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

Most school operators can launch a single location. Very few can replicate that process reliably, with increasing speed and precision each time. 2 Hour Learning is constructing a nationwide school network engineered to deliver a complete day's education in two concentrated hours through AI technology. This approach succeeds only when expansion mirrors the exactness of the educational product. This position was created to ensure that outcome. You will control the entire development cycle for new school sites—from undeveloped property to fully functional campus—while simultaneously creating systems that accelerate and refine each future launch. This is not a conventional facilities development position. Your mandate is not simply to oversee projects. Your mandate is to remove obstacles from the expansion pathway. That requires decisive judgment on site suitability, direct engagement with permitting and construction challenges, vendor negotiation, and relentless timeline management. Concurrently, you will deconstruct each stage of this process into systematic, AI-enhanced workflows that minimize manual intervention and sharpen forecasting precision progressively. What You Will Be Doing Execute critical site evaluation decisions by confirming zoning compliance, permitting requirements, cost parameters, and timeline viability through structured, AI-supported analysis Manage several school construction projects concurrently, directing construction managers, eliminating obstacles, and guaranteeing timely, budget-compliant openings Create transparent, actionable capital project proposals that secure stakeholder alignment on scope, budget, and implementation approach Direct vendor evaluation, RFP processes, and contract negotiations with emphasis on velocity, quality standards, and cost discipline Break down expansion processes into discrete work components and construct AI-powered systems that reduce timelines and enhance predictability What You Won’t Be Doing Functioning as a detached project monitor dependent on status reports from contractors or external partners Limiting your focus to a single development stage (such as site selection alone or construction alone) rather than controlling the complete result Depending on improvised, manual methods that start from scratch with each new site Referring issues upward without personally addressing permitting, design, or construction obstacles Consuming extended periods building consensus without advancing toward a definitive decision VP Of Facilities Development Key Responsibilities Control the complete expansion lifecycle for new school sites by delivering operational campuses on reliable schedules while systematically decreasing time, expenditure, and uncertainty through AI-enabled systems.
