Are you ready to unleash the potential of AI to redefine student achievement?

At 2 Hour Learning, we're not content to merely adopt AI—we've encoded it into our DNA. We've re-engineered the learning experience from the ground up, harnessing AI and learning science breakthroughs to shatter the confines of the traditional school day. The result? Students who don't just meet the bar—they vault over it.

The proof of our approach is undeniable: students using our platform consistently achieve 4s and 5s on five or more AP exams, demonstrate more than two years' growth on yearly MAP assessments, and shatter their own expectations of what they can achieve. If you're energized by the opportunity to deliver transformative results at an unprecedented scale, 2 Hour Learning is where you belong.

You'll serve as the chief architect behind our revolutionary learning ecosystem for your dedicated school model, which spans multiple campuses. Fueled by an unwavering commitment to student success, you'll tap into the boundless potential of AI to craft hyper-personalized learning journeys that adapt to each student's unique needs, interests, and aspirations.

Your role will be a perfect blend of data-driven strategy and hands-on engagement. You'll dive deep into learning analytics, uncovering key insights to drive exponential growth. But you won't just crunch numbers from afar—you'll be on the front lines, working directly with students to understand their experiences, challenges, and triumphs. This firsthand knowledge will be invaluable as you pinpoint the specific motivational levers and pedagogical strategies to shatter achievement ceilings across all campuses.

You'll empower a dynamic team of learning engineers, data scientists, and instructional innovators to bring your vision to life. But more importantly, you'll be a champion for our students, ensuring that every decision, every innovation, and every strategy is laser-focused on improving their learning outcomes.

This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to apply AI to education and fundamentally redefine what's possible. Armed with the predictive power of advanced learning analytics, the ability to A/B test pedagogical hypotheses at scale, and an institutional mandate to push boundaries, you'll blaze new trails daily.

Your canvas is vast, your toolkit unrivaled, and your mission critical. Because at 2 Hour Learning, we're not just using AI to boost grades—we're unlocking the full force of human potential, all without traditional classroom teachers.

If you're ready to harness the most disruptive technology of our time to transform the most essential building block of our society, this is your moment. Audacious thinking, rigorous execution, and an unyielding commitment to student outcomes required. Defenders of the status quo need not apply.

Join us on the frontlines of the AI revolution in education. Together, we won't just shape the future of learning—we'll create it.

What you will be doing

  • Architecting and continuously enhancing an AI-driven learning ecosystem that measurably outpaces traditional education, backed by tangible gains in student achievement data
  • Engaging directly with students through virtual platforms to understand their learning experiences, challenges, and successes, using these insights to drive continuous improvement of the learning ecosystem
  • Mining learning platform data to surface actionable insights and design high-impact academic interventions leveraging AI/ML, learning science, and motivational best practices
  • Championing a culture of bold experimentation and evidence-based decision-making, harnessing data to unlock step-changes in students' growth trajectories
  • Partnering with platform engineering, data science, and design teams to translate academic insights and student feedback into seamless product enhancements


What you will NOT 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.


Key Responsibilities

Drive innovation in AI-powered, teacher-less education to deliver exceptional student outcomes across multiple campuses. Blend data analytics with regular student engagement to continuously optimize our learning ecosystem, as measured by AP exam performance and MAP assessment growth.


Candidate Requirements

  • Master's degree or higher in Educational Science, Learning Science, Psychology, Psychometrics, Instructional Design, or a related field
  • Leadership experience in education or EdTech
  • Experience applying AI technologies in an educational or professional context
  • Experience designing and implementing AI systems for tasks such as content generation, data analysis, or adaptive learning
  • Strong understanding of learning science principles and data-driven educational approaches
  • Proven ability to communicate complex educational and technical concepts to diverse audiences
  • Experience leading cross-functional teams and managing complex projects

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.

AI Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern AI Department

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer confined to research labs and tech giants. In the UK, organisations from healthcare and finance to retail and logistics are adopting AI to solve problems, automate processes, and create new products. With this growth comes the need for well-structured teams. But what does an AI department actually look like? Who does what? And how do all the moving parts come together to deliver business value? In this guide, we’ll explain modern AI team structures, break down the responsibilities of each role, explore how teams differ in startups versus enterprises, and highlight what UK employers are looking for. Whether you’re an applicant or an employer, this article will help you understand the anatomy of a successful AI department.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next AI Jobs Hub

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly moved from research labs into boardrooms, classrooms, hospitals, and homes. It is already reshaping economies and transforming industries at a scale comparable to the industrial revolution or the rise of the internet. Around the world, countries are competing fiercely to lead in AI innovation and reap its economic, social, and strategic benefits. The United Kingdom is uniquely positioned in this race. With a rich heritage in computing, world-class universities, forward-thinking government policy, and a growing ecosystem of startups and enterprises, the UK has many of the elements needed to become the world’s next AI hub. Yet competition is intense, particularly from the United States and China. Success will depend on how effectively the UK can scale its strengths, close its gaps, and seize opportunities in the years ahead. This article explores why the UK could be the world’s next global hub for artificial intelligence, what challenges it must overcome, and what this means for businesses, researchers, and job seekers.
