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

Opening a school is straightforward. Opening dozens of them on schedule, within budget, and with increasing efficiency is not. 2 Hour Learning is establishing a nationwide system of schools that delivers a complete day of education in two concentrated hours through artificial intelligence. Success depends on expansion that is as disciplined and reliable as the educational model. This position is designed to ensure that outcome.

Create Detailed Capital Project Plans

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

Manage Vendor Qualification, RFP Processes, and Contract Negotiations

• Emphasize execution speed, deliverable quality, and financial discipline

Break Down Expansion Processes into Discrete Operational Units

• Forwarding issues upward without personally addressing permitting, design, or construction barriers
• Consuming extended periods in stakeholder alignment without producing a concrete decision
• Forwarding issues upward without personally addressing permitting, design, or construction barriers

Key Responsibilities

Basic Requirements

• Verified track record leading at least one real estate development or construction initiative from site acquisition through operational launch with complete accountability
• Experience overseeing multiple simultaneous construction or capital projects with direct ownership of schedules, coordination, and problem resolution
• Deep working knowledge of zoning regulations, permitting procedures, construction execution, and vendor management, with capability to interact directly with general contractors, architects, and regulatory authorities
• Proven capacity to evaluate tradeoffs involving cost, schedule, and feasibility with documented, quantifiable results
• Experience refining or systematizing complex operational processes (such as permitting workflows, design coordination, or construction delivery)
• Confirmed ability to deconstruct intricate workflows into organized, scalable systems and enhance them continuously
• Track record of applying technology (AI or other tools) to eliminate manual tasks, speed up decisions, or enhance execution velocity
• Strong sense of ownership with capability to function effectively amid uncertainty and produce tangible outcomes
• Willingness and capacity to travel up to 60% to operational school sites nationwide and maintain on-site presence during pivotal development and opening milestones

Current Requirements

• Currently based in the United States and authorized to work without requiring visa sponsorship

Nice-to-Have Requirements

• Experience scaling multi-location development or expansion initiatives
• Demonstrated success improving schedule forecast precision and shortening project delivery cycles
