The Role

We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead end-to-end delivery of a 5-month eLearning and video development project. You'll own the project plan and schedule, coordinate across instructional design, SME, media, and QA teams, and keep the client, stakeholders, and your own team aligned from kickoff through closure.

What You'll Do

● Own the full project lifecycle, from kickoff through delivery and closure

● Build and maintain detailed project plans, schedules, and dependencies in Microsoft Project

● Define scope, milestones, deliverables, and success criteria with stakeholders

● Act as the primary point of contact for internal teams and client stakeholders

● Coordinate across instructional design, SME, media, QA, and delivery teams; run status meetings and manage follow-ups

● Plan and allocate resources, spot risks early, and resolve delivery bottlenecks before they become problems

● Provide regular status reports, forecasts, and variance analysis, and support review cycles through to final sign-off

The Three Things That Matter Most

  1. Project management — hands-on experience running the full lifecycle of a project in Microsoft Project, from scope and schedule through closure

  2. Communication skills — comfortable as the main point of contact for clients and cross-functional teams, clear in status updates and tough conversations alike

  3. Time management — able to juggle multiple workstreams and deadlines across a 5-month engagement without dropping the ball

Also Needed

● 5+ years of project management experience, ideally in learning, training, eLearning, or content development

● Strong hands-on experience with Microsoft Project

● Experience managing cross-functional teams of 10-15+ people

● Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment

● Solid fundamentals in scope management, scheduling, risk management, and stakeholder communication

● Bachelor's degree in any field

Nice to Have

● Experience in learning services, training delivery, or digital content development organizations

● Exposure to automation tools, AI-assisted workflows, or reporting tools

● Experience working with global clients or distributed teams

Why Work With Us

Join a global team delivering learning solutions for some of the world's largest organizations. You'll run a meaningful, well-scoped engagement with real ownership, backed by a collaborative delivery team that values doing the work well.

If you can run a tight project plan and keep every stakeholder in the loop, we want to hear from you.
