Regulatory & Permitting Specialist $100,000 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're not here to manage paperwork — you're here to bring real schools to life.
At 2 Hour Learning, we're rethinking education to return students' time to them. Our approach condenses a traditional school day into two focused hours through AI-driven personalization, allowing children to spend their afternoons developing practical skills instead of remaining seated in classrooms. But before any of this innovation takes shape, a school must open — lawfully, securely, and punctually. That's your mission.
In this position, you won't be drafting policy from behind a desk or overseeing from afar. You'll be in the field (and traveling regularly), converting a signed lease into a functioning campus: investigating local permitting requirements, contacting inspectors, securing necessary approvals, coordinating with contractors, and leveraging AI tools to expedite school launches by weeks beyond typical expectations. You'll collaborate directly with experienced operators and construction crews — not from an office, but on active sites and inside municipal buildings, delivering outcomes you can identify and say, "That campus opened because I made it happen."
This position is designed for a quick study who seeks more than just résumé padding. You'll deliver meaningful outcomes, assume ownership from day one, and accelerate your professional growth. If you're someone who thrives on transforming disorder into executable plans and conversations into confirmed permits, we'd like to hear from you.
What you will be doing
- Investigating local regulatory frameworks and converting bureaucratic complexity into actionable roadmaps using AI tools and authoritative sources
- Preparing and filing accurate, thorough documentation — including licenses, inspection requests, and exemptions — and monitoring progress through to approval
- Contacting municipal staff, aligning contractor schedules, and ensuring construction progress stays synchronized with regulatory timelines
- Maintaining trackers and dashboards to provide teams with visibility into completed items, pending blockers, and upcoming priorities
- Traveling 3-4 days per week to U.S. cities to advance campus openings on-site
What you will NOT be doing
- Sitting at a desk speculating about rules — you'll confirm details directly from authoritative sources
- Waiting for direction from others — this role values proactive initiative over passive compliance
- Wasting hours drafting generic text — we employ AI to accelerate clarity, not produce filler
- Getting lost in theoretical planning — this is hands-on execution work with firm deadlines and tangible results
- Spending your life in transit hubs — travel is frequent but strategic, purposeful, and fully reimbursed
Key responsibilities
Enable compliant, timely campus launches by integrating AI-powered research, construction coordination, and proactive stakeholder management across multiple jurisdictions.
Candidate requirements
- Based in the U.S. and authorized to work without visa sponsorship
- Willing to travel 60-80% of the time across U.S. cities and states
- Demonstrated use of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Perplexity) for research, planning, or communication
- Confident communicator — warm on the phone, clear in writing, effective with stakeholders
- Track record of meeting or exceeding deadlines in fast-paced environments
- Detail-obsessed — every form, signature, and follow-up is on point
- High learning velocity — quickly understands new regulatory systems, processes, or tools
- Comfortable juggling projects, timelines, and external partners simultaneously
Nice to have
- Experience in construction-adjacent, operations-heavy, or compliance-adjacent roles (internships count)
- Background in public policy, business, communications, or legal studies
- Past experience solving messy logistical problems in jobs, internships, or volunteer roles
