[Hiring] Project Manager @Faria Education Group

Role Description

As a Project Manager , you will own a portfolio of client school implementations end-to-end: from initial scope sign-off through to final project handover. You will serve as the trusted, single point of contact guiding schools through this journey.

• 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.

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).

Requirements

• Familiarity with formal project management methodologies (e.g., PMP, PRINCE2).
• Hands-on experience with project management or Professional Services Automation (PSA) tools (e.g., ClickUp, Planhat).
• Background in education or school leadership, providing immediate credibility when discussing change management with school staff.
• Capacity and ambition to step up to multi-school group or district-level project ownership.

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience, and performance bonuses based on KPIs.
• Monthly Health & Wellness Allowance.
• Team socials.
