Spatial and Interior 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 enter a space and immediately recognize whether it feels premium or cobbled together. You register the lighting warmth, the clutter, the visible cables, the seating arrangement, and the overall atmosphere. And once you spot what's wrong, you cannot ignore it. If you want to shape what a "high-performance school" looks and feels like, this role offers that opportunity.
2 Hour Learning is developing AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in just two hours daily, then dedicate afternoons to life skills and passion-driven pursuits. As campuses open across the US, the physical setting must reflect the promise: composed, purposeful, non-conventional, and undeniably premium. This position exists to establish that benchmark and ensure it can be replicated at every campus.
You will establish the design vision, convert it into floor plans that reject traditional classroom formats, and document standards so the brand remains intact as we grow. This is not about managing vendors or overseeing facilities operations. It is high-judgment, high-speed design execution with tangible constraints and genuine visibility.
If you possess the discernment to define a category and the efficiency to deliver without compromise, we would like to speak with you.
What you will be doing
- Developing campus design vision packages (philosophy, mood boards, material palettes, lighting character, furniture strategy) that communicate premium quality and reject traditional school aesthetics
- Generating detailed spatial layouts that support flexible learning zones, efficient circulation, and unified lighting and environmental principles
- Establishing and updating design standards and boundaries that ensure every campus stays consistent yet remains adaptable to varied floor plans
- Executing rapid iteration cycles on active campuses by identifying refinement opportunities and producing prioritized action lists that elevate finish quality without stalling launches
What you will NOT be doing
- Coordinating vendors, selecting contractors, or handling procurement activities
- Supervising construction, maintenance, or executive-level facilities management
- Creating "attractive" standard private school interiors featuring bright primary palettes and institutional materials
- Pursuing perfection when it compromises launch schedules
Key responsibilities
This role exists to guarantee every campus launches and matures with a category-defining, premium, non-traditional physical environment that remains consistent at scale.
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
