Responsibilities

• Architect the delivery framework - design and implement the operating rhythm and artifact/tool standards for your product area. You decide which ceremonies (sprints, milestones, creative reviews) are necessary to maintain momentum and which process debt needs to be cleared away to increase team velocity
• Direct project delivery - oversee and support the development and execution of project schedules, dependency maps, and resource plans to deliver target outcomes. Communicate project health and status to teammates, stakeholders, and executives
• Bridge the content-software divide - lead the synchronization between our curriculum writers and software engineers. You ensure that digital features are ready when the content needs them, and that content is authored to take full advantage of our platform’s capabilities
• Manage team capacity and planning - own the resource-allocation model for your teams. Identify early signs of burnout or under-utilization and work with functional leads to rebalance staffing or adjust project scope before deadlines are at risk
• Drive risk management and issue resolution - act as the ultimate escalation point for project blockers. When a print deadline is threatened or a software bug halts a content release, you lead the charge to identify the fastest path to resolution, surface trade-offs for decision-making, communicate the recovery plan to stakeholders, and drive to resolution
• Manage operational budgets - monitor project-level spending and ensure projects are delivered within approved financial parameters. Partner with Product Management leaders and Heads to create inputs for annual budgets, re-forecasts, and five year plans
• Optimize the "print-to-digital" pipeline - collaborate with Supply Chain and Production to ensure that the hand-off from creative teams to manufacturing is seamless. Define the "definition of ready" for physical production, ensuring that files are technically accurate and instructional intent is preserved
• Own vendor strategy and manage strategic partners - evaluate and select vendors, negotiate terms, and set performance standards. Monitor vendor performance across the portfolio and make recommendations on renewals, expansions, or terminations
• Pioneer AI efficiency - identify and implement AI-powered tools within the project management workflow to drive development efficiencies and reduce the administrative burdens
• Mentor excellent project managers - directly manage and nurture the development of a team of project managers
• Elevate the Project Management discipline - contribute to project management standards, templates, tooling decisions, and ways of working that improve delivery effectiveness across the organization. Be a thought partner to peers on complex delivery challenges
