Key Responsibilities

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

  • Build and maintain Excel-based trackers (pivot tables, lookups, formulas, conditional formatting) for delivery status, budget vs. actuals, and resource utilization.
  • Develop executive-ready reports and slides in PowerPoint; document SOPs in Word/SharePoint.

Atlassian (Jira) Administration

  • 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.
  • Translate complex operational/data insights into clear, actionable communication.

  • Proficiency across Microsoft 365: Teams, SharePoint, PowerPoint, Word.
  • Numeracy and budget tracking experience (spend tracking, basic forecasting, variance analysis).
  • Strong English—both written and spoken—with the ability to produce crisp, executive-ready communication.
  • Exceptional communication skills: stakeholder management, meeting facilitation, status reports, and concise updates.
  • Semi-autonomous working style—able to own outcomes while being highly responsive to direction.
  • Solutions mindset—demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and solve operational problems quickly.

Atlassian & Content

  • Well-developed skills in Atlassian Jira (project setup, workflows, boards, dashboards, filters, JQL basics).

Nice-to-Have (Preferred)

  • Experience with Confluence for knowledge base and SOPs.

  • Understanding of curriculum standards, accessibility (WCAG), and content QA workflows.
  • Basic data visualization (Excel charts, Power BI fundamentals).

  • Vendor coordination and simple contract/PO administration.
  • Experience in EdTech or education publishing.
