Role Description

Wisewire seeks a skilled Curriculum Project Manager to join our fast-paced and exciting team in a full-time capacity.

Fast-paced meetings need to be quickly turned into action items that achieve the goals of the project. You should have experience successfully managing all phases of a project’s life cycle in the education industry, preferably K-12 and HE – from early scoping, estimating, and planning activities through execution, delivery, and post-project reviews.

• Quality Process Management: Hold project teams accountable to quality tracking, ensure team performance is captured through quality tracking data, and proactively address issues with project leads. Build, enforce, and maintain project artifacts as needed, including style guides, communication plans, workflow visibility, and customer sign off checkpoints.
• Communication: Communicate efficiently and with integrity, managing up, down, and outward before customer or team challenges arise. Ensure the right details are communicated at the right time to the right people in the right format. Escalate concerns early and often.
