Job description
Great Minds, a rapidly growing, mission driven Public Benefits Corporation (PBC) that develops high quality knowledge building curricula for grades PK-12, seeks a Project Coordinator to join our growing Humanities team.
Company Profile
Great Minds brings teachers and scholars together to craft exemplary instructional materials that inspire joy in teaching and learning. Our curricula, Wit & Wisdom ®; Geodes; Eureka Math™; and PhD Science™ all support teachers as they take students beyond rote learning to provide a deeper, more complete understanding of the humanities, mathematics, and sciences. Founded in 2007, Great Minds now employs more than 1100 people.
For additional information please visit: www.greatminds.org
Our Market Position
Great Minds' Eureka Math™ is the most widely used curriculum in the history of American education. It enjoys an unrivaled 40+ net promoter score. Eureka Math™ and its sister products, Wit & Wisdom ® and PhD Science™, embrace much higher expectations for all students and all teachers. In a market dominated by scripted, procedural materials that drive expectations down, Great Minds produces curricula that celebrate knowledge, respect the craft of teaching, and acknowledge the true capabilities of students.
Position Summary
The Project Coordinator supports members of the program management team responsible for ensuring that Humanities projects are planned, scheduled, and executed on time and within budget. This role will work with multiple functional teams that are responsible for the production and delivery of Great Minds Humanities curricular materials ( Wit & Wisdom ® , Geodes, Great Minds History). This position is an exceptional opportunity for a highly organized and detail-oriented individual who possesses a commitment to Great Minds' organizational vision and who is interested in growing their project management skills. While the work is remote and the ideal candidate will work well independently, this will also be a highly collaborative position, necessitating a strong sense of teamwork and cooperation.
