State governments and large enterprises partner with us to run child care licensing, subsidy programs, and provider and family search on our platform. We are growing fast, and every new state or enterprise win becomes a complex, high-stakes delivery engagement.\nThe Role\nWe need a Program Manager to run our state and enterprise engagements. You will own the delivery plan, the client relationship, and the coordination between our clients and our product and engineering teams, across every active project. This is a hands-on role. You will spend your time in project plans, client meetings, spreadsheets of acceptance criteria, and hard conversations about dates.\nYou are the person who makes sure what we promise to government and enterprise clients is what gets delivered, on time, on contract, with the paper trail to prove it.\nResponsibilities\nOwn the delivery plan for each engagement across all workstreams. Track milestones, UAT cycles, and acceptance against each contracted statement of work.\nRun the client cadence on every project: weekly status, steering meetings, escalations, and working sessions with agency program staff, legal, and state IT.\nKeep dependency registers current. Clients owe us integration specs, test environments, credentials, data feeds, and business decisions on a schedule. Hold both sides to their dates and keep the paper trail that supports excusable-delay and change-order claims.\nManage scope: capability traceability, acceptance criteria negotiation, change requests, and intake of new work.\nProduce deliverables for client review and keep Wonderschool leadership ahead of risks across the whole portfolio instead of behind them.\nWork with engineering leads on integration timelines with state systems (ERP platforms, state data hubs, SSO). You will not own technical design, but you need to follow the conversation and know when a date is slipping.\nBuild the repeatable program playbook as we add states and enterprise clients.\nQualifications\n5+ years of program or project management on complex software delivery. Government or regulated-industry clients strongly preferred.\nYou have managed contractual milestones, UAT-based acceptance, and formal change control, and you have the scars to show for it.\nYou write well. Status reports, meeting summaries, and acceptance criteria language will carry your name.\nYou can run a plan that depends on teams you do not manage, on both sides of the table.\nStrongly preferred: experience with child care programs in state government (licensing, subsidy/CCAP, eligibility, or provider systems).\nA plus: state human services or eligibility systems experience, or familiarity with state procurement.\nLocation and Compensation\nLocation: San Francisco, California. Work in person from our Rincon Hill office 5-6 days a week, with travel to government and enterprise clients as needed.\nCompensation: Competitive market rate plus meaningful equity.\nBenefits: Full package (health, dental, vision, 401k, flexible PTO).","description_format":"text","description_chars":3080,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["401k plan","Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Early Childhood Education"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T07:23:04Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":0,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":152500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":43,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.573,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":52,"expected_fill_days":70,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wonderschool-program-manager-state-enterprise-programs","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wonderschool-program-manager-state-enterprise-programs.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T12:38:58Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":19012,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":171992},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=171992"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwonderschool-program-manager-state-enterprise-programs"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwonderschool-program-manager-state-enterprise-programs"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwonderschool-program-manager-state-enterprise-programs"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wonderschool-program-manager-state-enterprise-programs\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwonderschool-program-manager-state-enterprise-programs"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":440356}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"wonderschool.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":440356},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
