Head of Curriculum

Role overviewThis position is for an academic leader who wants to build the learning model itself rather than only evaluate it from the sidelines. The ideal candidate understands subject matter deeply enough to judge learning quality, can convert that judgment into clear rubrics and AI-based quality checks, and is comfortable making practical decisions even when information is incomplete. A strong focus on student progress and ownership of outcomes is essential.2 Hour Learning uses a fundamentally different model from conventional schools: there are no teachers, textbooks, or traditional instructional supports. Artificial intelligence is the main operating system. In this role, you will use AI to create and improve learning content, design interventions, manage quality assurance, and help shape product capabilities. The pace is closer to high-performance environments in technology, consulting, or finance than in standard education settings, and you will directly own subject-level student results across several campuses.You will lead a core academic function, building AI-powered improvements to the learning ecosystem, responding to performance data with targeted actions, producing evidence-based decision records, and managing a team measured against clear benchmarks linked to MAP, AP, SAT, and ISEE outcomes. You will work closely with product, engineering, and data science to influence platform direction. This role is best suited to someone who naturally uses AI, can work independently, performs well under ambiguity, and takes complete responsibility for results.As a senior leader in the academics team, you will have substantial influence over subject outcomes and the evolution of the broader learning system. Your judgment, standards, and ability to turn student data into action will be relied upon by others.What you will doImprove the learning ecosystem by creating AI-assisted upgrades to K-12 subject experiences, including content, adaptive learning paths, and student interventions informed by student feedback, analytics, assessments, and coaching input.Design intervention plans for students or groups that are not meeting expectations, using evidence from MAP, AP, SAT, ISEE, and similar measures.Document decisions in a repeatable, evidence-based way, using dashboards, analytics, tickets, surveys, coaching sessions, and assessment results to explain actions taken to improve student performance.Write clear product and technology specifications for product, engineering, and data science teams, including the problem statement, supporting evidence, expected student impact, and acceptance criteria.Lead the move toward AI-first, teacher-less education with a strong focus on outcomes across multiple campuses.Blend analytics with ongoing student engagement to keep refining learning experiences and support AP exam performance and MAP growth.What this role is notThis is not a role for recreating conventional classroom teaching through software; the goal is to rethink learning from the ground up.It is not a data-only job with no student interaction; regular engagement with K-12 students is expected and their feedback matters.You will not wait endlessly for consensus before moving forward; the role calls for bold, data-backed decisions.You are expected to experiment with new approaches to motivation, assessment, and instruction rather than rely only on established methods.The role is not for someone who is wary of AI in education; AI should be embraced as a central tool for transformation.RequirementsMaster’s degree or higher in Educational Science, Learning Science, Psychology, Psychometrics, Instructional Design, or a closely related field.At least 5 years of experience in academic leadership or EdTech leadership, including direct people management responsibilities such as hiring, performance reviews, coaching, and termination decisions.Proven use of AI tools in day-to-day work, along with a readiness to rely on AI heavily to improve academic and operational outcomes.Strong understanding of learning science concepts, including Cognitive Load Theory and Mayer’s Multimedia Principles, plus experience with data-led educational methods.About the organization2 Hour Learning is working to replace the traditional one-size-fits-all education model with AI-powered personalized learning that helps students master academics in just two hours a day. The organization reports students consistently performing in the top 1–2% nationally, with the top 20% achieving 6.5x growth. It offers a fast-moving environment that is both on-campus and remote-friendly for people who want to help improve education through innovation and AI.Working arrangement and compensationThis is a full-time role with a 40-hour work week and a long-term horizon.
