VP Portfolio 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
You've tracked progress. Built status reports. Managed timelines. Escalated issues. But your output stopped at insight—someone else owned the decision.
At 2 Hour Learning, that changes. We're constructing the world's most efficient AI-powered education system—delivering a complete school day in two hours while preserving academic outcomes. Supporting that mission is a $50M portfolio of high-velocity EdTech programs. Your execution will determine whether these programs deliver on schedule, within budget, and to specification.
You'll run the operational backbone that enforces vendor accountability. Build real-time dashboards leadership depends on. Create vendor scorecards that trigger decisions. Lead competitive bid cycles and audit every line item billed. When a vendor underperforms, you surface it. When an invoice doesn't match scope, you escalate it. Your work doesn't inform strategy—it enforces it.
This role is designed for operators seeking authority, not adjacency. If you're prepared to join a position where precision is non-negotiable, AI amplifies your impact, and your outputs directly influence which vendors are retained, expanded, or replaced, let's connect.
What you will be doing
- Operate live, AI-enhanced dashboards spanning 25+ initiatives—guaranteeing data accuracy, stakeholder visibility, and schedule adherence
- Conduct vendor performance reviews, develop rubric-driven scorecards, and generate insights that inform scope reductions, budget shifts, or vendor exits
- Prepare dual-bid procurement materials with structured vendor comparisons and defined scopes—enabling informed vendor selection
- Monitor contract and billing accuracy—validating that every expenditure corresponds to deliverables, approved caps, and executed agreements
- Deploy AI tools daily to identify discrepancies, generate reports, pursue updates, and enhance every deliverable
What you will NOT be doing
- Attending status calls while programs drift off-track without visibility
- Outsourcing AI-driven tasks to junior staff or relying on others to maintain operational tools
- Allowing invoice discrepancies or vendor delays to pass unnoticed
- Creating progress reports that generate discussion but produce no outcomes
- Operating on assumptions or intuition—all your work is data-driven and decision-grade
Key responsibilities
Deliver the dashboards, scorecards, procurement packages, and contract oversight that fuel a $50M operational system and enforce continuous vendor performance management.
Candidate requirements
- Direct ownership of multi-initiative portfolio or program execution ($5M+ in scope), involving active vendor coordination
- Designed and sustained dashboards, scorecards, or monitoring frameworks that executive leadership used to guide decisions—not just operational teams
- Track record conducting vendor performance meetings, preparing competitive bid materials, and supporting contract execution
- Practical understanding of contracts, statements of work, and invoicing—with demonstrated ability to identify and escalate inconsistencies
- Exceptional written communication—your documentation drives action, not additional discussion
- Routine application of AI tools to automate processes, extract insights, and enhance output quality
- US-based, available for 25% domestic travel, and authorized to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship
Nice to have
- Background in EdTech, management consulting, or high-growth operational environments
- Proficiency with platforms such as Linear, Notion, Jira, or proprietary AI-powered dashboards
- Prior involvement with vendor performance frameworks or enterprise-scale procurement
