What are the responsibilities and job description for the Head of Licensing & Permitting, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000/year USD position at Trilogy?
If you've mastered the art of turning regulatory mazes into launch highways across multiple jurisdictions, we need your expertise now. Not tomorrow. Not next quarter. Now.
2 Hour Learning is launching 25–30 new campuses in the next six months. These aren't aspirational targets—they're funded commitments with proven models awaiting execution. We need a regulatory pathfinder who doesn't just interpret requirements but drives timelines through them with precision and authority.
You'll command all state-level authorizations and local permitting—from zoning and fire safety to building code and operational registration. This isn't about tracking status reports; it's about owning the timeline, building the relationships, and eliminating the bottlenecks that stand between us and operational excellence.
About 2 Hour Learning
2 Hour Learning powers Alpha Schools, NextGen Academy, GT School, Texas Sports Academy, and Unbound Academy—a growing family of K–12 schools built on a proven premise: students achieve a full year of academic growth in just two focused hours daily. The remaining hours belong to them—for sailing, sports, public speaking, or game design.
Our platform integrates real-time progress dashboards, curriculum recommendations, and feedback tools—providing students and guides with structured pathways to accelerate learning and space to develop independently.
We're private equity-backed with sustainable funding and a mandate to scale. This isn't experimental—it's validated. Charter applications are in motion. Campuses are expanding. Now we're building the infrastructure to implement this model wherever it can succeed.
WHY THIS ROLE?
This position offers seasoned operators genuine authority, ownership, and measurable impact—without the founder's burden.

Basic Requirements
We require a senior operator with proven success navigating complex regulatory environments at scale—whether from elite consulting (MBB preferred but not mandatory) or executive positions in education, healthcare, real estate, or similarly regulated industries.
You Must Demonstrate
