• Oversee multiple projects simultaneously within the Student Growth product team
• Triage production issues and provide run-time support as needed
• Join a team committed to building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment

In this role you will collaborate with other Guild Student Growth team members including: Julia McEwen (Senior Product Manager), Matt Burdumy (Senior Product Manager), Eric Cadow (Engineering Manager), Libby Balogh (Technical Program Manager), Katie Corder-Paul (Director of Student Operations), and Mike Cornelius (Director of Enrollment Operations)

You are a strong fit for this role if you have:

• Project Management experience in a startup or similar fast-paced environment where there is frequent change and multiple competing priorities
• 2+ years as a project manager, program manager, delivery manager, product owner, scrum master or similar role
• Excellent communication skills with demonstrated ability to successfully collaborate with colleagues in technical and non-technical roles on cross functional teams
• Experience delivering large web-based projects involving multiple workstreams
