📋 Description

• Lead cross-functional execution of public-funding and ESA initiatives across CX, Marketing, Legal, Finance, and Product — translating strategy into coordinated project plans, clear owners, and on-time delivery. • Build trusted working relationships with the owners in each function — CX, Marketing, Legal, Finance, and Product — well enough to understand their real constraints and broker tradeoffs. • Act as Outschool’s internal ESA-family expert, bringing the lived persona into product, go-to-market, and support decisions, and pressure-testing our messaging and experience before it reaches families. • Own the project-management systems and operating cadence for the public-funding program — roadmaps, dependencies, status tracking, and clear decision-making across teams. • Drive and coordinate AI-enabled efficiency — identify and (with engineering as needed) build automations such as order-fulfillment and invoicing workflows that reduce manual effort and help the program scale. • Continuously look for ways to improve and scale ESA operations — spotting inefficiencies and bottlenecks, streamlining and automating workflows, and building processes that hold up as volume grows. • Keep our distributed operating model coordinated: ensure the teams that own individual pieces of public funding stay aligned, and proactively surface and resolve risks. • Partner with the Partnerships Lead to coordinate the internal execution of partner-driven launches, keeping Product, CX, Legal, and Finance aligned as new partners and programs come online.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven project or program management experience leading cross-functional initiatives to on-time, on-budget delivery. • A track record of acting as a trusted partner across functions — not just tracking a plan, but building enough credibility with each team that they bring you problems early. • Comfortable working through disagreement: can surface competing priorities between teams, facilitate toward a decision, and communicate tradeoffs and risks to stakeholders clearly, even without formal authority. • Strong operational and process orientation, with the ability to turn ambiguous, fast-changing requirements into clear, repeatable workflows. • A track record of not just running operations but improving them — finding efficiencies and building processes that scale with growth. • Demonstrated use of AI tools to speed up delivery and improve efficiency. • Deep understanding of — or the ability to quickly ramp on — the ESA, public-funding, and homeschooling landscape and the families it serves.

🏖️ Benefits

• Shared Financial Success: Competitive salaries, stock options, and retirement plans • Health: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance • Wellness: Annual wellness stipend, access to coaching & therapy, and pet wellness plans • PTO & Family Benefits: Generous PTO and family leave policies • Hybrid & Remote-Friendly: Outschool has a distributed team across the U.S. and Canada and an office in San Francisco. Bay Area-based employees work in the office part of the week and receive commute-related benefits. Team members outside the Bay Area remain fully remote, with support for expensable home office setup and internet to stay connected no matter where you are. • Lifelong Learners: Annual budgets for professional development and DEI learning; budgets for children to take Outschool classes • Community Impact: Outschool matches employee donations to eligible charities and supports Outschool.org’s nonprofit programs
