Director of Operational Excellence, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000/year USD

Tired of being the smartest person in the strategy room with no authority to execute? This is your inflection point.

2 Hour Learning is deploying 25-30 new school campuses in six months. Buildings. Budgets. Systems. Regulatory clearances. All on deadline. We need an execution-focused Director to own one critical domain: approvals, onboarding, or finance. Full accountability. No committees. No handoffs. Just you, a mandate, and the opportunity to architect operational excellence.

We're scaling a revolutionary educational model that delivers a year of content in just two focused hours daily. Private equity-backed with funding secured. The model works. Now we need the infrastructure to match—immediately.

What You Will Be Doing

• Take complete ownership of one domain within our national launch strategy: regulatory approvals, onboarding + systems, or financial operations
• Lead cross-functional execution with full decision authority and corresponding accountability
• Develop and implement scalable playbooks in real-time while navigating complex operational challenges
• Collaborate directly with founders and key stakeholders to deliver launch-ready infrastructure
• Leverage AI tools and automation to maximize operational efficiency and accelerate execution timelines
  
  

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Providing recommendations without implementation responsibility—this is an execution-focused role
• Navigating bureaucratic approval chains—you'll have direct access to decision-makers
• Managing isolated projects—you'll orchestrate parallel initiatives across multiple geographies
• Waiting for direction—you'll establish clarity in ambiguous situations
• Escalating difficult decisions—you'll own the outcomes of your judgment calls
