You understand immediately whether a space feels deliberate or improvised. You read the lighting warmth, the visual noise, the cable management, the seating arrangement, and the atmosphere—and once something feels misaligned, you cannot look past it. If you are ready to shape what a "high-performance school" should look and feel like, this role offers that opportunity.
2 Hour Learning is creating AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in two hours daily, then transition to afternoons focused on life skills and self-directed learning. As campuses roll out nationwide, the physical setting must align with the vision: composed, purposeful, unconventional, and distinctly premium. This role establishes that benchmark and ensures it scales reliably across all locations.
You will define the design direction, develop layouts that move beyond conventional classroom formats, and establish standards so the brand remains coherent as the network grows. This is not a vendor coordination position or a facilities oversight function. It is sophisticated, fast-moving design work operating within real constraints and carrying real accountability.
If you possess the discernment to define a new category and the execution speed to deliver without compromise, we want to hear from you.
What You Will Be Doing
• Developing comprehensive campus design vision packages (philosophy, visual references, material palettes, lighting character, furniture strategy) that convey premium quality and reject conventional school aesthetics
• Generating detailed spatial layouts that support adaptable learning environments, intuitive circulation, and coherent lighting and environmental strategy
• Establishing and sustaining design standards and boundaries that ensure campus-to-campus consistency while accommodating varied building configurations
• Executing rapid refinement cycles on active campuses by identifying improvement opportunities and producing ranked action lists that enhance finish quality without disrupting opening schedules
What You Won’t Be Doing
• Coordinating vendors, identifying contractors, or handling procurement workflows
• Supervising construction activity, maintenance schedules, or senior-level facilities management
• Creating "attractive" conventional private school interiors featuring vivid primary palettes and institutional materials
• Pursuing ideal outcomes at the expense of project timelines
Interior Design Specialist Key Responsibilities
This role ensures that every campus opens and matures with a category-defining, premium, unconventional physical environment that remains consistent as the organization scales.
Basic Requirements
• At least 3 years of professional experience in interior, spatial, environmental, or experiential design
• Portfolio demonstrating premium physical environments (examples: hospitality, luxury residential, boutique commercial, cruise ship, or experiential projects)
• Demonstrated capability to independently produce mood boards and comprehensive concept direction for physical spaces
• Demonstrated capability to develop spatial layouts that enhance flow, occupancy efficiency, and user experience
• Deep knowledge of materials and lighting (finishes, texture, lighting temperature, and their influence on atmosphere)
• Refined aesthetic judgment supported by clear evidence of restraint, proportion, and attention to detail
• Proficiency with AI design tools or strong track record of quickly adopting emerging design technologies
• Authorization to work in the United States and availability for a hybrid role requiring 50–70% campus travel
Nice-to-have Requirements
• Background designing scalable multi-location environments supported by defined standards and systems
• Background designing unconventional learning, community, or wellness environments with adaptable seating configurations
• Advanced rapid visualization and rendering capabilities that accelerate concept iteration and decision velocity
