Director of Operational Excellence

$400,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($200 USD/hour)

• Owning one domain of the national launch plan: regulatory approvals, onboarding + systems, or financial operations
• Leading cross-functional execution with full decision rights and accountability
• Building playbooks where none exist — and pressure-testing them in real-time
• Collaborating directly with founders, functional leads, and campus staff to deliver launch-ready infrastructure
• Using AI tools and automation to streamline ops and accelerate execution

• Playing advisor — this is not a strategy role
• Working through layers — you'll have a direct line to decision-makers
• Managing one market or workstream — you’ll lead parallel efforts across geographies
• Waiting for clarity — you’ll create it
• Delegating the tough calls — they’re yours to make

Own and deliver one core operational pillar of 2HL’s national school launch — fast, clean, and at scale. We’ll route you to the best-fit pillar, but your domain is yours to own.

We’re hiring across multiple ops verticals. All require speed, clarity, structured thinking, and the ability to execute with intensity.

You should bring:

• At least 3 years of experience at a top-tier strategy consulting firm (McKinsey, Bain, BCG)
• Proven track record owning cross-functional operations in high-stakes, high-ambiguity environments
• Clear spike in one or more: regulatory navigation, onboarding systems, or financial ops at scale
• Structured thinker with strong execution bias — can go from plan to action without hand-holding
• U.S. work authorization and willingness to travel ~1 week/month
• Comfort using AI tools to streamline workflow and accelerate delivery
