Senior Director of Operations, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $200,000/year USD

Trilogy
Santa Barbara, CA Remote Full Time
POSTED ON 3/23/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/22/2026
Operations Leaders: Build the Engine Behind America's Fastest-Growing School Network

At 2 Hour Learning, Operations Is The Product. Our National Network Of AI-native K-12 Schools Only Works If Our Campus Systems Do. That's Why Our Operations Team Doesn't "support" Expansion; They Drive It. Each Person Operates In One Of Five Mission-critical Domains, Becoming a Domain Expert Fast Through Real-world Immersion And AI-accelerated Learning

  • Authorization & Permitting – Secure multi-state legal approval and fast-track local permitting to unlock new markets.
  • Physical Build-Out & Maintenance – Oversee campus construction, upgrades, and vendor performance to deliver and sustain high-quality facilities.
  • Operational Setup – Launch every new school with all systems—devices, platforms, support, compliance—fully configured and ready to go.
  • Financial Operations – Build budgets, deliver daily insight dashboards, and maintain audit-ready financial control across every school and vertical.
  • PMO – Accelerate delivery of key tech and marketing initiatives through vendor scorecards, Wrike dashboards, and initiative-level reporting.

You'll ship dashboards that clarify financial blind spots. Design onboarding systems that halve student setup errors. Secure regulatory approval in new states. Stand up campuses in record time. Or prototype AI-first workflows that replace layers of traditional management. This is high-stakes, high-velocity execution—done by builders, not bystanders.

If you're the kind of operator who sees bottlenecks and starts building—not scheduling meetings—you'll thrive here. Your systems will power the next 25–30 schools we open in the next year. Your work will define what great looks like for hundreds of staff and thousands of students. And your track record will speak for itself.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Owning one of five core ops pillars: Authorization, Build-Out, Setup, Finance, or PMO
  • Solving first-time problems in your pillar using AI, automation, and rapid iteration
  • Writing clear specs, dashboards, or runbooks that scale across dozens of schools
  • Interfacing with real-world constraints: campus vendors, regulators, systems, and staff
  • Traveling to campuses when needed to implement or pressure-test your solutions

What You Won’t Be Doing

  • Waiting for product or engineering to build your ops tools—you'll prototype or automate yourself
  • Asking AI to "write an SOP" and calling it a day—you'll vibe-code solutions that actually work
  • Being siloed in a central office—expect to travel and ship on-site outcomes
  • Handing off your strategy to someone else to execute—you'll do both, end-to-end

Senior Director Of Operations Key Responsibilities

Own outcomes within your assigned operations pillar by building systems that support blitz-scale school expansion with speed, accuracy, and AI-native precision.

  • Proven use of AI tools for research, writing, problem-solving, and automation
  • Strong analytical and written communication skills
  • Bias for action, low ego, high ownership
  • Experience in one of the following: permitting, construction, edtech systems, FP&A, or vendor management

  • Track record of rapid domain ramp-up (legal, finance, compliance, systems, etc.)
