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

Opening one school is straightforward. Opening them consistently, reliably, and with increasing speed is rare.2 Hour Learning is creating a nationwide network of schools that condense a complete day of instruction into two concentrated hours through AI. This model depends on expansion being as systematic as the educational product. This role is designed to deliver that. You will manage the complete lifecycle of new school sites—from initial location to operational campus—while constructing the frameworks that make every opening quicker, smoother, and more reliable.This is not a conventional development position. You are not here simply to oversee projects. You are here to remove obstacles from growth. That requires making decisive calls on site feasibility, engaging directly with permitting and construction challenges, negotiating with partners, and pushing timelines forward with intensity. Simultaneously, you will deconstruct each element of this process into organized, AI-enhanced workflows that minimize manual intervention and sharpen forecast precision over time.If you have managed real builds and find yourself frustrated by sluggish timelines, disjointed accountability, and recurring errors, this is your opportunity to solve it—systematically.What You Will Be DoingAssess critical site decisions by confirming zoning compliance, permitting pathways, cost estimates, and timeline viability through structured and AI-supported analysisManage multiple school construction projects at once, directing construction managers, clearing obstacles, and delivering on-time, on-budget launchesCreate clear, actionable capital project proposals that bring stakeholders into alignment on scope, budget, and delivery approachDrive vendor selection, RFP processes, and contract negotiations with an emphasis on velocity, quality, and cost disciplineBreak down expansion workflows into discrete work units and implement AI-powered systems that shorten timelines and increase predictabilityWhat You Won’t Be DoingServing as a passive status monitor awaiting contractor or partner updatesFocusing on a single phase (e.g., site selection alone or construction alone) without accountability for the complete resultDepending on manual, improvised processes that restart with each new sitePassing along issues without directly addressing permitting, design, or construction challenges yourselfTaking extended periods to align stakeholders when a decision needs to be madeVP Of Capital Projects Key ResponsibilitiesTake full ownership of new school location expansion by delivering operational campuses on reliable schedules while progressively lowering time, cost, and risk through AI-enabled systems.Basic RequirementsDemonstrated experience leading at least one real estate development or construction project from site identification through launch with complete ownershipExperience overseeing multiple simultaneous builds or capital projects with direct accountability for schedules, coordination, and problem resolutionDeep fluency in zoning, permitting, construction processes, and vendor coordination, with the capability to work directly with general contractors, architects, and regulatory authoritiesProven ability to make tradeoff decisions balancing cost, schedule, and feasibility with clear, quantifiable resultsExperience refining or organizing complex operational workflows (e.g., permitting processes, design coordination, construction delivery)Proven ability to decompose complex workflows into structured, repeatable frameworks and refine them continuouslyTrack record of applying tools (AI or other) to minimize manual effort, speed up decision-making, or enhance execution velocityStrong ownership orientation with the capability to function in uncertain environments and produce tangible outcomesWillingness and capacity to travel up to 60% to active construction sites nationwide and be present during critical development and opening stagesCurrently based in the US and authorized to work without requiring visa sponsorshipNice-to-have RequirementsExperience scaling multi-site development or expansion initiativesHistory of enhancing forecast accuracy and compressing delivery timelines across multiple projectsAbout 2 Hour LearningEducation is broken, but 2 Hour Learning is proving it doesn’t have to be.
