Associate Principal, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $800,000/year USD

Ready to architect the infrastructure behind America's next education revolution?

At 2 Hour Learning, we're not just opening schools—we're engineering a complete reimagining of how education operates. Our proven model delivers a full year's academic growth in just two focused hours daily, freeing students for sports, arts, and real-world exploration. Now we're scaling nationwide with 25-30 new campuses launching in the next six months.

We need a facilities mastermind to orchestrate this expansion. This isn't about managing buildings—it's about creating the physical foundation that enables educational transformation. You'll command a comprehensive team including an SVP and multiple VPs, wielding full budget authority and decision-making power to ensure every campus opens on time, operates flawlessly, and scales intelligently.

Our portfolio spans Alpha, NextGen Academy, GT School, Texas Sports Academy, and beyond—each campus a testament to our core principle that learning can be both accelerated and liberating. With private equity backing and full funding secured, we're positioned for aggressive national expansion.

This opportunity demands an operator who thrives in zero-margin-for-error environments. If traditional organizations have called you "too aggressive" or "too fast," you've found your perfect match.

What You Will Be Doing

• Commanding the complete facilities ecosystem: orchestrating new construction, major renovations, and operational excellence across our expanding 25-30 campus network
• Building and directing a powerhouse team structure (SVP leadership + VP specialists + support staff) with complete P&L accountability for facilities operations
• Architecting and implementing universal standards spanning procurement protocols, security systems, furniture specifications, network infrastructure, and brand presentation
• Pioneering AI-integrated operational playbooks and service level agreements that streamline every future expansion cycle
• Maintaining direct founder reporting relationships while orchestrating cross-functional collaboration with legal, finance, and compliance teams to ensure non-negotiable launch timelines
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Operating as an advisor or consultant—you'll be the decision-maker with full execution authority
• Focusing on individual campus projects—your mandate spans national systems and scalable processes
• Maintaining legacy operational methods—you'll pioneer cutting-edge, AI-enhanced workflows
• Following traditional executive hierarchies—this position drives expansion strategy rather than responding to it
  
  

Associate Principal Key Responsibilities

• Established track record developing and leading high-performance teams with complete budget and P&L responsibility
• Advanced capabilities in systematic problem-solving, stakeholder coordination, and executive communication
• Demonstrated excellence operating with speed, independence, and accountability in high-growth or private equity environments
• Valid U.S. work authorization and flexibility for approximately 25% travel requirements
  
  

Nice-to-have Requirements
