Director of Financial Operations $200,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
This is not traditional FP&A. It's financial operations engineered for operators.
At 2 Hour Learning, you won't spend your time analyzing outdated budgets or depending on business intelligence teams. You'll create the financial models, real-time dashboards, and control frameworks that provide operators and leadership with the insight required to make decisive moves—every day. Your output drives school expansions, strategic shifts, and operational agility, and it must be precise, timely, and reliable.
You'll manage a dynamic, AI-enhanced finance infrastructure. This includes integrated profit-and-loss models for every school and business line, rolling 12–18 month forecasts refreshed within 72 hours of current reality, and decision dashboards that isolate the handful of metrics that truly drive performance. You'll construct all of this using Klair, Syft, and Retool—without relying on engineering resources.
If you believe financial models should inform action rather than merely document it, this role is for you. You won't observe from a distance. You'll sit at the operational core of how we execute.
What you will be doing
- Develop and sustain dynamic 3-statement financial models for every school and vertical — integrating enrollment trends, staffing allocations, and capital expenditures into a unified forecast framework.
- Refresh rolling 12–18 month forecasts on a weekly cadence using current data, and scenario-model both upside potential and downside exposure.
- Design executive dashboards powered by live data streams — surfacing critical levers and supporting confident, daily decision-making.
- Deploy AI and automation to identify outliers, monitor variance trends, and remove spreadsheet friction from finance workflows.
- Author clear, concise memos summarizing financial exposure, strategic alternatives, and budgetary trade-offs — at board-presentation quality, delivered within 72 hours.
What you will NOT be doing
- Running a sluggish annual budget cycle — your forecasts adapt to the business in real time.
- Auditing expense reports or chasing documentation — you prioritize insight and governance, not administrative overhead.
- Depending on BI or data teams — you own the creation of tools, dashboards, and financial models.
- Getting lost in irrelevant data — your focus is extracting the few insights that shift outcomes.
- Creating reports that gather dust — your analysis directly informs decisions within days of delivery.
Key responsibilities
Provide continuously updated financial models, forecasts, and dashboards that enable daily decision-making and strategic clarity across a fast-expanding network of schools.

- 3–6 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, Big 4 corporate finance/M&A (not audit), or high-growth FP&A

- Capable of producing investor-grade analysis and strategic recommendations under tight timelines
