SVP Operations $400,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
If you’ve ever led a launch and thought, “I should be running this whole thing” — now’s your chance.
2 Hour Learning is scaling fast. We’re opening 25–30 new school campuses in six months. That means buildings, budgets, systems, and regulatory greenlights — all on deadline. We’re hiring senior operators to own one of four critical domains: approvals, build-out, onboarding, or finance. You’ll have full accountability. No committee signoff. No handoffs. Just you, a mandate, and the chance to build the machine.
We’re not looking for advisors. We’re hiring former MBB+ consultants ready to stop recommending and start owning. This role is built for people who thrive in ambiguity but demand clarity of mission — the ones who turn a blank page into a plan and a plan into results.
2 Hour Learning powers Alpha, GT School, and other performance-driven K–12 schools built on a bold premise: students can master a year of content in two focused hours a day. The rest of the day? For passion, projects, and life. Our schools combine real-time dashboards, adaptive curriculum, and sharp guides — giving kids structure and freedom to grow.
We’re private equity-backed with funding in hand and a mandate to scale. The model works. Now we’re building infrastructure to match — fast.
Apply if you’re ready to move from PowerPoint to P&L. From theoretical to actual. From yes–but to hell yes.
What you will be doing
- Owning one domain of the national launch plan: regulatory approvals, campus build-outs, onboarding + systems, or financial operations
- Leading cross-functional execution with full decision rights and accountability
- Building playbooks where none exist — and pressure-testing them in real-time
- Collaborating directly with founders, functional leads, and campus staff to deliver launch-ready infrastructure
- Using AI tools and automation to streamline ops and accelerate execution
What you will NOT be doing
- Playing advisor — this is not a strategy role
- Working through layers — you'll have a direct line to decision-makers
- Managing one market or workstream — you’ll lead parallel efforts across geographies
- Waiting for clarity — you’ll create it
- Delegating the tough calls — they’re yours to make
Key responsibilities
Own and deliver one core operational pillar of 2HL’s national school launch — fast, clean, and at scale. We’ll route you to the best-fit pillar, but your domain is yours to own.
Candidate requirements
We’re hiring across multiple ops verticals. All require speed, clarity, structured thinking, and the ability to execute with intensity.
You should bring:
- 7–10 years of experience, including at least 3–5 years at a top-tier strategy consulting firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG)
- Proven track record owning cross-functional operations in high-stakes, high-ambiguity environments
- Clear spike in one or more: regulatory navigation, physical site build-outs, onboarding systems, or financial ops at scale
- Structured thinker with strong execution bias — can go from plan to action without hand-holding
- U.S. work authorization and willingness to travel ~1 week/month
- Comfort using AI tools to streamline workflow and accelerate delivery
