Certain spaces simply work. You instinctively want to understand why. If you're a designer who perceives both micro-details and macro-systems, who thrives in physical environments rather than theoretical presentations, and who believes exceptional, practical spaces can scale nationally, this role channels that sensibility into action. We are constructing a nationwide network of 2 Hour Learning campuses—places where students complete a full academic day in two focused hours, then dedicate the remainder of their time to exploring interests, developing life competencies, and staying active.

Your responsibility is to make these environments memorable. As the execution lead for interior environments across our network, you will establish modular standards governing layout, FF&E, play areas, and way finding. You will ensure precise execution at every location. You will visit campuses in person, identify shortcomings others overlook, define upgrade scopes, and shepherd them from budgeting through installation. This role differs from conventional design positions in that it is not isolated from implementation.

You won't deliver drawings and disengage. You will be present on-site, troubleshooting installations, coaching vendors, and gathering insights that refine subsequent rollouts. If you are prepared to translate your design expertise into nationwide influence, this is your opportunity.

• Build modular, replicable design systems for layout, FF&E, materials, and play environments that adapt across varied campus contexts
• Perform structured on-site evaluations to measure adherence to brand standards and identify high-leverage enhancements
• Produce detailed, visual, budget-aligned proposals for space enhancements tied to pedagogy, brand identity, and parent expectations
• Supervise vendor execution on the ground, maintaining fidelity to standards, budgets, and schedules through live quality assurance
• Document post-installation outcomes—what succeeded, what failed—and refine playbooks with those learnings

• Crafting unique, boutique environments that cannot scale or be reproduced.
• Delivering specifications and disengaging. You own the process from evaluation through installation.
• Waiting for complete information. This role values proactive thinking, rapid iteration, and sound judgment under uncertainty.
• Generating open-ended design concepts in isolation. The work is tightly aligned to brand and operational realities.
• Operating remotely from a desk. Expect to be in the field 50-75% of your time.

Guarantee that every campus provides a premium, brand-consistent, and pedagogically effective physical environment by developing and implementing modular design frameworks that maintain quality at scale.

• 5+ years delivering multi-site environment design in sectors such as education, retail, hospitality, or co-working
• Portfolio demonstrating completed projects that integrate aesthetic excellence with operational feasibility
• Proven track record building repeatable, standards-driven design systems rather than solely custom environments
• Hands‑on management of vendor execution, including quality control and schedule adherence during installation
• Excellent documentation practices and communication skills with cross‑functional, non‑design team members
• Comfortable with frequent travel, 50-75% of the time, throughout the United States
• Located in the U.S. and authorized to work without requiring visa sponsorship

• Background in designing premium environments with rigorous standards, including boutique hospitality, luxury retail, or bespoke client projects
• Proficiency in spatial documentation tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, Figma, or similar platforms
• Intuitive sense for elevating a space's quality and presence, even within constrained budgets
