Job summary

Faria Education Group is seeking a Project Manager to own a portfolio of client school implementations end-to-end, from scope sign-off to handover. You will guide schools through transitions, translate their needs into technical requirements, and manage detailed implementation schedules.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, coordinate data migrations, training, and ensure clear communication with school leaders to deliver on-time, in-scope rollouts across the region.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of project management experience with external clients, ideally within SaaS, EdTech, or professional services environments.
• Proven track record of owning full project lifecycles: scoping, project planning, team coordination, risk management, and formal project closure.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills and the ability to serve as a trusted advisor to school leadership during periods of organizational change.
• Ability to quickly master software suites and understand the underlying data and technical structures involved in software implementations.
• Strong understanding of regional educational systems and local market requirements.
• Excellent communication skills, with confidence presenting to school leaders and collaborating with technical engineering teams.
• Regional language skills are a strong plus (e.g., Arabic for EMEA-focused roles).

Responsibilities

• End-to-End Ownership: Lead the complete lifecycle of assigned client projects, ensuring documented scopes are delivered cleanly from kickoff to formal project closure.
• Client Advisory: Serve as the primary point of contact for school leaders, understanding their goals deeply enough to guide strategic decisions and navigate change.
• Technical & Business Translation: Bridge the gap between school leaders and internal technical services teams, translating educational needs into technical requirements and technical details into plain language.
• Project Planning & Governance: Build and maintain detailed Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) and timelines using standard templates, ensuring accurate tracking as projects progress.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Align internal specialists delivering configuration, curriculum data migration, and training to ensure cohesive project execution.
• Resource & Timeline Management: Manage resourcing dependencies and schedule overlaps, proactively identifying and resolving timeline risks.
• Seamless Handovers: Transition completed projects to long-term client success contacts with comprehensive documentation and clear handover summaries.
