Operations Coordinator   $100,000 USD/year

Description

Open the doors. Transfer ownership. Move forward. You'll transform an empty building into a fully functioning school campus—on schedule and fully operational—then hand it to the operations team and begin the next one in another city. This is continuous sprint delivery, month over month. If that approach fits how you work, continue reading.

2 Hour Learning operates schools where students complete their core academics in two hours, then dedicate the remainder of the day to life skills, entrepreneurship, and experiences traditional schooling rarely accommodates. The model delivers measurable outcomes: students performing in the top 1-2% nationally, progressing at double the standard rate. But none of this functions unless the campus is prepared. Your role is to ensure that: delivering fully operational school campuses, on schedule and within budget, across an expanding network of micro schools, growth campuses, and flagship vertical campuses in major metropolitan areas.

The timelines are consistently tight. Move from building handoff to opening day within weeks, not months. This requires coordinating vendor workflows, monitoring dependencies on a daily basis, and leveraging AI to anticipate every outstanding task before it creates a bottleneck. After a campus launches, you'll transition the site to the permanent operations team and shift focus to the next build.

You'll begin with micro-campus buildouts—the most rapid and repeatable projects in the portfolio. As the network grows to encompass growth and flagship campuses, the scope and complexity of your management responsibilities expand accordingly.

When a school opens on schedule and students arrive on Day 1, your name stays in the background. That's the hallmark of work done correctly. Apply today through our assessment process: a cognitive evaluation followed by a practical work sample.

What you will be doing

  • Overseeing the complete buildout for each assigned campus: coordinating FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) procurement and installation, interior work, IT infrastructure, signage, and playspace from building handoff to opening day
  • Executing a compressed delivery timeline against a fixed opening date: sequencing vendor workstreams, managing project dependencies, and accelerating work wherever the schedule demands
  • Coordinating and accepting vendor deliverables: submitting scopes, overseeing on-site execution, inspecting against specifications, and formally rejecting work that fails to meet standards
  • Leveraging AI tools to draft vendor scopes, generate punch lists, track open items, and produce handoff documentation—this role operates at a pace that requires it
  • Implementing standardized site deployment playbooks, validating readiness upon completion, documenting structured feedback, and managing the handoff to the ongoing operations team

What you will NOT be doing

  • Managing steady-state facility operations once a campus is open: you hand responsibility to the permanent ops team and transition to the next project
  • Performing hands-on trades or installation tasks: your responsibility is to direct, inspect, and accept work—not to perform manual labor or technical installations
  • Handling real estate sourcing, permitting, or certificate of occupancy: by the time you receive the building, those steps are complete
  • Working on a single project at a deliberate pace: micro-campus buildouts move quickly, and the next one is always approaching
  • Navigating shared ownership or ambiguous accountability: each buildout is assigned one responsible individual from handoff through opening day

Key responsibilities

Deliver fully operational campuses on schedule and within budget, from building handoff through opening day.

Candidate requirements

  • At least 2 years in operations, facilities, or project delivery
  • Experience identifying and repairing a broken process, with a measurable outcome to demonstrate: cost reduced, time shortened, or quality enhanced
  • Experience owning a multi-step project end-to-end, from initiation through documented completion
  • Demonstrated vendor management skills: enforce quality standards with contractors and push back when they fall short
  • Experience managing 2 or more concurrent projects or sites without allowing details to slip
  • Regular use of AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or similar) to increase efficiency and maintain organization
  • Based in the US and eligible to work without visa sponsorship
  • Available to travel 60–80% of the time (3–4 days/week)

Nice to have

  • You've participated in a physical buildout or site activation in any industry: retail, restaurants, healthcare, offices, or similar
  • Background in construction project management, tenant improvement, commercial fit-out, or facilities management
  • Any hands-on exposure to FF&E, IT setup, signage, or commercial interior work, even in a coordinator or support capacity
  • You've used a project tracking tool (Wrike, Notion, Procore, Asana, Monday.com, or similar) to manage tasks or timelines

Frequently asked questions

About Crossover

What you will learn

  • How to deliver complex buildouts on compressed timelines: each campus launch represents a delivery repetition that most project managers require years to accumulate in other settings
  • How to advance in project scope—micro-campus buildouts are your starting point; perform well, and the following project grows in scale, encompassing more systems, more vendors, greater complexity, and more cities
  • How to construct effective AI workflows integrated into daily operations: not a tool you access periodically, but the engine driving how scopes are drafted, punch lists are tracked, and handoffs are documented
  • A proven site deployment methodology you'll both execute and refine—your structured field feedback directly informs how future campuses are built across the network
