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 walk into a room and immediately sense whether it feels premium or improvised. You register lighting warmth, visual clutter, visible cables, seating arrangement, and overall atmosphere. Once something feels wrong, you cannot ignore 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 passion-based learning. As campuses open across the United States, the physical setting must reflect the vision: composed, purposeful, unconventional, and distinctly premium. This position defines that standard and ensures it scales consistently across all locations.
You will establish the design direction, transform it into spatial plans that move beyond conventional classroom layouts, and document standards to prevent brand inconsistency during growth. This is not about managing vendors or overseeing facilities. It is focused, high-quality design execution within real constraints and with meaningful impact.
If you possess the discernment to establish a category and the efficiency to deliver without compromise, we should speak.
What you will be doing
- Developing campus design vision packages (philosophy, mood boards, material selections, lighting character, furniture guidelines) that convey premium quality and reject traditional school aesthetics
- Generating detailed spatial layouts that support flexible learning areas, logical circulation, and coherent lighting and environmental strategy
- Establishing and maintaining design standards and boundaries that preserve consistency across every campus while accommodating varied floor plans
- Executing rapid iteration cycles at active campuses by identifying refinement opportunities and producing prioritized improvement lists that enhance quality without disrupting timelines
What you will NOT be doing
- Managing vendors, sourcing contractors, or handling procurement processes
- Supervising construction, maintenance, or executive-level facility operations
- Creating "attractive" conventional private school interiors featuring bright primary colors and institutional materials
- Pursuing perfection at the expense of launch schedules
Key responsibilities
This position ensures every campus launches and matures with a category-defining, premium, non-traditional physical environment that remains consistent as the organization scales.
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 capability to independently develop mood boards and comprehensive concept direction for physical spaces
- Proven capability to design spatial layouts that optimize circulation, density, and user experience
- Strong knowledge of materials and lighting (finishes, texture, lighting tone, and their emotional impact)
- Exceptional aesthetic judgment with clear evidence of restraint, proportion, and attention to detail
- Comfort using AI tools or demonstrated track record of quickly adopting new design technologies
- Ability to work in the United States with a hybrid arrangement involving 50–70% travel to campus sites
Nice to have
- Background designing repeatable multi-location environments with documented standards and templates
- Experience designing non-traditional learning, community, or wellness environments with adaptable seating configurations
- Proficient rapid visualization/rendering abilities that accelerate concept iteration and decision cycles
