Director of Retail Operations, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000/year USD

ARCHITECT THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION: SVP OPERATIONS

2 Hour Learning is launching 25–30 new school campuses in the next six months. This isn't just expansion—it's a revolution in education requiring masterful execution across physical infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and financial models.

We're seeking exceptional operational leaders who build systems that scale, drive results without excuses, and thrive in high-visibility environments where decisions matter. If you've proven yourself in elite consulting and operational leadership, we'll match your expertise to one of our critical tracks: Regulatory, Campus Build-out, Systems & Onboarding, or Financial Operations.

This is where post-consulting careers reach their potential—full ownership, direct founder access, and the mandate to transform American education at scale.

What You Will Be Doing

Depending on your operational track, you will:

• Architect and execute regulatory strategy across multiple states, securing all approvals needed for rapid expansion
• Lead end-to-end campus development—from site selection through construction management to opening day readiness
• Design and implement scalable onboarding systems and operational infrastructure that support exponential growth
• Build sophisticated financial models and reporting frameworks that drive strategic decisions across our school network
  
  

Across all tracks, you'll operate with complete ownership, cross-functional authority, and direct accountability for results. You deliver, period.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Following established processes—you'll create the systems and playbooks that define operational excellence
• Managing incremental improvements—this is transformational work requiring bold, decisive leadership
• Focusing on a single location or narrow workstream—you'll orchestrate multiple parallel launches with precision
• Delegating critical decisions—you'll own the hard calls and their outcomes
• Producing recommendations without implementation—this is execution, not advisory work

• Exceptional expertise in at least one critical domain:

• Managing complex physical build-outs with multiple vendors and tight timelines
