We’re looking for a Learning Project Manager to be the operational nerve center for instructional design and development. You will build the systems, processes, and rhythms that keep our learning programs on track—from intake to launch—and partner across vendor instructional design teams and internal subject matter experts to ship high‑quality content on time. You’ll stand up the operating model from the ground up (intake, planning, execution, QA, release, maintenance), set benchmarks like time‑to‑delivery, and drive continuous improvement and efficiency across the content lifecycle.

• Implement pragmatic workflows and automations using Jira and Airtable; support adoption of complementary tools (e.g., Asana, Monday.com, Smartsheet).
• Establish operational benchmarks (cycle time by asset type, on‑time launch %, revision/defect rate, throughput) and publish regular readouts.
• Drive quality and readiness: ensure assets meet accessibility, brand, and technical standards; orchestrate QA, pilots, and sign‑off.
• Run weekly operating reviews across Curriculum, Live Training, Platform/LMS, PMM, and regional partners; surface risks with clear options and trade‑offs.
