Spatial and Interior 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 step into a room and immediately sense whether it feels intentional or improvised. You register lighting warmth, visual clutter, cable management, seat arrangement, and overall atmosphere—and once something feels wrong, you can't ignore it. If you want to shape what a "high-performance school" truly looks and feels like, this is your opportunity.
2 Hour Learning is creating AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in two hours daily, then dedicate afternoons to life skills and passion-based exploration. As campuses roll out nationwide, the physical setting must deliver on the promise: serene, purposeful, unconventional, and distinctly premium. This position exists to establish that benchmark and ensure consistency across every location.
You will establish the design direction, convert it into floor plans that challenge conventional classroom layouts, and document standards to prevent brand dilution during growth. This is not about managing vendors or overseeing facilities. It is focused, high-judgment design execution under real constraints with genuine impact.
If you possess the discernment to define a new category and the agility to deliver without compromise, we want to hear from you.
What you will be doing
- Developing comprehensive campus design packages (philosophy, visual references, material palettes, lighting character, furnishing strategy) that communicate premium quality and depart from conventional school aesthetics
- Generating detailed spatial plans that support adaptable learning areas, intuitive circulation, and coherent lighting and environmental principles
- Establishing and refining design guidelines and controls that preserve campus-to-campus consistency while accommodating varied building configurations
- Executing rapid refinement rounds on active campuses by identifying upgrade opportunities and producing ranked action lists that enhance finish quality without compromising opening schedules
What you will NOT be doing
- Coordinating with vendors, engaging contractors, or handling purchasing logistics
- Supervising construction work, maintenance tasks, or executive-level facility management
- Creating generic "attractive" private school interiors featuring bright primary palettes and institutional-grade materials
- Pursuing flawless execution at the expense of project timelines
Key responsibilities
This position is responsible for ensuring that each campus opens and matures with a category-redefining, premium, unconventional physical presence that remains uniform as the network expands.
Candidate requirements
- At least 3 years of professional experience in interior, spatial, environmental, or experiential design
- Portfolio demonstrating premium physical spaces (such as hospitality, luxury residential, boutique commercial, cruise ship, or experiential projects)
- Documented capability to independently produce mood boards and comprehensive conceptual direction for environments
- Documented capability to develop spatial layouts that enhance flow, density, and user engagement
- Deep understanding of materials and lighting (surfaces, texture, lighting warmth, and their influence on atmosphere)
- Exceptional aesthetic discernment with clear demonstrations of restraint, proportion, and precision in detail
- Proficiency with AI design tools or strong track record of quickly mastering emerging design technologies
- Authorization to work in the United States and availability for a hybrid role requiring 50–70% travel to campus sites
Nice to have
- Background designing scalable multi-location environments supported by defined standards and frameworks
- Background designing unconventional learning, community, or wellness environments featuring flexible seating configurations
- Proficient rapid visualization and rendering abilities that accelerate concept iteration and stakeholder alignment
