    PROJECT MANAGER
    Overview & Position Description
    Background

    For the past 8 years, The Center for Research on Equity and Innovation (CREI) at the High Tech High Graduate School of Education has brought together practitioners, researchers and youth to create more equitable, engaging learning environments for all students.

    Specifically, we lead improvement networks and support districts, schools and organizations to disrupt predictable patterns of success and failure by embracing an equity-focused, user-centered approach to continuous improvement.

    In Fall 2024, in collaboration with our partners at Improvement Collective, CREI will transition to become a national center for the advancement of improvement for equity (formal name TBD).

    The hub's aim is to nurture an enduring and coherent ecosystem of organizations supporting the use of improvement methods in schools and school systems to address persistent problems of practice and achieve more equitable outcomes for students who are Black, Latinx, Indigenous or experiencing poverty.

    In service of advancing the field of improvement in education, the center will collaborate with partners across the state and the nation to:

    accelerate results


    on important and pressing problems in education, such as reducing chronic absenteeism, ensuring equitable access to college, and improving math teaching and learning.

    support and cultivate the growing community of educational improvers through cross-sector convenings, capacity building, and communications that link people to the resources and opportunities they need to grow as improvers and change agents.

    reduce fragmentation and coordinate an aligned strategy

    to expand and sustain the field of improvement in education across a diverse set of actors.
    Mission & Values
    Our mission is to create more equitable systems where young people and adults thrive.

    We do this by embracing the below core values and supporting educators to embrace them as well:
    Do the self work

    needed to liberate ourselves, those we serve, and the systems in which we live and work
    Build authentic relationships

    that nurture belonging, encourage risk-taking and accelerate learning
    Use data for equity

    to understand what works for whom under what conditions
    See our systems

    as they are and how they could be, building a clear bridge between our reality and our aspirations
    Expand our collective agency

    to take radical ownership, involve those closest to the problem, and make change that lasts
    We are seeking colleagues who share these values, and who challenge us to continually improve our approaches and effectiveness.
    Project Manager Role
    We are currently seeking two (2) full-time project manager roles.

    Each will support 2-3 strands of work, which may include: launching a California learning network to reduce chronic absenteeism statewide; launching a national meta network to connect organizations working to reduce chronic absenteeism across the country; supporting our existing CARPE college access network and CARE 8th grade on-track network; hosting field-building events and communications; developing and implementing a marcomms strategy; bringing field leaders together to align strategy.

    Desired candidates will work closely with project leads and teams, co-design and implement structures to facilitate communication and workflow, and lead process improvement efforts to help us improve.

    Responsibilities

    Project Management & Process Improvement:
    Co-develop initial project timelines, plans and resources needed (such as information, expertise, personnel, materials, etc.) with project leads and teams
    Manage project teams towards deadlines and deliverables, with a solid understanding of the tasks, key milestones, and workflow needed to execute well; monitor and document information and next steps
    Identify, develop, and implement systems to support key processes to improve our work, refining them over time to streamline and improve effectiveness
    Assist with developing key deliverables for projects (e.g., measures, theories of change, consolidation of learning, change packages, agendas, etc.)
    Prepare agendas and materials for team meetings/routines and facilitate meetings/routines (internal and external) in collaboration with project leads
    Determine and effectively delegate logistical tasks related to meetings, events, processes, etc.


    Communications & Relationship Management:
    Manage, maintain, and initiate effective communications and routines within teams, across teams, and with external stakeholders; problem-solve to improve communication flow
    Compose, edit and deliver clear and concise written and verbal communications with key stakeholders

    Data


    Analysis/Reporting:
    Conduct and/or support analysis of project and process data, summarize findings, draw appropriate conclusions and communicate results to team and stakeholders
    Manage and direct reporting activities related to projects (i.e. updates/reports to funders, data-sharing agreements, invoicing, etc.)
    Work with the center director or project lead on grant reporting management; coordinate and manage grant reporting efforts and deliverables


    Strategic Planning:
    Strategize with center/project leaders to develop plans and advance objectives
    Foster critical thinking about top priorities, anticipate potential obstacles, and recommend possible solutions, infrastructure or resources to execute well

    Knowledge, Skills & Experience

    Significant project management experience with complex projects involving multiple internal and external partners and dynamic environments; project management experience in the area of education is a plus, but not required.

    Strong collaborative, team player who is self-reflective and treats challenging or uncertain situations as opportunities to learn and grow. Able to juggle competing demands and prioritize without sacrificing quality.

    Excellent at organizing, attending to detail, meeting deadlines, and taking a task or project from concept to completion, while also being flexible and adaptable.

    Consults with others frequently, but also proposes creative solutions to problems and gets things rolling without much guidance.
    Excellent relationship management and communication skills (written and verbal) across lines of difference, such as race or other identities.

    Truly welcomes viewpoints that differ from their own, and is able to "sit with" discomfort when people express themselves in ways that aren't familiar to them.

    Familiarity with systems thinking and quality improvement approaches, including the use of data for improvement, is desired.
    PMP certification is preferred.
    Logistics
    This is a full time position with competitive salary and benefits (medical, dental, retirement). Salary range $85,000-$95,000.

    Start date:
    August 1, 2024
