Senior Vice President Campus Design $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
Description
If you've ever walked into a space and felt, "This is precisely what it should be," and then wondered how to replicate that feeling across 100 locations, this position was designed for you. We're not seeking a conceptual designer. We're seeking the systems architect who can establish a national function that reliably produces premium, branded, and pedagogically coherent environments at scale.
At 2 Hour Learning, our approach inverts the traditional school day. Two hours of concentrated academics. The remainder dedicated to passion, movement, and real-world learning. That fundamental shift requires spaces that are equally deliberate — and we need a leader to drive this initiative. You'll design the systems, standards, and teams that guarantee every campus fulfills that vision. You'll oversee a growing team of regional design leads and vendors, coordinate priorities across departments, and pinpoint the design innovations that advance experience, perception, and retention.
This isn't a role for creative isolation. You'll be in the field, coaching team members, inspecting installations, and refining the playbook as you go. You'll construct the engine that scales exceptional environments — and ensure it operates flawlessly.
What you will be doing
- Establish and oversee a national Space & Design function, including organizational structure, vendor partnerships, and performance frameworks
- Create and refine modular standards, visual identity, and documentation to enable consistent deployment across varied campuses
- Coordinate design investments with CapEx strategy, enrollment expansion, and operational parameters through data-driven planning
- Discover, test, and implement design innovations that enhance student experience, parent perception, and staff satisfaction
- Function as a strategic partner to cross-functional leadership
What you will NOT be doing
- Designing spaces manually — your role is to scale the people and systems who execute
- Pursuing isolated upgrades or vanity initiatives — all work is connected to tangible outcomes and ROI
- Operating as an independent creative leader — this position is fully integrated with planning, execution, and performance
- Leading remotely — you'll travel frequently to remain engaged with on-the-ground execution and team growth
- Preserving the status quo — you'll be required to continuously evolve and enhance the function
Key responsibilities
Establish and lead a scalable design function that guarantees every campus provides a premium, brand-aligned, and pedagogically supportive environment — with quantifiable impact on experience, enrollment, and retention.
Candidate requirements
- 8+ years managing physical environments across a multi-site organization, with at least 25+ locations
- Direct experience designing spaces for UHNW clients or luxury brands, with the ability to identify premium quality in every detail
- Demonstrated ability to build and manage a team, oversee external partners, and organize a national rollout function
- Experience developing and refining standards-based design systems for diverse site types
- Strategic planning capability with cross-functional teams
- Refined taste and judgment, combined with operational and financial discipline
- Based in the U.S., authorized to work without visa sponsorship, and able to travel 50% or more
Nice to have
- Experience in rapidly scaling, brand-conscious environments such as boutique hospitality, premium retail, or networked education
- Portfolio showcasing both physical design excellence and the capacity to scale systems across a portfolio
- Exceptional communication skills with experience presenting to executives, boards, or investors
