Senior Spatial Designer $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 it feels deliberate or improvised. You register lighting quality, spatial clutter, visible cables, seat arrangement, and atmosphere. Once something feels wrong, you can't ignore it. If you're ready to shape the visual and experiential definition of "high-performance school," this role offers that opportunity.
2 Hour Learning is creating AI-powered private schools in which students complete core academics in two hours daily, then transition to afternoons centered on life skills and personal interests. As campuses multiply nationwide, the built environment must reflect the mission: composed, purposeful, distinct from convention, and unmistakably premium. This position establishes that benchmark and ensures consistency across all locations.
You will establish the design framework, translate it into floor plans that depart from conventional classroom models, and document standards to preserve brand integrity during growth. This is not about managing suppliers or overseeing facility operations. It is focused, high-judgment design execution under real constraints with high visibility.
If you possess the discernment to set a new standard and the efficiency to deliver without compromise, we invite your application.
What you will be doing
- Developing campus design vision documents (philosophy, mood boards, material palettes, lighting character, furniture guidance) that communicate premium quality and avoid conventional school aesthetics
- Generating detailed floor plans that support adaptable learning areas, effective circulation, and coherent lighting and environmental principles
- Establishing and refining design standards and parameters that ensure campus-to-campus consistency while accommodating varied spatial configurations
- Executing rapid improvement cycles at operational campuses by identifying refinement opportunities and producing prioritized action lists that enhance finish quality without disrupting opening schedules
What you will NOT be doing
- Coordinating vendors, selecting contractors, or handling procurement activities
- Supervising construction processes, maintenance tasks, or senior-level facility management
- Producing "attractive" standard private school interiors featuring vivid primary palettes and institutional materials
- Pursuing unattainable perfection at the expense of launch schedules
Key responsibilities
This position ensures that every campus opens and matures with a category-defining, premium, non-traditional built 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
