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
Forget traditional FP&A—welcome to the financial command center for innovators.
At 2 Hour Learning, you'll transcend conventional finance roles by creating dynamic, real-time financial intelligence that drives action. Instead of analyzing what happened last quarter, you'll build the predictive frameworks that shape our future—daily. Your financial insights won't gather dust; they'll catalyze school launches, strategic shifts, and operational excellence.
You'll architect a next-generation finance ecosystem powered by AI. Think integrated P&L models that breathe with the business, rolling forecasts that stay within 3 days of current reality, and intuitive dashboards that illuminate the critical few levers that transform our trajectory. And you'll build it all with cutting-edge tools like Klair, Syft, and Retool—no dependency on engineering teams.
If you're ready to see your financial expertise directly power organizational velocity rather than just document it, this role puts you at the nerve center of our momentum.
What you will be doing
- Architect comprehensive 3-statement financial models for each educational vertical and school, creating a unified system where enrollment trends, staffing decisions, and capital expenditures form a coherent financial narrative.
- Refresh forward-looking 12-18 month projections weekly, incorporating real-time data and stress-testing multiple scenarios to anticipate opportunities and challenges.
- Craft executive intelligence dashboards fueled by live data streams—highlighting actionable insights that enable leadership to make confident, informed decisions without delay.
- Deploy AI and automation to proactively identify anomalies, track performance variances, and eliminate inefficient manual processes across the finance function.
- Compose concise, board-ready financial analyses that distill complex situations into clear risk assessments, strategic options, and budgetary implications—all delivered within a 72-hour window.
What you will NOT be doing
- Orchestrating cumbersome annual budget cycles—your financial frameworks evolve continuously alongside business realities.
- Becoming the organizational cost police—you'll establish intelligent controls without creating bureaucratic friction.
- Submitting tickets to BI teams and waiting—you'll independently build and modify the analytical tools you need.
- Getting lost in data overload—your expertise will filter signal from noise, surfacing only the insights that can meaningfully alter our trajectory.
- Creating reports destined for digital archives—your work will directly influence strategic and operational decisions within days of completion.
Key responsibilities
Create and maintain an always-on financial intelligence system through continuously updated models, forecasts, and visualization tools that drive daily operational decisions and strategic clarity across our expanding educational network.
