Interior Design Specialist $100,000 USD/year Pay is set based on global value, not the local market.
Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks
Description
You step into a room and immediately sense whether the design is deliberate or makeshift. You register lighting quality, spatial clutter, cable management, seating arrangements, and overall atmosphere. Once something feels misaligned, you cannot ignore it. If you are ready to shape the visual and experiential definition of "high-performance school," this opportunity is designed for you.
2 Hour Learning is developing AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in only two hours each day, followed by afternoons dedicated to life skills and passion-based exploration. As campuses expand nationwide, the physical setting must reflect the educational model: purposeful, refined, unconventional, and undeniably premium. This position establishes that benchmark and ensures replicability across every location.
You will establish the design framework, convert it into floor plans that depart from conventional classroom layouts, and document standards to maintain brand consistency during growth. This is neither a vendor coordination role nor a facilities management position. It is sophisticated, fast-moving design execution under practical constraints with tangible impact.
If you possess the discernment to establish a new category and the efficiency to deliver without compromising quality, we want to speak with you.
What you will be doing
- Developing campus design vision packages (philosophy, mood boards, material selections, lighting character, furniture guidance) that convey premium quality and reject conventional school aesthetics
- Generating detailed spatial layouts that support flexible learning environments, intuitive circulation, and coherent lighting and atmospheric principles
- Establishing and curating design standards and parameters that ensure campus-to-campus consistency while accommodating varying building configurations
- Executing rapid refinement cycles on active campuses by identifying retrofit opportunities and producing prioritized action lists that enhance finish quality without compromising opening schedules
What you will NOT be doing
- Coordinating vendors, identifying contractors, or handling procurement activities
- Supervising construction timelines, maintenance schedules, or executive-level facility management
- Creating "attractive" standard private school interiors featuring bold primary palettes and institutional materials
- Pursuing perfection when it conflicts with launch deadlines
Key responsibilities
This position ensures every campus opens and evolves with a category-defining, premium, non-traditional physical environment that remains consistent as the organization scales.
Candidate 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
- 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
