
- Producing theoretical research disconnected from student outcomes or operational execution.
- Deferring performance accountability to middle management or external consultants.
- Leaning on institutional brand or academic theory to convince skeptical audiences.
Key responsibilities
Scale and strengthen 2 Hour Learning's validated academic model by driving execution consistency across schools, raising leadership performance standards, and serving as the authoritative public advocate for a movement built on rigorous science and demonstrated results.
Candidate requirements
- Advanced degree (Master's or Ph.D.) in Learning Science, Educational Psychology, Instructional Design, or a related field
- 7+ years leading academic or EdTech teams with evidence of exceptional learning outcomes
- Proven experience applying AI or technology to accelerate learning
- Track record of public thought leadership such as media, keynotes, books, or advising
- Strong performance management skills with the ability to hold elite peers to a high bar
- Fluent in interpreting data to diagnose learning issues and direct interventions
- Comfortable engaging directly with students, parents, and school leaders
Nice to have
- Founded or led an innovative school model, lab school, or high-performing EdTech venture
- Experience navigating cultural, political, or international education contexts
- Deep familiarity with Bloom's 2 Sigma research and other mastery learning frameworks
