Director of Interior Design & Construction, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $200,000/year USD

Certain spaces simply work. You instinctively want to understand what makes them succeed. If you're a designer who grasps both fine details and overarching systems, who finds fulfillment in physical environments rather than concept boards, and who knows that beautiful, functional spaces can be systematically replicated, this role channels your expertise into tangible outcomes.

We are establishing a nationwide network of 2 Hour Learning campuses. These facilities enable students to complete a full academic curriculum in two focused hours, then dedicate the remainder of their day to passion projects, practical life skills, and physical activity. Your responsibility is to make these environments memorable. As the accountable leader for interior environments across our campus network, you will establish modular frameworks for spatial planning, furniture, fixtures, equipment, play areas, and directional signage. You will guarantee flawless execution at each location. You will visit campuses, identify issues others overlook, define upgrade scopes, and shepherd projects from budgeting through installation.

This role differs from conventional design positions—it is not isolated from implementation. You will not submit drawings and disengage. Instead, you will be present to resolve installation challenges, educate vendors, and gather insights that refine subsequent deployments. If you are prepared to transform your design expertise into nationwide influence, this is your opportunity.

What You Will Be Doing

• Develop modular, repeatable design frameworks for spatial layouts, FF&E, finishes, and play environments that function across varied campus sites
• Execute on-site evaluations with standardized assessment tools to measure compliance with brand standards and identify high-value enhancements
• Prepare detailed, visual, budget-conscious proposals for facility improvements that align with educational philosophy, brand identity, and family experience
• Manage vendor performance on-site, maintaining adherence to standards, budgets, and schedules through active quality assurance
• Complete post-installation reviews by recording successes and failures, then revising operational guides to reflect learnings
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Creating unique, bespoke environments that cannot be systematized or repeated.
• Delivering specifications and disengaging. You own the entire process from evaluation through completion.
• Waiting for complete information. This position values proactive thinking, rapid learning, and sound decision-making under uncertainty.
• Designing without constraints. All work is tightly aligned with brand guidelines and operational realities.
• Operating remotely. You will spend 50-75% of your time traveling to campus locations.
