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 enter a room and immediately sense whether it was thoughtfully composed or hastily assembled. You register lighting warmth, visual clutter, cable management, seating arrangement, and overall atmosphere. What is misaligned stays with you. If you are ready to shape the physical identity of a high-performance school, this is your opportunity.
2 Hour Learning operates AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in two hours daily, dedicating their afternoons to life skills and passion projects. As campuses multiply nationwide, the built environment must reflect our commitment: composed, deliberate, unconventional, and undeniably premium. This position establishes that benchmark and ensures it replicates reliably across all locations.
You will establish the design philosophy, translate it into spatial arrangements that depart from conventional classroom models, and document standards to preserve brand integrity during growth. This is neither a vendor coordination position nor a facilities management function. It is discerning, fast-paced design execution under real constraints with meaningful impact.
If you possess the discernment to establish a new standard and the agility to deliver without compromise, we should speak.
What you will be doing
- Developing comprehensive campus design vision documents (philosophy, mood boards, material palettes, lighting character, furniture strategy) that communicate premium quality and reject conventional school aesthetics
- Generating precise layout plans that support adaptable learning areas, intuitive circulation, and coherent lighting and environmental strategies
- Establishing and stewarding design standards and guardrails that ensure campus-to-campus consistency while accommodating varied site conditions
- Executing rapid iteration cycles at operational campuses by identifying refinement opportunities and producing prioritized improvement lists that enhance finish quality without disrupting openings
What you will NOT be doing
- Coordinating vendors, identifying contractors, or handling procurement activities
- Supervising construction, managing maintenance, or performing executive facilities operations
- Producing attractive yet generic private school interiors featuring bright primary palettes and institutional materials
- Pursuing perfection in ways that compromise launch schedules
Key responsibilities
This position ensures that every campus opens and matures with a category-defining, premium, non-traditional built environment that maintains consistency at scale.
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 3 years of experience in interior, spatial, environmental, or experiential design
- Demonstrated portfolio of premium physical environments (e.g., hospitality, luxury residential, boutique commercial, cruise ship, or experiential)
- Proven ability to independently create mood boards and end-to-end concept direction for spaces
- Proven ability to create spatial layouts that optimize flow, density, and user experience
- Strong material and lighting literacy (finishes, texture, lighting tone, and how they shape emotion)
- High-caliber aesthetic judgment with clear examples of restraint, proportion, and detail control
- Comfort using AI tools or strong evidence of rapid adoption of new design tools
- Ability to work in the United States in a hybrid setup with 50–70% travel to campuses
Nice to have
- Experience designing repeatable multi-site environments with clear standards and templates
- Experience designing non-traditional learning, community, or wellness spaces with flexible seating zones
- Strong rapid visualization/rendering skills that speed up concept iteration and decision-making
