Job Description
You enter a room and immediately sense whether it's thoughtfully designed or hastily assembled. The warmth of the lighting, the presence or absence of clutter, visible cables, how seating is arranged, the overall atmosphere—you register all of it. Once something feels wrong, you can't ignore it. If you're ready to shape the look and feel of what a "high-performance school" truly is, this role offers you that opportunity.
2 Hour Learning is creating AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in two hours each day, then dedicate their afternoons to life skills and passion-based exploration. As campuses open across the United States, the physical spaces must reflect the vision: composed, purposeful, unconventional, and distinctly premium. This position exists to establish that benchmark and ensure it can be replicated reliably at every location.
You will establish the design direction, transform it into spatial layouts that depart from conventional classroom models, and document standards so brand integrity remains intact during growth. This is not about coordinating vendors or managing facilities operations. It is focused, high‑judgment design work delivered at speed, within real constraints, and with tangible impact.
If you possess the discernment to define a new category and the execution discipline to deliver without compromise, we want to speak with you.
What You Will Be Doing
Developing comprehensive design vision packages for campuses (philosophy, mood boards, material palettes, lighting character, furniture guidelines) that communicate premium quality and eliminate traditional school aesthetics
Generating detailed spatial layouts that support adaptable learning environments, intuitive circulation, and coherent lighting and environmental strategies
Establishing and maintaining design standards and frameworks that ensure visual consistency across all campuses while accommodating varied building footprints
Executing rapid improvement cycles at active campuses by identifying refinement opportunities and delivering actionable priority lists that enhance finish quality without disrupting opening schedules
What You Won’t Be Doing
Coordinating vendors, engaging contractors, or handling procurement processes
Supervising construction activities, maintenance tasks, or executive‑level facility management
Creating visually appealing but generic private school interiors featuring bold primary colors and institutional surface treatments
Pursuing ideal outcomes at the expense of meeting launch deadlines
Spatial And Interior Designer Key Responsibilities
This role is accountable for ensuring that each campus opens and matures with a category-defining, premium, unconventional physical environment that remains coherent as the organization scales.
Basic Requirements
Minimum 3 years of experience in interior, spatial, environmental, or experiential design
Demonstrated portfolio of premium physical environments (e.g., hospitality, luxury residential, boutique commercial, cruise ship, or experiential)
Proven ability to independently create mood boards and end-to-end concept direction for spaces
Proven ability to create spatial layouts that optimize flow, density, and user experience
Strong material and lighting literacy (finishes, texture, lighting tone, and how they shape emotion)
High‑caliber aesthetic judgment with clear examples of restraint, proportion, and detail control
Comfort using AI tools or strong evidence of rapid adoption of new design tools
Ability to work in the United States in a hybrid setup with 50–70% travel to campuses
Nice‑to‑have Requirements
Experience designing repeatable multi‑site environments with clear standards and templates
Experience designing non‑traditional learning, community, or wellness spaces with flexible seating zones
Strong rapid visualization/rendering skills that speed up concept iteration and decision‑making
