Purpose of Position

The Director, Project Management will establish and lead EdReports' Project Management function at a pivotal moment in the organization's product transformation. Reporting to the Chief of Staff—who functions as the Chief of Program Management across the organization—this role will operate as a senior delivery and operating-model leader, partnering closely with the Managing Director of Product Management and other senior leaders.
