Description
You know how to talk to anyone — whether it's the person running the front office or the one who actually gets things done. You're sharp, friendly, and grounded in common sense. Maybe you've never worked in compliance, but you've navigated red tape before and earned people's trust along the way.
At 2 Hour Learning, we're building a new kind of school. One that takes students further in two hours than traditional schools do in six. We use AI to deliver personalized learning and remove the busywork, so kids actually enjoy school again. And when they finish early? They spend their afternoons building life skills, exploring passions, and becoming the kind of people they're meant to be. We're not just changing how kids learn. We're giving them back their time.
That only happens if our campuses open: legally, cleanly, and on time. That's where you come in.
In this role, you'll make the calls, file the paperwork, and get the yes that lets a school open its doors. You'll research state and local requirements, coordinate submissions, and build trusted relationships — with clerks, inspectors, and everyone in between. You'll be the reason students in that city have a place to learn on day one.
You'll work directly with operational leaders and get mentorship from experienced teammates who've done this before. If you're the kind of person who learns fast, takes pride in getting the details right, and likes seeing visible progress, we'll teach you the rest. You'll also use AI tools daily — not as a shortcut, but to find answers faster, write more clearly, and stay three steps ahead.
If you're excited to take ownership, create real-world momentum, and help open schools faster than anyone thought possible, we'd love to hear from you.

What you will be doing
- Research local licensing, permitting, and inspection requirements using AI tools and official sources, then turn them into concise action plans.
