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

Company: Crossover

You've owned an academic vision and delivered measurable outcomes. You've led teams with clarity and accountability, not from the sidelines. In learning science, you've moved beyond theory—you've implemented systems that work, generated proof, and presented results to audiences that matter. If that describes your track record, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its academic leader.
2 Hour Learning operates on a model where students achieve twice the learning velocity in two hours per day. The framework relies on AI-driven tutoring, mastery-based advancement, and a structural break from traditional classrooms. Outcomes validate the approach. We now need a leader to align execution across varied school contexts, elevate academic standards, and serve as the public authority for a movement anchored in evidence-based learning science.
This role is not theoretical. It is a leadership charge. You will direct academic strategy in operational terms, establish performance benchmarks, surface execution shortfalls, and develop high-caliber teams to produce tangible results. You will convert scientific principles into execution discipline and advocate for this model on the global stage.
What You Will Be Doing
* Building academic frameworks that convert learning science into actionable direction for curriculum design, motivational architecture, and application development.
* Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure school teams maintain alignment, accountability, and performance.
* Analyzing data, conducting interviews, and observing operations to produce academic ecosystem assessments that isolate high-impact obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend concrete interventions.
* Ensuring strategic coherence through planning cycles, feedback mechanisms, and milestone oversight to sustain focus on student learning objectives.
* Serving as the principal representative of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile settings—keynote presentations, engagements with Ministries of Education—to influence global education paradigms.
What You Won’t Be Doing
* Working on narrow curriculum initiatives that lack systemic impact.
* Producing theoretical research disconnected from student outcomes or implementation.
* Transferring accountability for performance to mid-level managers or external advisors.
* Depending on institutional credibility or conceptual arguments to win over critical audiences.

* At least 7 years in academic or EdTech leadership roles, leading a team of staff/employees (not an informal peer leader role, such as grade-level lead); you must have been responsible for hiring, monitoring performance, coaching, and making termination decisions
* 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., the teams you managed directly executed curriculum, instruction, or assessment)
