Interior Design Specialist $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 designed with intention or assembled as an afterthought. Your eye catches the warmth of the lighting, the placement of furniture, visible cables, spatial density, and overall atmosphere. Once you spot what's wrong, you can't look away. If you want to shape what a "high-performance school" actually looks and feels like, this role offers that opportunity.
2 Hour Learning is creating AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in two hours daily, dedicating afternoons to life skills and personal interests. As campuses grow nationwide, the spaces themselves must reflect the mission: composed, deliberate, unconventional, and distinctly premium. This role establishes that benchmark and ensures consistency across all locations.
You will establish the design framework, convert it into spatial plans that reject conventional classroom layouts, and document standards to prevent brand dilution during expansion. This is not about managing vendors or overseeing facilities. It is focused, high-judgment design work executed at speed, under real constraints, with direct impact.
If you possess the discernment to establish a new category and the execution speed to deliver without compromise, we should speak.
What you will be doing
- Developing campus design vision documents (philosophy, mood boards, material palettes, lighting specifications, furniture guidelines) that communicate premium quality and move away from traditional school aesthetics
- Generating detailed spatial layouts that support adaptable learning environments, intuitive circulation, and coherent lighting and atmospheric strategies
- Establishing and refining design systems and parameters that maintain campus-to-campus consistency while accommodating varied floor plans
- Executing rapid improvement cycles on active campuses by identifying refinement opportunities and producing actionable priority lists that elevate quality without stalling openings
What you will NOT be doing
- Coordinating with vendors, hiring contractors, or handling purchasing workflows
- Supervising construction timelines, maintenance schedules, or senior-level facilities management
- Creating conventional, visually pleasant private school interiors featuring bold primary palettes and standard institutional materials
- Pursuing flawless execution at the expense of opening schedules
Key responsibilities
This role is accountable for ensuring each campus opens and matures with a category-setting, premium, unconventional physical environment that remains uniform across growth.
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
