Course Project Manager
We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation, and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.
Cambridge Online Education are looking to welcome an experienced Project Manager into the team for 12 months (maternity cover) to support us in delivering on our mission to provide outstanding educational experiences and launch 50 online courses for professionals by 2025. We’re a dynamic, fast growing team of creative minds in need of a self-starter to lead team collaboration with academics from the University of Cambridge, monitor course design and development and ensure we launch our world class courses on time and to budget.
Our mission is to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning, and research at the highest international levels of excellence. Which is why every year, we give vital support to millions of people in more than 170 countries around the world. From teachers and learners to researchers and academics, we help to build confidence, unlock potential, and enable success. We give people the opportunity to show what they’ve learnt, we spread knowledge, spark enquiry, and aid understanding.
We achieve this by embracing change, and continuously focusing on our customers’ needs. And by collaborating, and carefully listening to our customers and to each other, we keep moving forward, keep innovating, and keep finding newer and better ways of doing things.
The Role
You’re the person who makes everything run like clockwork. You will use superb project management and excellent communication skills, to keep the production of our online courses on track.
You juggle scope, innovation, time and resource for every project to ensure we maintain a high-quality product, challenge ourselves to think bigger and achieve our launch dates.
You keep a bird’s eye view but stay grounded in the development process and are not afraid get into the detail to problem solve help find plan B where it’s needed.
You’re the control room and help desk rolled into one. You lead and facilitate all internal and external communications, forging strong relationships with and between creative project teams of designers, developers, producers and editors, and Cambridge University Academics.
About You
You have a degree (or equivalent experience), have experience managing concurrent projects and know your RACI matrix from your RAID log. If you don’t already have PRINCE or AGILE, you’re looking for a team to support you in getting that extra qualification.
You’re a wizard with standard Microsoft programmes and know your way around scheduling and resource management software like Smartsheet and Trello.
The key to our work is our colleagues, whose shared commitment enables us to have an ever-greater impact. We are a united, vibrant, and respectful global community of people, and we ensure that every individual is recognised, listened to, and cared for. And because our impact is amplified when our people are empowered, we give everyone the opportunity to develop in their own way. Whether you want a career that’s linear, or want to follow your own path, we’ll support you, and help give you the resources and training you’ll need to be bold and take ownership of what you do.
Cambridge University Press & Assessment is committed to being a place where anyone can enjoy a successful career, where it’s safe to speak up, and where we learn continuously to improve together. We welcome applications from all candidates, regardless of demographic characteristics (age, disability, educational attainment, ethnicity, gender, marital status, neurodiversity, religion, sex, and sexual identity), cultural, or social class/background.
We believe that diversity of thought, background, and approach create better outcomes. More importantly, fostering an inclusive culture is the right thing to do, and it’s part of how we achieve our purpose: to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning and research at the highest international levels of excellence. Ensuring that anyone, no matter who they are, feels they belong here is an essential part of who we are and the contribution we make to society, and to our planet.
To enable an environment which our people can thrive in, our customers benefit from, and where work complements life, we empower everyone to manage their time and capacity, and to prioritise their wellbeing. That’s why from day one everyone at Cambridge University Press & Assessment can discuss flexible working options to find the best solution for them and their role.
The closing date for application is 17th April and interviews are scheduled to take place from Interview 25th-29th April.
