Project Manager

• Turn approved scope and readiness criteria into an integrated plan with functional estimates and commitments. Coordinate discovery contributors and dependencies when assigned.
• Identify critical path, decision points, cross-functional handoffs, resource assumptions, and risks before they become blockers.
• Maintain original and current forecasts, record approved changes and coordinate accepted handoff, remaining obligations and project closure.

• Facilitate the minimum operating cadence needed to keep work aligned and moving.
• Track dependencies, risks, blockers, decisions, actions, and readiness in the shared system of record rather than shadow trackers.
• Ensure owners understand commitments and escalate when work cannot proceed within agreed parameters.

• Make proposed scope changes visible with impact to schedule, dependencies, capacity, quality, and readiness.
• Route Product tradeoffs to PM/Product leadership and functional decisions to the appropriate leader.
• Coordinate completion and visibility of Product, enablement, implementation, support, design, academic, AI-quality where applicable, QA, and technical readiness inputs without becoming the owner of those approvals.

• Surface unresolved blockers and decisions early with clear owner, impact, options, and required timing.
• Distinguish delivery risk from product, technical, academic, AI-quality, or operating-system issues and route each to the correct owner.
• Use the Director of Product Operations and Delivery for coaching or escalation when complexity, cross-project dependency, or consequence exceeds the PjM's delegated scope.

• Capture recurring delivery friction and recommend system improvements to Director of Product Operations and Delivery and Product Operations.
• Use shared templates, automation, and status conventions to minimize administrative overhead.
• Contribute lessons learned and reusable project patterns back into the delivery practice.

• 4+ years of project or program-management experience in cross-functional product, software, content, or digital delivery, or equivalent demonstrated capability.
• Strong planning, facilitation, dependency/risk management, written communication, and escalation skills.
• Translate approved scope and readiness into plans while preserving Product and functional decisions.
• Experience with Jira or comparable delivery tooling and disciplined system-of-record practices.
• Manage concurrent workstreams, surface risks early and communicate concise delivery evidence.
• Use verified AI-assisted planning, synthesis, documentation and automation.

• EdTech, SaaS, curriculum/technology, or multi-disciplinary product-development experience.
• Experience coordinating Product releases across Engineering, QA, Design, Academic, Creative and customer teams, including AI readiness where applicable.
