- How to execute complex buildouts under tight deadlines: every campus opening is a delivery cycle that most project managers spend years accumulating in other environments
- How to advance in project complexity — you'll start with micro-campus buildouts; perform well, and your next assignment will involve more systems, more vendors, greater complexity, and additional cities
- How to integrate AI workflows into daily operational practice: not as an occasional tool, but as the foundation for drafting scopes, tracking punch lists, and documenting handoffs
- A repeatable site deployment framework you'll execute and refine — your structured on-site feedback directly influences how future campuses are built throughout the network

Description
Take an empty building. Turn it into a fully operational school. Hand it off on time, then move to the next city. This is back-to-back campus delivery, one opening after another. If that kind of pace appeals to you, read on.
2 Hour Learning operates schools where students complete their academic work in two hours, freeing the rest of the day for life skills, entrepreneurship, and experiences traditional schools don't make room for. The approach delivers measurable outcomes: students ranking in the top 1-2% nationally, progressing at double the typical rate. None of that happens unless the campus is ready. Your job is to make sure it is: deliver fully functional school sites, on schedule and within budget, across an expanding network of micro schools, growth campuses, and flagship vertical campuses in major metropolitan areas.
Timelines are tight. You'll go from building handoff to first day of school in weeks, not months. That requires sequencing vendor activity, monitoring dependencies every day, and leveraging AI to keep every open task under control before it causes a slip. Once a campus is live, you hand it to the ongoing operations team and shift to the next build.
You'll begin with micro-campus buildouts — the quickest and most standardized projects in the pipeline. As the network grows to include growth and flagship sites, the scale and complexity of what you manage will grow with it.
When a school opens on schedule and students arrive on Day 1, your name stays in the background. That's what success looks like here. Apply now via our assessment process: a cognitive test followed by a hands-on work sample.
What you will be doing
- Overseeing the complete buildout for every assigned campus: managing FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) sourcing and installation, interior finishes, IT infrastructure, signage, and playspace setup from building handoff to opening day
- Executing a compressed timeline against a fixed opening date: organizing vendor workflows, managing interdependencies, and finding ways to accelerate when the schedule demands it
- Managing and accepting vendor deliverables: issuing scopes of work, overseeing on-site execution, inspecting against specifications, and formally rejecting work that doesn't meet standards
- Leveraging AI tools to produce vendor scopes, create punch lists, monitor open items, and assemble handoff documentation — the pace of this role makes it necessary, not optional
- Implementing standardized deployment playbooks, confirming site readiness upon completion, capturing structured feedback, and preparing the handoff to the permanent operations team
What you will NOT be doing
- Running day-to-day facility operations once a campus is open: you transfer responsibility to the ongoing ops team and proceed to the next project
- Doing hands-on installation or trade work yourself: your role is to direct, inspect, and approve — not to install equipment or pull wiring
- Handling real estate acquisition, permitting, or certificate of occupancy work: by the time you take over, those steps are complete
- Working on one project at a leisurely pace: micro-campus buildouts happen quickly, and there's always another one queued up
- Navigating ambiguous ownership or shared accountability: every buildout has a single responsible owner from handoff to opening
Key responsibilities
Deliver fully functional campuses on schedule and within budget, from building handoff to opening day.
Candidate requirements
- A minimum of 2 years in operations, facilities, or project delivery roles
- Documented experience identifying and resolving a broken process, with measurable outcomes: cost reduction, time savings, or quality improvement
- Track record of owning a multi-phase project from start to finish, including documented completion
- Proven vendor management capability: enforce quality standards and challenge contractors when they fall short
- Experience managing 2 or more concurrent projects or sites without missing deliverables
- Consistent use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) to increase speed and maintain organization
- US-based and authorized to work without requiring 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 launch in any sector: retail, food service, healthcare, office space, or comparable
- Experience in construction project management, tenant improvement, commercial fit-out, or facilities management
- Familiarity with FF&E, IT deployment, signage, or commercial interior work, even in a supporting or coordination capacity
- Experience using project management software (Wrike, Notion, Procore, Asana, Monday.com, or similar) to track tasks or schedules
