Ready to revolutionize education at its core? We're seeking a visionary who doesn't just theorize about educational transformation—but has already proven they can deliver it. At 2 Hour Learning, our students achieve twice the learning in just two hours daily through our AI-powered, mastery-based approach. Now we need the academic architect who will elevate this model to its next evolution.

This role demands someone who has stood at education's frontlines, championed evidence-based innovation, and can point to concrete results that validate their approach. You're not just comfortable challenging educational orthodoxy—you've built alternatives that work better and can articulate why.

As our academic cornerstone, you'll translate cutting-edge learning science into operational excellence across diverse school environments. You won't be theorizing from an ivory tower; you'll be embedding yourself in the messy reality of educational transformation, setting standards, coaching leaders, and becoming the authoritative voice of a movement that's redefining what's possible in education.

What You Will Be Doing

• Architecting practical frameworks that bridge learning science theory and day-to-day implementation in curriculum design, student motivation systems, and educational technology
• Orchestrating rigorous academic performance reviews with Heads of Academics, ensuring alignment, accountability, and measurable student achievement
• Conducting comprehensive ecosystem analyses that integrate quantitative data with qualitative insights to identify critical barriers to learning acceleration
• Spearheading strategic coherence through structured planning processes, robust feedback mechanisms, and disciplined milestone tracking
• Serving as our academic ambassador on global stages—from conference keynotes to ministerial briefings—catalyzing broader educational system change
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Pursuing isolated curriculum experiments disconnected from our systemic transformation goals
• Generating theoretical research without direct application to student outcomes or operational excellence
• Outsourcing accountability for performance to subordinates or external consultants
• Leaning on credentials or theoretical constructs rather than demonstrable results to influence stakeholders
  
  

Director Of Academic Excellence Key Responsibilities

Champion and scale our revolutionary academic model by harmonizing implementation across diverse school environments, elevating leadership capabilities, and becoming the compelling public voice of an educational movement founded on scientific rigor and demonstrated success.

Basic Requirements

• Master's or Ph.D. in Learning Science, Educational Psychology, Instructional Design or related discipline
• Minimum 7 years spearheading academic or EdTech initiatives with documented exceptional learning outcomes
• Demonstrated success integrating AI or advanced technology to enhance learning velocity
• Established thought leadership portfolio including media appearances, keynote presentations, publications, or advisory roles
• Exceptional talent management capabilities with proven ability to uphold rigorous standards among high-performing peers
• Advanced proficiency in data analysis for learning diagnostics and targeted intervention design
• Demonstrated comfort and effectiveness in direct engagement with educational stakeholders across all levels
  
  

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Entrepreneurial experience founding or directing an innovative educational model, experimental school, or high-impact EdTech venture
• Proven ability to navigate complex cultural, political, or international educational environments
• Specialized knowledge of Bloom's 2 Sigma research and contemporary mastery learning methodologies
