Role Overview

  • 2 Hour Learning seeks an academic leader to direct educational strategy across school sites, elevate academic leadership standards, and serve as the public advocate for an AI driven, mastery based learning model.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Designing academic frameworks that operationalize learning science for curriculum development, motivational architecture, and application design.
  • Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure alignment, accountability, and result delivery across school teams.
  • Integrating data, stakeholder interviews, and direct observation into comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that identify high impact obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend targeted interventions.
  • Ensuring strategic coherence through planning cycles, continuous feedback, and milestone monitoring to sustain focus on student achievement objectives.
  • Serving as the principal representative of 2 Hour Learning in high profile settings—from keynote presentations to engagements with Ministries of Education.

Basic Requirements

  • Experience driving learning outcomes for students and upholding student performance standards
  • Experience applying AI or emerging technologies to improve education, such as through personalized learning, adaptive learning, AI agents, etc.
  • Experience managing academic teams of 50+ people (e.g., teams that directly executed curriculum, instruction, or assessment)
  • Experience interacting directly with students, teachers, or school leaders in a professional setting

Compensation and Work Arrangement

  • Full time (40 hours per week), long term position
  • Independent contractor agreement with Crossover as a Contractor of Record
  • Compensation: $200 USD/hour, equating to $400,000 USD/year assuming 40 hours per week and 50 weeks per year
