The Project Manager & Writer will work closely with the Core Team, as well as the Dean and members of the Dean’s Advisory Council.

The Faculty of Education is comprised of four academic Departments and two Schools, a large teacher education program, and a variety of centers and service units. There are over 2000 post-baccalaureate and graduate students, plus over 200 full-time faculty and about 160 staff.

Work Performed

Track decisions, ensure timely follow-up on action items, and maintain clear documentation of progress, while communicating outcomes and adjusting project timelines as necessary.
- Lead the execution of various sub-projects and initiatives determined by the Core Team, such as consultation sessions, focus groups, and roadmap development. Ensure each initiative is effectively scoped, resourced, and aligned with the overall strategic goals.
- Conduct research and perform data analysis to inform decision-making and support the development of strategic planning documentation, including producing high-quality reports, plans, briefing notes, schedules, and presentations tailored to the needs of different stakeholders.
- Serve as the primary writer and editor for the strategic plan and its associated documents, developing interim reports, summaries, and comprehensive final deliverables, prepare and present PowerPoint presentations and other communication materials that clearly convey the status and vision of the strategic plan.
- Manage internal and external communications related to the strategic planning process, including drafting the Dean’s speeches, updating the Faculty’s website, and creating announcements to keep stakeholders informed of project progress and outcomes.
