Job details:
Consider this role if you are an academic leader who prefers designing the system to critiquing it. You possess the subject fluency to recognize high-caliber learning, the rigor to translate that insight into rubrics and AI-driven quality assurance, and the pragmatism to respond to imperfect data quickly. Student improvement matters to you, and you are prepared to be measured by that metric.
2 Hour Learning pursues an approach the broader software and education sectors seldom undertake. There are no teachers, no textbooks, and no familiar scaffolding of traditional pedagogy supporting the product. AI serves as the core operating model. In this capacity, you leverage it to produce and refine learning materials, architect interventions, oversee quality standards, and advance the platform. The tempo resembles high-stakes technology, consulting, or finance more than traditional education, and the reward is direct accountability for subject-level student performance across campuses.
This position centers on operational leadership. You will architect AI-driven learning ecosystem improvements, address student-performance data with focused interventions, produce evidence-backed decision documentation, and lead a team against explicit benchmarks tied to MAP, AP, SAT, and ISEE outcomes. You will also collaborate closely with product, engineering, and data science teams to shape platform priorities. It suits someone who gravitates toward AI, conducts independent analysis, delivers amid uncertainty, and assumes full ownership of results. It will challenge anyone who favors consensus-driven timelines, minimal accountability, or the security of established methods.
You will serve as a central leader within the academics function, wielding meaningful influence over your subject's performance and the evolution of the broader learning infrastructure. The team will depend on your standards, your expertise, and your capacity to translate student data into actionable steps. If that prospect feels motivating rather than daunting, you are likely well-suited for this role.
What You Will Be Doing
- Learning Ecosystem Enhancements — AI-generated refinements to K–12 subject-specific learning experiences spanning content, adaptive pathways, and student interventions, shaped by student feedback, analytics, assessments, and coaching observations.
- Data-Driven Academic Interventions — Focused intervention strategies for underperforming students or groups, informed by MAP, AP, SAT, ISEE, and comparable performance metrics.
- Student Performance Decision Records — Scalable, evidence-supported decisions that document actions taken to improve student performance, backed by dashboards, analytics, tickets, surveys, coaching sessions, and assessment results.
- Learning Ecosystem Improvement Specs — Actionable specifications for product, engineering, and data science enhancements, featuring problem definitions, corroborating evidence, projected student impact, and acceptance standards.
What You Won’t Be Doing
- Repackaging traditional education in an AI wrapper. This isn't about replicating classroom instruction via screens – we're fundamentally reimagining learning from the ground up.
- Analyzing data in isolation. You'll be expected to regularly engage with K-12 students, valuing their feedback as essential input from our paying customers.
- Waiting for consensus to push boundaries. You'll champion a bold vision and rally others around data-driven results.
- Sticking to conventional methods. You'll be free to experiment with innovative approaches to motivation, assessment, and instruction.
- Fearing AI's impact on education. Here, you'll harness AI as an exciting tool to revolutionize learning, not as a threat to be mitigated.
