Head of Compliance & Permitting, 2 Hour Learning (Remote) - $200,000/year USD

If you've overseen construction for schools, hospitals, or commercial sites and thought, "There's a faster way to do this," you should continue reading. At 2 Hour Learning, we operate the fastest-scaling school model in the nation. But every new location depends on regulatory clearance. Licenses, permits, and filings must be executed accurately and on an accelerated timeline. That's your responsibility. You'll determine compliance requirements, organize submissions sequentially, and ensure approvals arrive when needed. You'll leverage AI tools and automation systems, but you'll also make direct calls, follow up with contractors, and resolve exceptions that automation cannot address. This position suits someone who operates effectively under complexity and time pressure. You'll be part of a high-velocity organization with full resource backing, where execution speed is standard and quality is mandatory. You'll apply AI to reduce bureaucratic friction, shorten permitting cycles, and deliver results—not just documentation. If you're ready to be the person who converts "pending approval" into "cleared for launch," this role is for you. What You Will Be Doing

• Aligning architects, contractors, and legal counsel to obtain all necessary construction and operational permits for education facilities.
• Managing municipal permitting and inspection workflows across multiple jurisdictions — reducing delays and removing obstacles.
• Compiling and filing complete approval packages: permit applications, regulatory submissions, and inspection records.
• Tracking project progress and compliance exposure across all locations — ensuring real-time transparency and no unexpected issues.
• Traveling to project sites (~75%) to engage directly with local regulators, inspectors, and service providers to maintain momentum.

What You Won’t Be Doing

• Waiting for others to flag problems or finalize paperwork — you will own the complete outcome.
• Spending your time confined to a desk — this is a field-based execution role, not an administrative position.
• Applying a fixed, location-specific checklist — you'll develop custom solutions where standard processes don't exist.
• Treating delays as unavoidable — speed combined with accuracy defines this role.
• Depending on outdated tools or manual systems — you'll be required to automate workflows and refine them continuously.
