Interior Design 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 enter a room and immediately recognize whether it feels intentional or improvised. You observe lighting warmth, visual clutter, visible cables, furniture arrangement, and overall atmosphere. Once something feels wrong, you cannot ignore it. If you want to establish 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 daily, then dedicate afternoons to life skills and personal passion projects. As campuses grow nationwide, the physical spaces must reflect the vision: composed, purposeful, unconventional, and clearly premium. This position exists to establish that benchmark and ensure it scales consistently across all locations.
You will establish the design direction, convert it into floor plans that diverge from conventional classroom layouts, and document standards to prevent brand dilution during expansion. This is not about managing contractors or overseeing facilities. It is high-judgment, high-speed design execution within real constraints and with substantial visibility.
If you possess the discernment to define a new category and the agility to deliver without compromise, we want to speak with you.
What you will be doing
- Developing comprehensive campus design vision packages (philosophy, mood boards, material palettes, lighting character, furniture strategy) that communicate premium quality and eliminate traditional school aesthetics
- Generating detailed spatial layouts that support adaptable learning zones, intuitive circulation, and coherent lighting and environmental principles
- Establishing and maintaining design standards and guidelines that ensure campus-to-campus consistency while allowing flexibility for varied building footprints
- Executing rapid iteration cycles on active campuses by identifying retrofit opportunities and creating prioritized improvement lists that enhance refinement without impacting launch schedules
What you will NOT be doing
- Coordinating vendors, selecting contractors, or handling procurement processes
- Supervising construction, maintenance activities, or executive-level facility operations
- Creating generic "attractive" private school interiors featuring bright primary palettes and institutional materials
- Pursuing perfection in ways that compromise launch deadlines
Key responsibilities
This position is accountable for ensuring every campus opens and develops with a category-defining, premium, unconventional physical environment that maintains consistency across scale.
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 3 years of experience in interior, spatial, environmental, or experiential design
- Portfolio demonstrating premium physical environments (e.g., hospitality, luxury residential, boutique commercial, cruise ship, or experiential)
- Demonstrated capability to independently develop mood boards and comprehensive concept direction for spaces
- Demonstrated capability to produce spatial layouts that enhance flow, density, and user experience
- Deep material and lighting knowledge (finishes, texture, lighting tone, and their emotional impact)
- Exceptional aesthetic judgment evidenced by restraint, proportion, and attention to detail
- Proficiency with AI tools or clear track record of quickly adopting emerging design technologies
- Authorization to work in the United States in a hybrid arrangement requiring 50–70% travel to campus locations
Nice to have
- Background designing scalable multi-location environments with documented standards and templates
- Background designing unconventional learning, community, or wellness environments with adaptable seating configurations
- Advanced rapid visualization/rendering abilities that accelerate concept iteration and decision cycles
