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

Opening one school is achievable for most operators. Opening many schools—reliably, systematically, and with increasing speed—is a different challenge entirely. 2 Hour Learning is establishing a nationwide network of schools that condense a complete day of instruction into two concentrated hours through artificial intelligence. For this model to scale, expansion must be as methodical and efficient as the educational product. This role is designed to ensure that outcome.

What You Will Be Doing

• Execute critical site assessments by validating zoning requirements, permitting pathways, cost estimates, and timeline constraints through structured and AI-supported evaluation
• Oversee multiple concurrent school construction projects, directing construction managers, unblocking obstacles, and guaranteeing delivery on schedule and within budget
• Produce actionable capital project proposals that bring stakeholders into alignment on scope, budget, and implementation approach
• Drive vendor selection processes, RFP management, and contract negotiations with an emphasis on velocity, quality assurance, and cost discipline
• Break down expansion processes into modular work components and implement AI-powered systems that accelerate timelines and enhance reliability

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Serving as a passive coordinator who waits for status reports from contractors or external partners
• Focusing narrowly on a single stage (such as site acquisition or construction only) without accountability for the complete result
• Depending on informal, one-off methods that require reinvention for each new site
• Elevating issues without personally intervening to resolve permitting, design, or construction roadblocks
• Prolonging stakeholder alignment cycles without forcing timely decisions

Key Responsibilities

• Take full accountability for the end-to-end expansion of new school sites by delivering operational campuses on consistent timelines while systematically decreasing duration, expense, and uncertainty through AI-enabled infrastructure.

Basic Requirements

• Verified experience managing at least one real estate development or construction initiative from site identification through launch with complete ownership
• Background overseeing multiple simultaneous builds or capital investments with direct accountability for scheduling, coordination, and resolution of obstacles
• Deep working knowledge of zoning regulations, permitting procedures, construction practices, and vendor management, with the capability to engage directly with general contractors, architects, and regulatory authorities
• Proven capacity to make informed tradeoff decisions balancing cost, schedule, and feasibility with quantifiable results
• Confirmed ability to refine or establish complex operational processes (such as permitting workflows, design coordination, or construction execution)
• Demonstrable use of tools (including AI or automation) to minimize manual tasks, expedite decision cycles, or increase execution velocity
• Strong ownership orientation with the capacity to function effectively amid uncertainty and deliver tangible results
• Readiness and ability to travel up to 60% to active construction sites nationwide and maintain presence during pivotal development and opening phases
• 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
• Documented success improving forecast precision and shortening project delivery cycles
