VP of Campus Operations, 2 Hour Learning - $200,000/year USD

You step onto a campus and immediately spot what others miss — the ceiling tile that came loose and no one documented, the HVAC unit that's been making noise for days, the landscaping contractor who completed half the scope but submitted a full invoice. You don't wait for complaints to arrive. You fix problems before they surface.

That skill defines this role. 2 Hour Learning runs high-end K–12 campuses where parents expect an environment that is secure, well-maintained, and ready for tours at all times — not just when guests are scheduled. You'll maintain that expectation across the Northeast: Manhattan serves as your home base, with consistent travel to locations in CT, MA, and PA. Your efforts determine whether a campus consistently feels premium or gradually declines between leadership check-ins.

Year one focuses heavily on establishing standards and cleaning up vendor relationships — defining what "tour-ready" actually means, creating the audit schedule, replacing underperforming contractors, and training Campus Coordinators and Site Specialists to follow a consistent operational cadence. As additional schools join the network and your systems mature, the role transitions into ongoing regional stewardship: you become the expert the organization turns to when launching a new site, managing a crisis, or revising operational standards.

This is a hands-on field position. If you prefer managing via reports and metrics alone, this isn't the right fit. If you want clear ownership over whether 25 schools maintain a premium standard daily — plus the authority to deliver that outcome — continue reading.

What You Will Be Doing

• Running scheduled on-site inspections across Northeast locations using documented benchmarks for cleanliness, HVAC performance, safety, security, signage, landscaping, furnishings, and tour-readiness — then ensuring corrective actions are completed and verified
• Managing facility incidents and urgent issues by coordinating contractors and closing work orders only after confirming resolution (urgent items within 24 hours, standard items within 1 week)
• Overseeing local contractor performance against service agreements, terminating vendors who consistently underdeliver, renegotiating contracts, and conducting direct accountability discussions about quality and cost
• Establishing a weekly operational rhythm with Campus Coordinators and Site Specialists to ensure consistent execution of routines rather than reliance on individual heroics
• Overseeing significant campus improvement projects (HVAC replacements, interior updates, landscaping work, AV and network installations) within timeline and budget constraints while minimizing student disruption
• Documenting enterprise-wide standards and AI-powered procurement workflows (utilizing ticketing platforms, IoT/predictive maintenance tools, and centralized sourcing) to ensure uniform campus launch and operations
• Delivering clear weekly written updates covering regional quality metrics, vendor accountability, escalations, and capital expenditure tracking
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Operating remotely from behind a screen — this position demands frequent physical presence at Manhattan plus 20–40% travel to regional campuses (CT, MA, PA)
• Leading greenfield campus design or managing ground-up construction projects — capital expansion responsibilities belong to a separate function
• Creating enterprise procurement strategy disconnected from operational reality — your standards emerge from direct site observation
• Working within neat organizational charts with formal authority over everyone whose performance affects your outcomes — you'll drive results through documentation, written accountability, and refusing to accept ambiguous contractor commitments
• Tolerating a "tour-ready only when executives visit" culture — persistent problems get diagnosed at the root, not repeatedly ticketed
• Spending your time in reactive crisis mode — the inspection schedule and predictive maintenance systems exist to identify failures before they generate complaints

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Multi-site leadership experience in premium hospitality, luxury retail, private K–12 education, or healthcare serving demanding client bases
