Pearson VUE is a global leader in computer-based testing, providing a wide range of credentialing and certification exams for various industries. They support test-takers and test owners by offering resources, scheduling options, and accommodations to ensure equitable access to testing. Their mission is to empower candidates and enrich communities through the delivery of high-stakes exams that validate professional skills and knowledge, contributing to career advancement and industry standards.

📋 Description

• Lead delivery, governance and operational control across the TELPAS and MOWR statewide assessment programmes — managing contractual milestones, SOW deliverables, scoring-service dependencies, risk, budget and reporting obligations. • Maintain delivery cadence across recurring annual cycles, live administrations, Versant AI engine-training windows and validation reporting. • Own programme and project control: governance, RAID logs, dashboards and KPIs, with clear escalation of risks and issues. • Coordinate across Versant AI Scoring Services, R&D, Test Development, Psychometrics, Engineering, Scoring Operations and Finance, plus external delivery partners. • Choose and adapt the right delivery approach (waterfall, Agile or hybrid), run retrospectives and lessons-learned, and support quality initiatives including ISO 9001 and ISO 27001. • Coach colleagues in effective project management tools, disciplines and ways of working. • As the role expands, support delivery across the wider PTE portfolio and contribute to government recognition and bidding activity.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven experience delivering complex projects or programmes, ideally in education, assessment or regulated environments. • Comfort managing contractual delivery — SOW milestones, deliverables and reporting obligations — ideally in public-sector or statewide assessment contexts. • A strong grasp of project governance, risk and issue management, and dependency planning. • Confidence operating in global, cross-functional, matrixed teams, working alongside technical and psychometric colleagues. • Fluency across both traditional and Agile / hybrid delivery approaches. • A project management qualification (e.g. PMP/PMI, PRINCE2, M_o_R, Agile, equivalent) is required and we’re also looking for good experience running complex, cross-functional initiatives.

🏖️ Benefits

• Eligible to participate in an annual incentive program
