Senior 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 step into a room and immediately sense whether it feels premium or improvised. You register lighting warmth, visual clutter, exposed cables, seating arrangement, and overall atmosphere. Once something feels misaligned, you cannot ignore it. If you are ready to shape what a "high-performance school" should look and feel like, this role offers that opportunity.
2 Hour Learning is creating AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in two hours each day, then dedicate afternoons to life skills and passion-based pursuits. As campuses expand nationwide, the physical spaces must reflect the vision: composed, purposeful, unconventional, and unmistakably refined. This position establishes that benchmark and ensures it scales consistently across all locations.
You will establish the design framework, develop spatial plans that challenge traditional classroom layouts, and document standards to preserve brand integrity during growth. This is not about managing vendors or overseeing facilities. It is focused, high-caliber design execution within real constraints and high visibility.
If you possess the discernment to establish a new category and the efficiency to execute without compromise, we want to speak with you.
What you will be doing
- Developing campus design vision documentation (philosophy, mood boards, material selections, lighting character, furniture guidelines) that communicates premium quality and avoids conventional school aesthetics
- Generating detailed spatial layouts that support adaptable learning areas, intuitive circulation, and unified lighting and environmental principles
- Establishing and maintaining design frameworks and boundaries that ensure campus consistency while accommodating varied building configurations
- Executing rapid refinement cycles on active campuses by identifying improvement opportunities and creating prioritized action lists that enhance finish quality without compromising opening schedules
What you will NOT be doing
- Coordinating vendors, identifying contractors, or handling procurement processes
- Supervising construction, maintenance operations, or senior-level facilities management
- Creating conventional "attractive" private school interiors featuring vivid primary palettes and institutional materials
- Pursuing flawless execution at the expense of project timelines
Key responsibilities
This position ensures that every campus opens and develops with a distinctive, refined, unconventional physical environment that remains coherent across locations.
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
