Description
Ready to revolutionize education? We're seeking a visionary academic leader who's not just theorized about accelerated learning - you've made it happen. At 2 Hour Learning, we've cracked the code on helping students learn twice as fast in just two hours daily through AI-powered tutoring and mastery-based progression. Now, we need an educational maverick to take our groundbreaking model to the next level.
If you've got battle-tested experience in transforming bold academic visions into measurable results, can command a room with your expertise in learning science, and have the leadership chops to drive systemic change, we want to talk. This isn't about maintaining the status quo - it's about reshaping how the world thinks about education.
As our academic north star, you'll be the driving force behind our mission to revolutionize learning efficiency. You'll translate cutting-edge science into actionable strategies, lead high-performing teams, and become the authoritative voice of our evidence-based educational movement.
What you will be doing
- Architect and implement powerful academic frameworks that bridge the gap between learning science theory and real-world application
- Orchestrate academic excellence through strategic oversight and performance reviews of our academic leadership team
- Transform complex data and field observations into actionable insights that eliminate barriers to accelerated learning
- Spearhead strategic initiatives that keep our entire ecosystem laser-focused on ambitious student achievement goals
- Champion our revolutionary approach on the global stage, from industry conferences to high-stakes meetings with education policymakers
What you will NOT be doing
- Getting lost in isolated curriculum experiments that don't scale or create lasting impact
- Producing theoretical research papers that gather dust instead of driving real student outcomes
- Avoiding direct accountability by hiding behind organizational layers
- Making empty promises - your credibility will come from proven results, not rhetoric
Key responsibilities
Your mission is three-fold: harmonize our academic execution across diverse school environments, establish and maintain world-class leadership standards, and become the compelling voice of our evidence-based educational revolution. Success means turning our scientifically-proven model into a scalable blueprint for transforming education globally.
Candidate requirements
- Hold an advanced degree (Master's or Ph.D.) in Learning Science, Educational Psychology, Instructional Design, or related discipline
- Demonstrate 7+ years of triumphant leadership in academic or EdTech environments with quantifiable learning improvements
- Show concrete success in leveraging AI/technology to boost learning outcomes
- Maintain an influential presence in educational thought leadership through speaking engagements, publications, or advisory roles
- Excel at performance management with a proven ability to inspire and challenge high-achieving teams
- Master the art of data-driven decision-making in educational contexts
- Possess the versatility to connect effectively with diverse stakeholders from students to school administrators
Nice to have
- Entrepreneurial experience in founding or leading an innovative educational institution or EdTech venture
