Description
If you've ever crafted a daring academic vision and been at the forefront of its success, we want you at 2 Hour Learning. Here, we redefine education with a groundbreaking model where students excel in just two hours daily. Harnessing AI tutors and mastery-based progression, we challenge the conventional classroom, and we're in search of a leader who can steer this vision, elevate academic leadership, and serve as the movement's ambassador.
This isn't about theoretical musings; it's a call to action.

- Fostering strategic alignment through meticulous planning, feedback loops, and milestone tracking to keep student learning goals in sharp focus.
- Representing 2 Hour Learning on global stages, from keynote speeches to meetings with Ministries of Education, advocating for a paradigm shift in educational philosophy.
What you will NOT be doing
- Engaging in isolated curriculum projects without influencing systemic change.
- Producing abstract research disconnected from student outcomes or practical implementation.
- Passing performance accountability to middle managers or external consultants.
- Relying solely on brand prestige or theoretical arguments to convince skeptical stakeholders.
