Academic Program Manager

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in India.

📋 Description

• Take full ownership of the content-production plan from beginning to end.

• Coordinate every academic resource through the phases of planning, creation, review, publishing, and printing across various subjects and teams, ensuring progress ahead of deadlines.

• Manage the master academic calendar.

• Establish new resource streams.

• Motivate and align the teams responsible for execution.

• Identify and address bottlenecks a week in advance.

• Focus on building the system, not just creating the schedule.

⛳️ Requirements

• Proven experience in owning a plan or system, whether in operations, program or project coordination, or a high-stakes execution role where operational mistakes had immediate repercussions.

• Strong analytical judgment: you can differentiate between a plan that appears viable on paper and one that can withstand real-world challenges.

• Proficiency in Google Sheets, with the capability to create readable, scalable trackers that other teams rely on, rather than merely performing basic data entry.

• Practical experience with project management software (such as Monday.com, ClickUp, or Asana) to enhance team accountability and clarity on status.

• The innate ability to coordinate and inspire individuals you do not directly manage: you drive a plan forward through clarity and follow-up rather than authority.

• Exceptional attention to detail when handling complex, overlapping timelines and dependencies, coupled with sharp, concise communication that highlights risks early on.

🏝️ Benefits

• Fully remote work opportunity available anywhere in India.

• Standard working hours are from 9 AM to 5 PM IST.

• Competitive compensation that is benchmarked to the role and your experience, with open discussions about it early in the hiring process.
