Vice President of Finance 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
Financial operations at 2 Hour Learning are not conventional FP&A. They exist to serve a network of schools that moves decisively and requires financial intelligence at execution speed.
We make decisions every day. We launch schools, adjust strategy, and act on insight—not retrospective analysis. You will not wait for BI infrastructure or rely on stale monthly reporting. Instead, you will design and maintain the models, dashboards, and control frameworks that deliver clarity to operators and leadership in real time. Your deliverables will inform school expansions, resource allocation, and strategic direction. Speed, precision, and credibility are non-negotiable.
You will operate a live, AI-enhanced financial architecture. That includes integrated profit-and-loss models segmented by school and business unit. It includes rolling forecasts spanning 12 to 18 months, refreshed to reflect reality within 72 hours. It includes executive dashboards that isolate the handful of variables that determine outcomes. You will use AI platforms such as ChatGPT and Copilot to compress timelines and remove friction from your workflow. This is not about building bespoke systems—it is about deploying proven tools to deliver results faster.
This role is not suited to finance leaders who thrive in layered hierarchies. It is built for professionals who are impatient with red tape and slow cycles. You apply AI to compress turnaround times and expect your analysis to drive action, not merely document history. You will not observe from the periphery. You will be central to how decisions are made and executed.
What you will be doing
- Develop and sustain dynamic three-statement financial models for every school and vertical, integrating enrollment trends, staffing plans, and capital expenditures into unified forecasts.
- Refresh rolling 12 to 18 month projections on a weekly cadence, incorporating the most current data and stress-testing upside and downside scenarios.
- Produce executive-level dashboards powered by live data streams, surfacing critical decision levers and enabling confident, real-time leadership choices.
- Deploy AI tools to compress analytical cycles, identify outliers, monitor variance trends, and eliminate manual friction across your finance workflows.
- Author concise financial memos that distill risk exposure, strategic alternatives, and budgetary trade-offs to board-ready standards—delivered within 72 hours of request.
What you will NOT be doing
- Running sluggish budget cycles or generating static reports that collect dust — your forecasts adapt to business reality continuously, and your output informs decisions within days.
- Enforcing cost-center compliance or tracking down expense receipts — you will prioritize insight and governance, not administrative overhead.
- Depending on business intelligence teams to build your tools — you will design and deploy the dashboards and models you need.
- Sifting through irrelevant detail — your mandate is to extract the handful of insights that shift trajectory.
- Engineering automation platforms from the ground up — you will leverage AI to accelerate execution, not construct technical infrastructure.
Key responsibilities
Maintain continuously updated financial models, forecasts, and decision-support dashboards that enable daily operational and strategic clarity across a rapidly scaling school network.
