Risepoint is an education technology company that provides world-class support and trusted expertise to more than 100 universities and colleges. We primarily work with regional universities, helping them develop and grow their high-ROI, workforce-focused online degree programs in critical areas such as nursing, teaching, business, and public service. Risepoint is dedicated to increasing access to affordable education so that more students, especially working adults, can improve their careers and meet employer and community needs.
The Impact You Will Make
You’ll be the operational backbone of Risepoint’s Digital Experience Platform (DXP) transformation — the person who keeps complex, multi-team programs on track and moving. While others set strategy and roadmap, you’ll be the connective tissue: owning project plans, driving cross-functional alignment, clearing blockers, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. This role sits at the center of a high-visibility initiative that will reshape how Risepoint delivers digital experiences for 100+ university partners.

- Build and maintain project plans, milestone tracking, and status reporting for the DXP program, ensuring cross-functional teams are aligned and unblocked
- Partner closely with the DXP Marketing Ops Senior Manager and the Sr. Director DXP to coordinate readiness across partner launch waves and platform releases
- Facilitate cross-functional working sessions, status updates and other DXP meetings as needed, own agendas, action items, and follow-through
- Identify and resolve project risks, blockers, and dependencies proactively, escalating to senior management when needed
- Develop and optimize project workflows and processes within WorkFront
- Contribute to shared PMO standards and practices, ensuring consistency and visibility across the Digital Experience team
