VP of Real Estate Development, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $400,000/year USD

You will serve as the deal architect behind America's most rapidly expanding private school network.

This position requires you to identify locations, execute lease negotiations, and oversee broker channels spanning multiple markets, property categories, and campus scales (25 to 1000 students) with both velocity and exactness. This is not a project coordination position. You will independently identify, evaluate, and finalize locations across various property types, with genuine authority to decide and zero bureaucratic friction.

2 Hour Learning is establishing a national network of educational campuses, and this role enables that expansion by building a scalable and swift location identification and launch framework. You will propel campus openings by securing superior sites and completing lease agreements with consistency, urgency, and reach. The organization requires someone capable of rendering go/no-go determinations on a weekly basis, finalizing transactions in days rather than weeks, and mobilizing broker ecosystems to generate vetted transaction opportunities. You will leverage AI capabilities to outperform conventional real estate operations.

If you approach real estate transactions as a competitive endeavor and seek to succeed across geographies, configurations, and schedules, this position aligns with your strengths.

What You Will Be Doing

• Establish and iteratively refine location feasibility models encompassing zoning regulations, permitting requirements, spatial dimensions, demographic profiles, institutional standards, and compliance exposure, then convert these parameters into AI-compatible structures that support automated filtering and evaluation
• Render authoritative go/no-go decisions on prospective locations each week informed by intelligence from individual contributors and brokers, advancing the transaction pipeline with transparent reasoning tied to feasibility benchmarks
• Directly manage term sheets, letters of intent, and lease modifications through execution, reconciling velocity, exposure, and expense, while deploying AI resources to identify provision-level hazards and expedite legal assessment
• Develop context-rich collateral and facilitate recurring communications to engage brokers, developers, and capital partners. Apply AI to create tailored briefing materials at volume that yield qualified transaction flow

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Overseeing a sizable team or assigning transaction completion to subordinates
• Prioritizing extended strategic roadmapping over weekly milestones and immediate implementation
• Facilitating transactions without direct accountability for results from initial prospect through executed lease
