Facilities Project Coordinator, 2 Hour Learning (Remote)

Take possession of a building. Execute the buildout. Open on time. Once operational, transition to the operations team and begin the next campus in a new city. This is continuous sprint delivery. If you're ready to work at that cadence, this is the role.

2 Hour Learning operates schools where students complete their academic work in two hours daily, dedicating the remainder to life skills, entrepreneurship, and learning opportunities absent from traditional models.

The approach delivers measurable outcomes: students performing in the top 1-2% nationally and progressing at double the standard rate. None of that happens without ready facilities.

Your responsibility: deliver fully operational school campuses on time and within budget across an expanding portfolio of micro schools, growth campuses, and flagship vertical campuses in major metropolitan areas.

Timelines are tight. From building handoff to first day of school happens in weeks, not months. You'll sequence vendor scopes, monitor dependencies in real time, and leverage AI to flag every outstanding issue before it causes a delay. After a campus opens, you hand the site to the operations team and proceed to the next location.

You'll begin with micro-campus buildouts—the highest-velocity, most standardized projects in the portfolio. As the network grows to include growth and flagship campuses, the scope and complexity of your projects will scale accordingly.

When a school opens on schedule and students arrive on Day 1, your work remains invisible. That defines success in this role. Apply now via our assessment process: a cognitive evaluation followed by a practical work sample.

What You Will Be Doing

  • Leading full campus buildouts from assignment through completion: orchestrating FF&E (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) procurement and installation, interior finishes, IT infrastructure, signage, and play areas from building handoff to opening day
  • Executing a fast-track delivery schedule against a fixed opening date: structuring vendor workflows, managing cross-project dependencies, and compressing timelines wherever necessary
  • Managing and inspecting vendor deliverables: issuing scopes of work, overseeing on-site execution, verifying compliance with specifications, and formally rejecting work that fails to meet standards
  • Deploying AI tools to create vendor scopes, generate punch lists, monitor open items, and prepare handoff documentation—operating at this pace demands these capabilities
  • Implementing standardized deployment playbooks, confirming site readiness at completion, documenting structured feedback, and preparing the transition to the ongoing operations team
What You Won’t Be Doing
  • Managing ongoing facility operations after opening: you transfer responsibility to the permanent operations team and proceed to the next buildout
  • Executing hands-on construction or installation tasks: you direct, inspect, and accept work—not perform trades or install equipment
  • Handling real estate acquisition, permitting, or certificate of occupancy: these processes are completed before the building is assigned to you
  • Working on a single project with extended timelines: micro-campus buildouts are rapid, and the next project is always queued
  • Navigating ambiguous ownership or divided accountability: each buildout has a single owner from handoff through opening
