- Own end-to-end project management from initial kickoff through delivery, including resource allocation and cross-team coordination.
- Coordinate across departments to align course development with broader business objectives, content strategy, and technical requirements.
- Identify opportunities to improve processes through the adoption of the latest technologies, including AI and automation, to streamline development and enhance course quality.
- Contribute to internal planning, identifying which courses we need to develop for the network.

- Are a natural organizer who thrives on keeping people and projects moving forward.
- Are detail-driven, confident in scoping projects, and able to assess timelines and complexity accurately.
- Are client-centric and know how to navigate feedback, questions, and scope changes professionally.
- Have a sharp eye for quality, accuracy, and alignment to brand and educational standards.
- Can juggle multiple moving parts and keep the big picture in focus.
- Are a strong communicator and leader who ensures clarity across teams and keeps details from slipping through the cracks.
- Bring a blend of people management experience and a background in instructional design, e-learning, or curriculum development.
- Understand project-based work and thrive in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
- Are excited about using new tools and emerging technologies -especially AI - to work smarter and deliver better results.
