About you:

• You are passionate about project management and have experience working through the lifecycle of a project (developing content to spec, managing budgets, meeting critical schedules, working with multiple stakeholders, and performing quality assurance). PMP Certification is an asset.

• You understand the nuances of author and vendor management and have proven tactics on how to lead with influence to deliver a learning solution on plan, on time, and on or under budget.

• You have an undergraduate university degree. A minimum of three years of experience in developing digital resources for the post-secondary market is preferred.

• You have experience managing concurrent projects and keeping them on track.
