Date: 15 hours ago
Contract type: Full time
Remote

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
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
Education is broken, but 2 Hour Learning is proving it doesn’t have to be. They’re tearing down the outdated one-size-fits-all model and replacing it with AI-driven personalized learning that helps kids master academics in just two hours a day.
With students consistently ranking in the top 1-2% nationally and the top 20% achieving an astonishing 6.5x growth, they’re proving that smarter learning is possible. At 2 Hour Learning, it’s talent and performance that matter.
They offer a dynamic, on-campus and remote-friendly environment where innovators, educators, and AI specialists can be a part of fixing a broken school system.
2 Hour Learning is reprogramming learning for the AI era.
Here’s How They’re Fixing It.
