About the role

  • Establish and lead the Project Management function, including defining standards, tools, and operating rhythms that support a product-led, learning-driven delivery model.

  • Build and maintain systems for transparency, including delivery metrics, dashboards, decision briefs, risk tracking, and executive- and board-facing reporting inputs.
  • Enable cross-functional delivery by surfacing dependencies, risks, and tradeoffs; coordinating escalation pathways; and supporting informed, timely decision-making.
  • Educate and coach teams and leaders on modern project management, product operations, and agile delivery practices aligned to EdReports’ values and governance needs.
  • Hire, onboard, manage, and develop a team of Project Managers, fostering a culture of accountability, learning, equity, and continuous improvement.
  • Steward delivery tools, documentation, and knowledge systems (e.g., workflows, templates, playbooks) to balance standardization with team autonomy.
