Director of Learning Science, Learning; Remote

You've crafted and owned a clear academic vision and taken full responsibility for its results. You've led visibly, not quietly from the sidelines. In learning science, you're not experimenting—you've built something tangible, achieved measurable success, and earned credibility to present your work publicly. If that describes you, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its academic compass.

• Designing academic frameworks that convert learning science principles into actionable direction for curriculum development, engagement systems, and application architecture.
• Conducting academic performance reviews with Heads of Academics to maintain alignment, accountability, and consistent delivery.
• Analyzing data, interviews, and direct observation to produce academic ecosystem assessments that identify the most critical obstacles to faster learning and recommend concrete responses.
• Ensuring strategic coherence through structured planning, continuous feedback, and progress monitoring to sustain focus on student achievement.
• Serving as 2 Hour Learning's senior representative, from conference keynotes to ministerial discussions, to influence global perspectives on education reform.

• Working on narrow curriculum initiatives that fail to generate organization‑wide impact.
• Producing theoretical research disconnected from measurable student progress or operational reality.
• Transferring accountability for outcomes to mid-level managers or external advisors.
• Depending on institutional credibility or conceptual arguments to win over critical audiences.

Expand and strengthen 2 Hour Learning's validated academic model by harmonizing execution across school sites, raising leadership expectations, and establishing yourself as the authoritative spokesperson for a movement built on evidence-based science and demonstrable outcomes.
