Operations & Planning

• Maintain program trackers, calendars, and dashboards across Teams, SharePoint, and Jira.
• Track budgets, POs, and vendor spending; support monthly/quarterly forecasting and variance analysis.
• Coordinate cross-functional workflows (Content, Product, Instructional Design, QA, and Support).

Data & Reporting

• Create and manage projects, issue types, workflows, boards, filters, and dashboards.
• Partner with teams to define epics/stories, acceptance criteria, and clear SLAs.
• Ensure data hygiene and consistent tagging for accurate reporting.

Digital Content Management (K–12)

• Support content lifecycle: intake, metadata application, versioning, QA readiness, and release notes.
• Coordinate with SMEs/editors to ensure alignment with curriculum standards and accessibility guidelines.
• Maintain content repositories and permissions in SharePoint/Teams (and/or LMS/CMS if applicable).

Communication & Stakeholder Management

• Serve as a dependable point of contact for cross-team updates; run stand-ups, sprint rituals, and steering updates as needed.
