- How to execute complex buildouts under compressed schedules: each campus launch represents a delivery cycle that most project managers accumulate over years in other environments
- How to scale project responsibility—micro-campus deployments are the entry point; perform well, and subsequent assignments increase in size, system complexity, vendor count, and geographic reach
- How to integrate functional AI workflows into daily operational tasks: not a supplemental tool, but the core mechanism for drafting scopes, tracking punch lists, and producing handoff documentation
- A field-tested site deployment framework you will execute and refine—your structured feedback from the field directly informs how future campuses are built across the network
Field Operations Specialist $100,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.

Description
Receive the handoff. Open the campus. Move to the next site. Transform an empty building into a fully functioning school—on schedule and operationally complete—then transfer it to the operations team and begin the next deployment in another city. This is rapid-cycle execution, month after month. If that approach aligns with how you prefer to work, read further.
2 Hour Learning operates schools in which students complete their core academics in two hours, then dedicate the remainder of the day to life skills, entrepreneurship, and experiences that traditional schooling rarely accommodates. The results validate the model: students ranking in the top 1–2% nationally and progressing at double the standard rate. But none of this functions unless the campus is prepared. Your responsibility: deliver fully operational school facilities, on time and within budget, across an expanding portfolio of micro schools, growth campuses, and flagship vertical campuses in key metropolitan areas.
Timelines are invariably tight. Transition from building handoff to first day of school in weeks, not months. That requires sequencing vendor activities, monitoring dependencies daily, and leveraging AI to anticipate and resolve every open issue before it causes a delay. After a campus launches, you hand the site to the permanent operations team and proceed to the next buildout.
Begin with micro-campus projects—the most repeatable and fast-moving work in the portfolio. As the network grows to encompass growth and flagship facilities, the scope and complexity of your assignments grow correspondingly.
When a school opens on schedule and students enter on Day 1, your contribution remains invisible. That is the hallmark of success. Apply today through our assessment process: a cognitive evaluation followed by a practical work sample.
What you will be doing
- Overseeing the complete buildout for every assigned campus: managing FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) procurement and installation, interior finishes, IT infrastructure, signage, and play areas from building handoff to opening day
- Executing a compressed project schedule aligned to a fixed opening date: ordering vendor workflows, managing interdependencies, and compressing timelines wherever necessary
- Managing and approving vendor deliverables: issuing scopes of work, overseeing on-site execution, inspecting against specifications, and formally rejecting substandard work
- Deploying AI tools to produce vendor scopes, create punch lists, monitor open tasks, and prepare handoff documentation—this role operates at a pace that demands these efficiencies
- Implementing standardized site activation protocols, confirming operational readiness at completion, capturing structured feedback, and coordinating the transition to the ongoing operations team
What you will NOT be doing
- Overseeing ongoing facility operations once a campus is live: you transition to the permanent ops team and advance to the next buildout
- Executing hands-on installation or trade work: your role is to direct, inspect, and approve—not perform physical labor or technical installation
- Handling real estate acquisition, permitting, or certificate of occupancy processes: by the time you receive the building, those steps are complete
- Operating on a single project with an extended timeline: micro-campus buildouts proceed rapidly, and the pipeline is continuous
- Navigating ambiguous ownership or diffuse accountability: each buildout has a single accountable owner from handoff through launch
Key responsibilities
Deliver fully operational campuses on time and within budget, from building handoff to opening day.
Candidate requirements
- Minimum 2 years in operations, facilities, or project delivery
- Documented experience identifying and correcting a broken process, with measurable outcomes: reduced cost, shortened cycle time, or elevated quality
- Proven ownership of a multi-phase project from start to finish, including documented completion
- Demonstrated capability in vendor management: enforcing quality standards and challenging contractors when performance falls short
- Track record of managing 2 or more concurrent projects or sites without missed deliverables
- Consistent use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) to enhance productivity and maintain organization
- US-based and authorized to work without visa sponsorship
- Willing to travel 60–80% of the time (3–4 days per week)
Nice to have
- Prior involvement in a physical buildout or site activation across any sector: retail, restaurants, healthcare, office environments, or comparable fields
- Experience in construction project management, tenant improvement, commercial fit-out, or facilities management
- Exposure to FF&E, IT deployment, signage, or commercial interior work, even in a support or coordination capacity
- Familiarity with project tracking platforms (Wrike, Notion, Procore, Asana, Monday.com, or similar) for task and timeline management
