Title: Director of Academics, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) – $400,000/year USD

Company: Crossover

Location: India

You’ve shaped a clear academic vision and taken ownership of the results. You’ve led openly, not from the sidelines. And when it comes to learning science, you’re not experimenting—you’ve created something concrete, produced measurable outcomes, and earned the credibility to share that story publicly. If this describes you, 2 Hour Learning is seeking its academic leader.

At 2 Hour Learning, we’ve designed a system where students achieve twice the learning velocity in just two hours per day. AI-powered tutoring, mastery-driven progression, and a fundamental shift from traditional classroom models deliver these outcomes. The impact is undeniable. We’re now searching for a leader who can synchronize execution across varied school environments, elevate academic leadership standards, and serve as the public voice of a movement rooted in evidence-based learning science.

This isn’t a role centered on academic theory. It’s a leadership imperative. You’ll control academic strategy in action, define rigorous standards, surface execution shortfalls, and guide high-performing teams toward tangible results. You’ll convert our scientific underpinnings into operational clarity and advocate for this model globally.

What You Will Be Doing

• Building academic frameworks that convert learning science into actionable direction for curriculum design, motivational systems, and application architecture.
• Conducting academic execution reviews with Heads of Academics to confirm school teams maintain alignment, accountability, and outcome delivery.
• Integrating data, stakeholder interviews, and direct observation into comprehensive academic ecosystem assessments that identify the most critical obstacles to accelerated learning and recommend concrete interventions.
• Ensuring strategic alignment via planning cycles, feedback mechanisms, and milestone oversight to preserve 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 thinking.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Adjusting isolated curriculum initiatives without producing systemic impact.
• Producing theoretical research disconnected from student outcomes or implementation.
• Transferring performance accountability to mid-level managers or external consultants.
• Depending on organizational reputation or academic theory to convince doubtful stakeholders.

• 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)
• Experience interacting directly with students, teachers, or school leaders in a professional setting
