Director of Learning Strategy, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000/year USD at Crossover

You've set a clear academic vision and taken full ownership of the results. You've led visibly, not from the sidelines. And when it comes to learning science, you're not experimenting—you've built proven systems, delivered outcomes that validate your approach, and earned the credibility to share your work publicly. If this describes you, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its academic leader.

At 2 Hour Learning, we've designed a system in which students achieve twice the learning in just two hours per day. Mastery-based progression, AI-driven tutoring, and a fundamental rethinking of traditional classroom design power these results. The outcomes speak for themselves. We're now searching for a leader who can harmonize execution across varied school environments, elevate academic leadership standards, and serve as the public advocate for a movement rooted in robust learning science.

This is not a role focused on abstract academic inquiry. It's a leadership charge. You'll take ownership of academic strategy in action, establish clear benchmarks, surface execution shortfalls, and develop high-performing teams to produce measurable impact. You'll convert our scientific principles into operational rigor and articulate the case for this model globally.

What You Will Be Doing

• Developing academic structures that convert learning science into actionable direction for curriculum development, motivation frameworks, and application design.
• Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure school teams remain aligned, accountable, and outcome-focused.
• Integrating data, stakeholder interviews, and direct observation into comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that identify the most critical obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend targeted actions.
• Ensuring strategic coherence through structured planning, continuous feedback, and milestone management to sustain focus on student learning objectives.
• Serving as the public face of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile settings—from keynote presentations to engagements with Ministries of Education—to influence how education systems worldwide understand schooling.
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Working on isolated curriculum initiatives that fail to produce system-wide impact.
• Producing theoretical research disconnected from student outcomes or operational execution.
• Transferring accountability for performance to mid-level managers or external consultants.
• Depending on institutional reputation or conceptual arguments to win over critical audiences.
