VP of Capital Projects, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $200,000/year USD

Opening one school is achievable for most operators. Opening many schools with consistent speed and predictability is not. 2 Hour Learning is constructing a nationwide portfolio of schools engineered to condense a complete day of instruction into two highly focused hours through AI technology. This model depends on expansion execution that is as rigorous as the educational product. This position has been created to deliver that outcome.

Evaluate and approve high-impact site opportunities

• Assess zoning constraints, permitting requirements, cost projections, and timeline viability through structured and AI-supported analysis
• Direct construction managers and clear obstacles
• Deliver launches on time and within budget

Create well-defined, actionable capital project proposals

• Bring stakeholders into alignment on scope, budget, and execution approach

Oversee vendor identification, RFP processes, and contract negotiations

• Emphasis on velocity, quality standards, and cost efficiency

Break down expansion processes into discrete task units

• Implement AI-powered systems that accelerate delivery and increase predictability

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Functioning as a passive project coordinator who waits for status reports from contractors or external partners
• Limited involvement to a single phase (e.g., site acquisition or construction alone) without accountability for the complete result
• Depending on improvised, manual processes that start from scratch with each new site
• Allowing months of stakeholder discussion to delay decisive action
• Forwarding issues upward without personally addressing permitting, design, or construction challenges
• Allowing months of stakeholder discussion to delay decisive action
• Allowing months of stakeholder discussion to delay decisive action

Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of new school location expansion by launching fully operational campuses on reliable schedules while systematically decreasing time, cost, and risk through AI-enhanced systems

Basic Requirements

• Confirmed experience leading a minimum of one real estate development or construction project from site identification through operational launch with complete ownership
• Managing multiple simultaneous construction or capital projects with direct accountability for schedules, coordination, and problem resolution
• Deep working knowledge of zoning regulations, permitting procedures, construction processes, and vendor management, with capability to interface directly with general contractors, architects, and regulatory authorities
• Proven capacity to make informed tradeoff decisions balancing cost, schedule, and feasibility with clear, quantifiable results
• Proven ability to deconstruct complex processes into structured, repeatable frameworks and refine them iteratively
• Track record of deploying tools (AI-based or other) to eliminate manual tasks, speed up decision cycles, or enhance execution velocity
• Strong ownership orientation with capacity to function effectively in uncertain environments and produce tangible outcomes
• Willingness and capacity to travel up to 60% to active construction sites nationwide and be present during pivotal development and opening phases
• Currently based in the US and authorized to work without requiring visa sponsorship

Nice-to-have Requirements

• Experience scaling multi-location development or expansion initiatives
• Demonstrated success in enhancing forecast reliability and shortening project delivery cycles
