SVP of Real Estate Expansion, Learning; Remote

Overview

This position places you at the center of America's fastest-growing private school network as the deal-closer responsible for its physical expansion. Your work will involve sourcing locations, executing lease negotiations, and directing broker pipelines across multiple cities, property types, and campus configurations ranging from 25 to 1,000 students. This is not a role focused on coordination; you will directly source, evaluate, and finalize locations across diverse asset classes, exercising decision authority without bureaucratic delays.

2 Hour Learning is establishing a national network of educational facilities, and your role is critical to enabling that expansion by building a scalable, repeatable system for site identification and launch. You will accelerate campus openings by securing superior locations and finalizing lease agreements with consistency, urgency, and scalability. The organization requires someone capable of rendering go/no-go decisions on a weekly cadence, finalizing transactions in days rather than weeks, and mobilizing broker networks to generate qualified opportunities.

You will leverage AI capabilities to surpass the performance of conventional real estate operations.

If you view commercial real estate transactions as a competitive discipline and seek to excel across geographies, formats, and deadlines, this opportunity is designed for you.
