[Hiring] Project Manager, AI Transformation @Curriculum Associates

Role Description

Curriculum Associates is on an ambitious journey to embed AI across our organization — and this role sits at the center of that work. As a Project Manager on our Transformation team, you'll drive the coordination, execution, and operational follow-through that turns strategy into real outcomes, with a specific focus on the AI aspects of transformation initiatives.

You'll partner with business leaders, functional teams, and executive stakeholders across a portfolio of complex, cross-functional AI initiatives — keeping projects on track, risks visible, and learnings accessible to the whole organization. This is a high-visibility role with direct impact on how we adopt, scale, and realize value from AI.

The impact you'll have:

• Project Management & Execution
  • Collaborate with business leaders and AI stakeholders on early-stage project definition — scoping, success criteria, and readiness assessment
  • Manage project plans, track milestones, and proactively identify, escalate, and address risks
  • Apply CA's Transformation framework to lead process documentation, future-state design, gap analysis, and stakeholder mapping
  • Support communications planning, stakeholder engagement tracking, and change management interventions
  • Facilitate cross-functional alignment by surfacing interdependencies, synergies, and downstream impacts
• AI Transformation Coordination
  • Partner with AI Adoption, transformation, and functional leaders to coordinate planning and execution across AI initiatives
  • Establish and maintain centralized tracking of AI initiatives, key decisions, dependencies, milestones, and project learnings
  • Translate evolving AI strategy into executable project structures, workstreams, and cross-functional action plans
  • Facilitate knowledge capture and synthesis to reduce duplication and improve enterprise visibility into outcomes
• AI Enablement Support
  • Support AI enablement events, onboarding materials, and adoption campaigns — managing logistics and tracking participation
  • Build and maintain initiative-level reporting for leadership: status dashboards, adoption metrics, risk registers, and milestone summaries
  • Develop standardized templates, playbooks, and runbooks to ensure consistency and repeatability across AI transformation projects

Qualifications

• 6+ years in transformation, project management, program management, and/or change management — supporting large-scale, cross-functional initiatives.
• Experience with digital, technology, or AI-related initiatives in a complex organizational environment (preferred).
• Track record working across multiple stakeholder groups, including business leaders, functional teams, and executive sponsors.
• Experience building project structures, milestone plans, status reporting, and centralized documentation for enterprise initiatives.

Requirements

• High emotional intelligence and ability to manage cross-functional and executive-level stakeholders through complex change
• Strong strategic mindset and business acumen with sound judgment and creative problem-solving
• Familiarity with transformation methodologies, including digital transformation approaches
• Proficiency with project management tools such as Smartsheet, Jira, Confluence, or similar
• Change management experience and familiarity with research-backed frameworks and practices
• Ability to guide executive-level decision-making — facilitating conversations, building consensus, and translating goals into clearly defined initiatives
• Exceptional written, verbal, and presentation communication skills across diverse audiences
• Ability to manage complex, emerging-technology initiatives with many stakeholders, evolving requirements, and cross-functional dependencies
• Experience building centralized tracking, documentation, and knowledge-sharing mechanisms that improve visibility and reuse
• Comfort working across business, technical, and operational teams to support scalable AI execution
