Senior Spatial Designer $100,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
You enter a space and immediately sense whether it was designed with care or assembled without intention. You register the warmth of the lighting, the presence or absence of clutter, visible cables, seating arrangements, and the overall atmosphere. Once something feels misaligned, you cannot ignore it. If you are ready to establish what a "high-performance school" should look and feel like, this role offers that opportunity.
2 Hour Learning is developing AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in two hours each day, then dedicate their afternoons to life skills and self-directed learning. As campuses open across the US, the physical space must reflect the mission: composed, purposeful, unconventional, and distinctly premium. This position exists to define that standard and ensure it scales consistently across all locations.
You will shape the design philosophy, develop layouts that depart from conventional classroom models, and establish standards to prevent brand erosion as the organization grows. This is not a role focused on vendor coordination or facilities management. It is design work that demands refined taste, rapid execution, real-world adaptability, and clear accountability.
If you possess the discernment to define a new category and the agility to execute without compromising quality, we should speak.
What you will be doing
- Developing comprehensive design vision packages for campuses (philosophy, mood boards, material selections, lighting strategy, furniture guidelines) that communicate premium quality and avoid conventional school aesthetics
- Generating detailed spatial layouts that support adaptable learning zones, intuitive circulation, and cohesive lighting and environmental reasoning
- Establishing and refining design standards and frameworks that ensure campus-to-campus consistency while accommodating varied physical footprints
- Executing rapid iteration cycles on active campuses by identifying refinement opportunities and producing prioritized action lists that enhance finish quality without disrupting launch schedules
What you will NOT be doing
- Coordinating vendors, identifying contractors, or managing procurement processes
- Supervising construction, maintenance work, or executive-level facilities operations
- Creating conventional private school interiors that rely on bright primary colors and institutional-grade finishes
- Pursuing perfection in ways that compromise launch timelines
Key responsibilities
This role exists to guarantee that every campus launches and evolves with a premium, category-defining, non-traditional physical environment that maintains consistency at scale.
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 3 years of experience in interior, spatial, environmental, or experiential design
- Portfolio demonstrating premium physical environments (e.g., hospitality, luxury residential, boutique commercial, cruise ship, or experiential)
- Proven ability to independently develop mood boards and comprehensive concept direction for physical spaces
- Proven ability to design spatial layouts that optimize circulation, density, and user experience
- Strong fluency in materials and lighting (finishes, texture, lighting tone, and their emotional impact)
- High-level aesthetic judgment with clear evidence of restraint, proportion, and attention to detail
- Comfort using AI tools or demonstrated capacity for rapid adoption of emerging design technologies
- Ability to work in the United States in a hybrid arrangement with 50–70% travel to campus locations
Nice to have
- Experience creating repeatable multi-location environments supported by clear standards and templates
- Experience designing non-traditional learning, community, or wellness environments with flexible seating configurations
- Strong rapid visualization/rendering capabilities that accelerate concept iteration and decision cycles
