Job summary

STAR Autism Support seeks a Manager, Planning, Operations, and Delivery to lead and scale a planning and delivery function across curriculum, software, and QA. You will start as an individual contributor and build a small team of project managers, reporting to the CTO, with credibility across non-technical leaders.

The role emphasizes agile coaching, cross-functional planning, risk management, and measurement, leveraging dashboards and governance to improve delivery velocity and alignment with

Qualifications

• 7+ years in project, program, or delivery management, including leading agile teams.
• Active Scrum certification (CSM, PSM, or equivalent).
• Experience coaching teams and leaders on agile practice, including teams new to it or skeptical of it.
• Experience managing a portfolio of concurrent projects and reporting on it to senior leadership.
• Experience facilitating cross-functional planning discussions and managing programs involving multiple teams and stakeholders.
• Experience implementing project delivery processes, governance frameworks, or operating models.
• Hands-on with agile and project tracking tools, including building dashboards and reports.
• Track record of building process where little exists and keeping it proportionate.
• Strong writing and facilitation skills.
• Comfort working across different kinds of work. You will not be able to treat every team as a software team.

Responsibilities

• Build trusted relationships across executive leadership, curriculum, product, engineering, and operations teams to align priorities and drive delivery outcomes.
• Coach teams across curriculum, software, and QA on Scrum practice: sprint planning, backlog refinement, estimation, and retrospectives.
• Act as scrum master for one or two teams to start, then hand those duties off as the team grows.
• Adapt agile practice to the type of work. Curriculum has fixed print and school-year deadlines and long review cycles. Software ships continuously.
• Help teams improve how they break down and size work so we can forecast with some confidence.
• Lead organizational adoption of new delivery practices, processes, and tools while balancing consistency with team autonomy.
• Maintain a current view of every active project: scope, owner, milestones, status, risks, dependencies.
• Own intake and prioritization so new work starts with clear sponsorship and capacity behind it.
• Track quarterly cross-functional planning where dependencies between curriculum, software, and QA get surfaced and sequenced.
• Manage risks and issues to resolution, with a named owner on every item.
• Keep project tooling configured so status comes out of the work, not a separate reporting exercise.
• Partner with CTO to evaluate portfolio priorities, trade-offs, capacity constraints, and investment decisions.
