Spatial and Interior Designer $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 walk into a room and immediately recognize whether it feels premium or improvised. You observe the color temperature of the lighting, the presence of clutter, visible cables, seating arrangement, and overall atmosphere. Once you detect what's misaligned, you can't ignore it. If you're ready to establish the visual and experiential identity of a "high-performance school," this role offers you that opportunity.
2 Hour Learning is developing AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in only two hours daily, then dedicate afternoons to life skills and passion-based exploration. As campuses open throughout the United States, the physical setting must align with the educational model: composed, purposeful, unconventional, and distinctly premium. This position exists to define that benchmark and ensure it scales reliably across all locations.
You will establish the design direction, transform it into spatial plans that depart from conventional classroom formats, and document standards to preserve brand integrity during growth. This is neither a vendor coordination position nor a facilities management function. It is sophisticated, fast-paced design execution within practical constraints and under direct scrutiny.
If you possess the discernment to shape a new category and the efficiency to deliver without compromise, we want to speak with you.
What you will be doing
- Developing campus design vision packages (philosophy, mood boards, material selections, lighting character, furniture guidelines) that communicate premium quality and reject conventional school aesthetics
- Generating detailed spatial layouts that support adaptable learning environments, intuitive circulation, and coherent lighting and environmental logic
- Establishing and managing design standards and parameters that ensure campus-to-campus consistency while accommodating site-specific conditions
- Executing rapid iteration cycles at operational campuses by identifying refinement opportunities and producing ranked improvement lists that enhance finish quality without postponing openings
What you will NOT be doing
- Coordinating vendors, identifying contractors, or handling procurement processes
- Supervising construction activities, maintenance schedules, or executive-level facilities management
- Producing "attractive" conventional private school interiors featuring vivid primary palettes and institutional materials
- Pursuing ideal outcomes at the expense of opening schedules
Key responsibilities
This role ensures every campus opens and matures with a category-defining, premium, unconventional physical environment that maintains consistency as the organization scales.
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 3 years of experience in interior, spatial, environmental, or experiential design
- Demonstrated portfolio of premium physical environments (e.g., hospitality, luxury residential, boutique commercial, cruise ship, or experiential)
- Proven ability to independently create mood boards and end-to-end concept direction for spaces
- Proven ability to create spatial layouts that optimize flow, density, and user experience
- Strong material and lighting literacy (finishes, texture, lighting tone, and how they shape emotion)
- High-caliber aesthetic judgment with clear examples of restraint, proportion, and detail control
- Comfort using AI tools or strong evidence of rapid adoption of new design tools
- Ability to work in the United States in a hybrid setup with 50–70% travel to campuses
Nice to have
- Experience designing repeatable multi-site environments with clear standards and templates
- Experience designing non-traditional learning, community, or wellness spaces with flexible seating zones
- Strong rapid visualization/rendering skills that speed up concept iteration and decision-making
