Project Manager

Implementation and Project Delivery

• Lead end-to-end SIS platform deployments from kickoff through go-live, including discovery workshops with key campus stakeholders to map institutional requirements and legacy workflows.
• Maintain project timelines, track milestones, mitigate risks, and communicate status updates to internal teams and client steering committees.
• Support institutions through change management as they transition to a modern SaaS environment, advocating for out-of-the-box functionality over heavy customization.
• Conduct post-implementation reviews to capture lessons learned, identify optimization opportunities, and contribute to continuous improvement of internal methodologies and playbooks.

Higher

Education

• Consulting, Compliance and Data Governance

• Serve as a subject matter expert in higher education operations, including admissions, registration, grading, degree auditing, and financial aid, consulting with staff to redesign legacy processes around platform best practices.

• Ensure system configurations support compliance with federal and regional regulations (e.g., FERPA, Title IV) and champion responsible data governance practices throughout the implementation lifecycle.

• Configure predictive analytics models and early-warning systems to help advisors identify at-risk students, ensuring AI-assisted tools are used transparently, equitably, and free from bias.

• Technical Strategy and Integration

• Leverage AI-driven data mapping, cleansing, and automation tools across the project lifecycle to improve the efficiency and accuracy of data migration and client outcomes.

• Define integration requirements between the SIS and critical campus infrastructure such as LMS (e.g., Canvas, Blackboard), CRM, and ERP/financial systems.

• Translate complex academic policies (e.g., non-standard calendars, unique credit hour calculations) into actionable technical configurations.

• Client Success and Growth

• Develop and deliver targeted training sessions for campus staff, ensuring confidence and self-sufficiency in the new system before go-live.

• Build strong consultative relationships with university leadership, serving as their strategic partner and primary advocate while proactively identifying opportunities to expand platform adoption through additional modules and professional services.

• Partner with Sales and Account Management to develop account growth strategies, contribute to proposals, and support renewal conversations.

• Act as the voice of the customer by synthesizing feedback and implementation pain points to drive product roadmap improvements.

Requirements

• Proven ability to develop and deliver effective training programs for diverse stakeholder groups.

• Strong customer problem-solving skills with a track record of managing escalations and driving creative solutions.

• Hands-on experience leveraging AI tools to improve processes such as data migration, workflow automation, or analytics.

• Solid understanding of higher education operations and regulatory requirements such as FERPA, Title IV, and data governance principles.

• Demonstrated ability to identify and close upsell or cross-sell opportunities within an existing client base, with comfort in consultative selling and contributing to proposals.

• Excellent communication and presentation skills across all levels of institutional stakeholders.

• Performance in this role will be measured by: on-time go-live rate, client satisfaction (CSAT/NPS), training completion and effectiveness, post-go-live support ticket volume, install-base revenue growth, and process improvement contributions.

• What Would Make You Stand Out

• PMP, CAPM, or equivalent project management certification.

• Direct experience implementing SIS platforms (e.g., Ellucian, Jenzabar, or similar).

• Experience with AI-driven data migration or analytics tools in an enterprise environment.

• Background in change management methodologies or data governance policy development.

• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding install-base revenue targets in a professional services environment.

Our commitment to fair and equitable hiring. As part of our recruitment process, we use artificial intelligence (AI) tools during the initial screening phase to help identify candidates whose qualifications most closely align with the requirements of the role. This technology supports efficiency and consistency in the early stages, but it never replaces human judgement. All subsequent evaluations and final hiring decisions are made by our recruitment professionals. AI does not make final hiring decisions.
