Director of Operations & Automation, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $200,000/year USD

You'll never be "just ops" here.

At 2 Hour Learning, Operations Is The Product. Our National Network Of AI-native K-12 Schools Only Works If Our Campus Systems Do. That's Why Our Operations Team Doesn't "support" Expansion; They Drive It. Each Person Operates In One Of Five Mission-critical Domains, Becoming a Domain Expert Fast Through Real-world Immersion And AI-accelerated Learning

• Authorization & Permitting – Secure multi-state legal approval and fast-track local permitting to unlock new markets.
• Physical Build-Out & Maintenance – Oversee campus construction, upgrades, and vendor performance to deliver and sustain high-quality facilities.
• Operational Setup – Launch every new school with all systems—devices, platforms, support, compliance—fully configured and ready to go.
• Financial Operations – Build budgets, deliver daily insight dashboards, and maintain audit-ready financial control across every school and vertical.
• PMO – Accelerate delivery of key tech and marketing initiatives through vendor scorecards, Wrike dashboards, and initiative-level reporting.
  
  

You'll ship dashboards that clarify financial blind spots. Design onboarding systems that halve student setup errors. Secure regulatory approval in new states. Stand up campuses in record time. Or prototype AI-first workflows that replace layers of traditional management. This is high-stakes, high-velocity execution—done by builders, not bystanders.

If you're the kind of operator who sees bottlenecks and starts building—not scheduling meetings—you'll thrive here. Your systems will power the next 25–30 schools we open in the next year. Your work will define what great looks like for hundreds of staff and thousands of students. And your track record will speak for itself.

What You Will Be Doing

• Owning one of six core ops pillars: Authorization, Build-Out, Setup, Finance, or PMO
• Solving first-time problems in your pillar using AI, automation, and rapid iteration
• Writing clear specs, dashboards, or runbooks that scale across dozens of schools
• Interfacing with real-world constraints: campus vendors, regulators, systems, and staff
• Traveling to campuses when needed to implement or pressure-test your solutions
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Waiting for product or engineering to build your ops tools—you'll prototype or automate yourself
• Asking AI to "write an SOP" and calling it a day—you'll vibe-code solutions that actually work
• Being siloed in a central office—expect to travel and ship on-site outcomes
• Handing off your strategy to someone else to execute—you'll do both, end-to-end
