Senior Interior Designer, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $100,000/year USD
Crossover, New York, NY, United States
You walk into a room and immediately sense whether the space is intentionally crafted or haphazardly assembled. You register lighting warmth, visual noise, exposed cables, how seating is arranged, and the overall atmosphere. Once you spot what's wrong, you can't ignore it. If you want to shape what a "high-performance school" should look and feel like, this is your opportunity.
2 Hour Learning is developing AI-powered private schools where students complete core academics in two hours daily, dedicating afternoons to life skills and passion-based learning. As campuses roll out nationwide, the physical space must reflect the mission: composed, deliberate, unconventional, and clearly premium. This role is responsible for establishing that standard and ensuring it scales reliably across all locations.
You will establish the design philosophy, translate it into floor plans that move beyond conventional classroom layouts, and document standards to prevent brand dilution during growth. This is not about managing contractors or overseeing facilities. It is high-judgment, high-output design work with practical constraints and clear accountability.
If you can define a new category with taste and execute quickly without compromise, we want to speak with you.
What You Will Be Doing
Developing campus design vision packages (philosophy, mood boards, material palettes, lighting character, furniture strategy) that convey premium quality and reject conventional school aesthetics
Generating detailed spatial plans that support adaptable learning zones, intuitive circulation, and coherent lighting and environmental logic
Establishing and maintaining design standards and guidelines that ensure campus-to-campus consistency while allowing flexibility for varying site conditions
Executing rapid iteration cycles on active campuses by identifying refinement opportunities and producing prioritized action lists that enhance quality without stalling openings
What You Won’t Be Doing
Coordinating vendors, sourcing contractors, or handling procurement processes
Supervising construction, maintenance, or senior-level facilities management
Creating "attractive" conventional private school interiors with bold primary colors and institutional materials
Pursuing perfection in ways that delay campus launch schedules
Senior Interior Designer Key Responsibilities This role is accountable for ensuring every campus opens and matures with a category-defining, premium, unconventional physical environment that remains consistent as we scale.
Basic Requirements
Minimum 3 years of experience in interior, spatial, environmental, or experiential design
Portfolio demonstrating premium physical environments (e.g., hospitality, luxury residential, boutique commercial, cruise ship, or experiential)
Demonstrated ability to independently develop mood boards and comprehensive concept direction for spaces
Demonstrated ability to produce spatial layouts that optimize flow, density, and user experience
Deep material and lighting fluency (finishes, texture, lighting character, and their emotional impact)
Exceptional aesthetic judgment with clear evidence of restraint, proportion, and attention to detail
Comfort using AI tools or strong track record of quickly adopting emerging design technologies
Eligibility to work in the United States in a hybrid model with 50–70% travel to campus sites
Nice-to-have Requirements
Background designing repeatable multi-location environments with documented standards and templates
Experience designing unconventional learning, community, or wellness environments with adaptable seating configurations
Proficiency in rapid visualization/rendering techniques that accelerate concept iteration and decision cycles
Working with us This is a full-time (40 hours per week), long-term position. The position is immediately available and requires entering into an independent contractor agreement with Crossover as a Contractor of Record. The compensation level for this role is $50 USD/hour, which equates to $100,000 USD/year assuming 40 hours per week and 50 weeks per year. The payment period is weekly.
