Principal Program Manager $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
You've tracked deliverables. Built reports. Followed up with vendors. Highlighted risk. But when the big decisions were made, you were waiting for someone else to act.
That changes at 2 Hour Learning. We are creating the world's most efficient AI-driven education system—delivering a complete school day in two hours while preserving learning outcomes. Underpinning that mission is a $50M portfolio of rapidly evolving EdTech projects. Your role will determine whether these projects deliver on schedule, within budget, and to specification.
You will run the operational infrastructure that ensures vendor accountability. You'll create real-time dashboards that leadership depends on. You'll develop vendor scorecards that inform action. You'll execute structured procurement processes and verify every billed dollar. When a vendor underperforms, you identify it. When an invoice doesn't match, you surface it. Your outputs won't just inform decisions—they'll drive them.
This role is built for operators who seek ownership, not oversight. If you're prepared to take on a position where precision counts, AI enhances your capacity, and your contributions directly influence which vendors continue, expand, or exit, we'd like to connect.
What you will be doing
- Sustain live, AI-enhanced dashboards covering 25+ initiatives—guaranteeing accuracy, transparency, and timeline adherence
- Lead vendor check-ins, develop rubric-driven scorecards, and generate insights that inform scope adjustments, budget shifts, or vendor exits
- Create dual-bid procurement packages featuring structured evaluations and well-defined scopes—facilitating vendor decisions
- Monitor contract and billing accuracy—confirming that every expenditure maps to deliverables, limits, and executed agreements
- Leverage AI tools daily to identify discrepancies, generate reports, follow up on progress, and enhance all deliverables
What you will NOT be doing
- Attending meetings while projects drift unnoticed in the background
- Assigning AI-driven tasks to junior staff or depending on others to maintain systems
- Overlooking billing discrepancies or vendor performance issues
- Creating status reports that neither inform choices nor prompt action
- Operating on intuition or assumptions—your deliverables are data-driven and leadership-ready
Key responsibilities
Deliver the dashboards, scorecards, procurement packages, and contract oversight that fuel a $50M execution platform and enforce continuous vendor accountability.
Candidate requirements
- Direct execution ownership of a multi-initiative program or portfolio (minimum $5M scope), involving hands-on vendor management
- Created and sustained dashboards, scorecards, or monitoring systems that executive leadership actively used—not solely internal teams
- Track record of conducting vendor check-ins, preparing bid packages, and contributing to contract cycles
- Practical understanding of contracts, Statements of Work, and invoices—capable of identifying and escalating inconsistencies
- Excellent written communication—your documentation drives decisions rather than generating additional discussions
- Routine application of AI tools to streamline, assess, and expedite execution
- Located in the United States, willing to travel domestically up to 25%, and authorized to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in EdTech, consulting, or high-velocity operational environments
- Hands-on experience with platforms such as Linear, Notion, Jira, or bespoke AI-powered dashboards
- Prior involvement with vendor performance scorecards or large-scale procurement workflows
