The role organizes execution across functions so contributors can focus on their work and Product leaders can focus on Product decisions.\nThe Project Manager is a systems-minded delivery leader, not a meeting scheduler or task chaser. The role is accountable for momentum, clarity, and escalation while leaving product, technical, academic, design, creative, AI-quality, and business decisions with the appropriate owners.\nKey Responsibilities\n1. Project Planning\nTurn approved scope and readiness criteria into an integrated plan with functional estimates and commitments. Coordinate discovery contributors and dependencies when assigned.\nIdentify critical path, decision points, cross-functional handoffs, resource assumptions, and risks before they become blockers.\nMaintain original and current forecasts, record approved changes and coordinate accepted handoff, remaining obligations and project closure.\n2. Execution & Coordination\nFacilitate the minimum operating cadence needed to keep work aligned and moving.\nTrack dependencies, risks, blockers, decisions, actions, and readiness in the shared system of record rather than shadow trackers.\nEnsure owners understand commitments and escalate when work cannot proceed within agreed parameters.\n3. Scope Change & Readiness\nMake proposed scope changes visible with impact to schedule, dependencies, capacity, quality, and readiness.\nRoute Product tradeoffs to PM/Product leadership and functional decisions to the appropriate leader.\nCoordinate completion and visibility of Product, enablement, implementation, support, design, academic, AI-quality where applicable, QA, and technical readiness inputs without becoming the owner of those approvals.\n4. Risk, Decisions & Escalation\nSurface unresolved blockers and decisions early with clear owner, impact, options, and required timing.\nDistinguish delivery risk from product, technical, academic, AI-quality, or operating-system issues and route each to the correct owner.\nUse the Director of Product Operations and Delivery for coaching or escalation when complexity, cross-project dependency, or consequence exceeds the PjM's delegated scope.\n5. Continuous Improvement & Leverage\nCapture recurring delivery friction and recommend system improvements to Director of Product Operations and Delivery and Product Operations.\nUse shared templates, automation, and status conventions to minimize administrative overhead.\nContribute lessons learned and reusable project patterns back into the delivery practice.\nDefinition of Success\nProjects have credible plans, timely decisions, complete readiness and accepted handoffs. Product and functional owners retain decisions; PjMs independently coordinate delivery and surface risks before commitments fail.\nSkills, Knowledge and Expertise\nRequired\n4+ years of project or program-management experience in cross-functional product, software, content, or digital delivery, or equivalent demonstrated capability.\nStrong planning, facilitation, dependency/risk management, written communication, and escalation skills.\nTranslate approved scope and readiness into plans while preserving Product and functional decisions.\nExperience with Jira or comparable delivery tooling and disciplined system-of-record practices.\nManage concurrent workstreams, surface risks early and communicate concise delivery evidence.\nUse verified AI-assisted planning, synthesis, documentation and automation.\n Preferred\nEdTech, SaaS, curriculum/technology, or multi-disciplinary product-development experience.\nExperience coordinating Product releases across Engineering, QA, Design, Academic, Creative and customer teams, including AI readiness where applicable.\nBenefits\nAt Summit K12, we are committed to pay transparency and equitable compensation practices.
