📋 Description

• Lead and manage multiple technical projects across the School IT Services portfolio, ensuring timely, high-quality delivery aligned to school-calendar windows (start-of-year readiness, mid-year transitions, spring testing, and year-end transition). • Develop comprehensive project plans, including scope, schedule, resources, risks, dependencies, and milestones; partner with the Lead of School IT Services and Product Manager to translate roadmap into executable delivery plans. • Identify and mitigate program risks, resolve issues, and surface tradeoffs to stakeholders to keep delivery on track. • Ensure alignment of program and project goals with broader business objectives and strategic priorities. • Operate as the project management partner in the School IT Services 4-in-the-box pod (TPM, Product Manager, Lead of School IT Services, and GTM), driving operating cadence, decision-making, and accountability across the four functions. • Collaborate with engineering, IT operations, security, service delivery, and customer success teams to align on requirements, capacity, dependencies, and release windows. • Foster cross-team collaboration, open communication, and knowledge sharing to address dependencies and improve overall delivery efficiency. • Support the management of external vendors as needed to ensure their contributions align with program goals, timelines, and quality standards. • Communicate program status, progress, risks, and outcomes to stakeholders—including senior leadership, school leaders, and internal cross-functional partners—in a clear and concise manner. • Partner with the Lead of School IT Services, Product Manager, and GTM to support release readiness, including launch communications, training enablement, and adoption tracking, so changes land well in schools. • Establish and maintain feedback loops with schools and internal partners that feed continuous improvement. • Facilitate effective team collaboration and communication, fostering a culture of transparency and accountability. • Drive continuous improvement in project management processes, intake, prioritization, and delivery methodologies. • Establish and maintain the 4IAB operating cadence. • Maintain delivery artifacts (project plans, risk log, dashboards, status reports) that provide a single source of truth across the 4IAB and for executive stakeholders.
