Project Manager, Platform (Contractor)

● You anticipate and adapt - seeing a delay coming three months away and adjust the plan today.

● You lead with influence - leading with logic and relationship-building. You can rally a team around a tight deadline without relying on direct authority and can negotiate priorities between competing departments without needing to escalate.

● You use data to drive improvements - using metrics to prove your process improvements and working and use findings to drive further adjustments.

● You are outcomes-oriented - ensuring deliverables meet our quality standards and definition of done.

● You are the calm in the storm - excelling in high-pressure environments, providing the structure and clarity the team needs to stay focused during crunch time.

● You are a systems thinker - looking for ways to automate administrative tasks, identifying patterns across projects, and improving process flows. You bring solutions that maximize the time you spend on high value work and benefit the broader organization.

● 5-8+ Years of Experience: Proven track record of managing complex projects in EdTech, software, or creative publishing.

● Hybrid Methodology Fluency: Deep experience in Agile/Scrum for software development combined with the Waterfall/Stage-Gate discipline required for print and physical production.

● Master of the "Blended" Product: You understand the unique challenges of shipping products that live in both a web browser and a student’s backpack.

● Advanced Tooling Skills: Expert-level proficiency in Jira and Smartsheet (or similar tools like Monday.com/Airtable ). You can build the dashboards and trackers that the team relies on.

● Communication Powerhouse: You can explain a technical software delay to a content editor and a creative design constraint to an engineer with equal ease.
