- How to execute complex buildouts under compressed schedules: every campus launch represents delivery experience that typically takes years to accumulate in other project management roles
- How to advance in project scale — micro-campus buildouts are your starting point; perform well, and your next assignment will involve greater scope, additional systems, more vendors, increased complexity, and new cities
- How to construct functional AI workflows integrated into daily operational work: not a supplementary tool, but the core system driving scope drafting, punch list tracking, and handoff documentation
- A validated site deployment methodology that you'll execute and refine — your systematic field feedback directly influences how subsequent campuses are built across the network

Description
Take a vacant building. Transform it into a fully operational school. Hand it over. Repeat. You'll turn raw spaces into functioning campuses on schedule and ready for students, then transfer ownership to the operations team and launch the next site in another city. This is high-velocity project delivery, executed monthly. If this pace appeals to you, continue reading.
2 Hour Learning operates schools in which students complete their core academics in two hours, dedicating the remainder of the day to life skills, entrepreneurship, and opportunities traditional schooling rarely accommodates. The model delivers measurable outcomes: students placing in the top 1-2% nationally and progressing at double the standard rate. None of this is possible without campus readiness. Your responsibility: deliver fully functional school sites, on schedule and within budget, across an expanding portfolio of micro schools, growth campuses, and flagship vertical campuses in major metropolitan areas.
Timelines are always tight. You'll move from building handoff to opening day in weeks, not months. This requires coordinating vendor workflows, monitoring dependencies in real time, and leveraging AI to address every outstanding task before it causes a delay. After a campus launches, you'll transition the site to the permanent operations team and advance to the next buildout.
You'll begin with micro-campus projects — the most agile and repeatable builds in the portfolio. As the network grows to include growth and flagship locations, the scope and complexity of your projects will scale accordingly.
When a school opens on schedule and students arrive on Day 1, your contribution goes unnoticed. That's success. Apply today via our assessment process: a cognitive evaluation and a practical work sample.
What you will be doing
- Overseeing the complete buildout for each assigned campus: managing FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) procurement and installation, interior construction, IT infrastructure, signage, and playspace from building handoff to opening day
- Executing a condensed delivery timeline against a fixed opening date: organizing vendor workstreams, controlling project dependencies, and expediting work wherever the schedule demands
- Managing and approving vendor deliverables: issuing scopes, overseeing on-site execution, inspecting against specifications, and formally rejecting work that fails to meet standards
- Leveraging AI tools to create vendor scopes, produce punch lists, monitor open items, and compile handoff documentation — the pace of this role demands this approach
- Implementing standardized site deployment playbooks, confirming readiness upon completion, capturing structured feedback, and orchestrating the transition to the ongoing operations team
What you will NOT be doing
- Operating ongoing facility management after a campus launches: you transition to the permanent ops team and proceed to the next project
- Conducting hands-on trades or installation tasks: your role is to direct, inspect, and approve — not perform physical labor or technical installations
- Handling real estate acquisition, permitting, or certificate of occupancy processes: these are completed before the building is assigned to you
- Working on a single project at a measured pace: micro-campus buildouts advance quickly, and the next one is always queued
- Navigating ambiguous ownership or divided accountability: every buildout is owned by one person from handoff to opening day
Key responsibilities
Deliver fully operational 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
- Proven ability to identify and resolve a broken process, supported by measurable outcomes: cost reduction, time savings, or quality improvement
- Track record of owning a multi-phase project from start to finish, including documented completion
- Strong vendor management capabilities: enforce quality standards with contractors and challenge substandard performance
- Experience managing 2 or more concurrent projects or sites without losing control of deliverables
- Consistent use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or equivalent) to increase efficiency and maintain organization
- Located in the US 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 activation across any sector: retail, restaurants, healthcare, offices, or comparable environments
- Experience in construction project management, tenant improvement, commercial fit-out, or facilities management
- Hands-on familiarity with FF&E, IT deployment, signage, or commercial interior work, even in a supporting or coordination capacity
- Experience using a project tracking platform (Wrike, Notion, Procore, Asana, Monday.com, or similar) for task and timeline management
