Title: Director of Academics, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) – $400,000/year USD
Company: Crossover
Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
You've shaped an ambitious academic vision in the past and taken full ownership of its results. You've led decisively from the front lines, not from the sidelines. And when it comes to learning science, you're not experimenting—you've created something tangible, delivered outcomes that validate its effectiveness, and earned the authority to present that story publicly. If this describes your track record, 2 Hour Learning is searching for its academic leader.
At 2 Hour Learning, we've developed a system where students achieve double the learning velocity in only two hours per day. AI-driven tutoring, mastery-oriented progression, and a fundamental break from traditional classroom design power these results. The outcomes are exceptional. We now seek a leader who can bring cohesion to execution across varied school formats, elevate academic leadership standards, and serve as the public advocate for a movement anchored in rigorous learning science.
This is not a role centered on academic theory. It's a leadership imperative. You'll take ownership of academic strategy in action, establish clear benchmarks, surface execution shortfalls, and coach high-performing teams toward measurable outcomes. You'll convert our scientific underpinnings into operational rigor and champion this model on a global stage.
What You Will Be Doing
- Designing academic frameworks that convert learning science into actionable guidance for curriculum development, motivational architecture, and application design.
- Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to ensure school teams remain aligned, accountable, and results-oriented.
- Integrating data, stakeholder interviews, and direct observation into comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that pinpoint the most impactful obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend concrete interventions.
- Ensuring strategic alignment by establishing planning cycles, feedback mechanisms, and milestone monitoring to sustain focus on student learning objectives.
- Serving as the face of 2 Hour Learning in high-profile settings, from keynote presentations to engagements with Ministries of Education, advancing systemic transformation in global education paradigms.
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Engaging in isolated curriculum initiatives that fail to produce systemic impact.
- Producing theoretical research disconnected from student outcomes or operational execution.
- Transferring performance accountability to middle management or external consultants.
- Depending on institutional reputation or conceptual arguments to convince skeptical audiences.
