Senior 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 walk into a room and immediately sense whether the space is intentionally crafted or haphazardly assembled. You register lighting warmth, visual noise, exposed cables, how seating is arranged, and the overall atmosphere. Once you spot what's wrong, you can't ignore it. If you want to shape what a "high-performance school" should look and feel like, this is your opportunity.
2 Hour Learning is developing AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in two hours daily, dedicating afternoons to life skills and passion-based learning. As campuses roll out nationwide, the physical space must reflect the mission: composed, deliberate, unconventional, and clearly premium. This role is responsible for establishing that standard and ensuring it scales reliably across all locations.
You will establish the design philosophy, translate it into floor plans that move beyond conventional classroom layouts, and document standards to prevent brand dilution during growth. This is not about managing contractors or overseeing facilities. It is high-judgment, high-output design work with practical constraints and clear accountability.
If you can define a new category with taste and execute quickly without compromise, we want to speak with you.
What you will be doing
- Developing campus design vision packages (philosophy, mood boards, material palettes, lighting character, furniture strategy) that convey premium quality and reject conventional school aesthetics
- Generating detailed spatial plans that support adaptable learning zones, intuitive circulation, and coherent lighting and environmental logic
- Establishing and maintaining design standards and guidelines that ensure campus-to-campus consistency while allowing flexibility for varying site conditions
- Executing rapid iteration cycles on active campuses by identifying refinement opportunities and producing prioritized action lists that enhance quality without stalling openings
What you will NOT be doing
- Coordinating vendors, sourcing contractors, or handling procurement processes
- Supervising construction, maintenance, or senior-level facilities management
- Creating "attractive" conventional private school interiors with bold primary colors and institutional materials
- Pursuing perfection in ways that delay campus launch schedules
Key responsibilities
This role is accountable for ensuring every campus opens and matures with a category-defining, premium, unconventional physical environment that remains consistent as we 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)
- Demonstrated ability to independently develop mood boards and comprehensive concept direction for spaces
- Demonstrated ability to produce spatial layouts that optimize flow, density, and user experience
- Deep material and lighting fluency (finishes, texture, lighting character, and their emotional impact)
- Exceptional aesthetic judgment with clear evidence of restraint, proportion, and attention to detail
- Comfort using AI tools or strong track record of quickly adopting emerging design technologies
- Eligibility to work in the United States in a hybrid model with 50–70% travel to campus sites
Nice to have
- Background designing repeatable multi-location environments with documented standards and templates
- Experience designing unconventional learning, community, or wellness environments with adaptable seating configurations
- Proficiency in rapid visualization/rendering techniques that accelerate concept iteration and decision cycles
