About the role

Every new Primer campus starts as an empty building in a city where we've never operated. Someone has to turn it into a school fast: pass code, fit the budget, and feel like Primer the moment a kid walks in. That's you. This isn't a support role bolted onto real estate. The pace we open campuses at depends on how fast and how well you can run this process, and the standards you set here get reused at every campus after it.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in architectural project management, interior design, or something close, with real ownership from design through construction
  • Experience building design standards or prototypes for multi-location rollout (a big plus)
  • Background in schools, retail, or hospitality, anywhere physical space matters to the people using it
  • Deep knowledge of building codes, ADA, fire life safety, zoning, and permitting across multiple jurisdictions
  • Fluency in 3D Modeling Software, Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe InDesign, Autodesk Revit, Bluebeam, or equivalent, plus comfort with project management tools (Asana)
  • You'll be producing the standards and playbooks other people build from

Site feasibility and pre-construction

Before Primer signs a lease, you've already run the numbers. You'll lead code analysis and zoning review, coordinate traffic and parking studies, run test fits and space programming, and make the go/no-go call on new sites. You'll also...
