About the role

Outschool is on a path to become the leading Education Savings Account (ESA) platform in the country. Over the past few years we built the operations and systems that made that growth possible — entering new funding marketplaces, standing up reimbursement, and serving families across a fast-growing set of state programs.

What they're looking for

  • Proven project or program management experience leading cross-functional initiatives to on-time, on-budget delivery
  • A track record of acting as a trusted partner across functions — not just tracking a plan, but building enough credibility with each team that they bring you problems early
  • Comfortable working through disagreement: can surface competing priorities between teams, facilitate toward a decision, and communicate tradeoffs and risks to stakeholders clearly, even without formal authority
  • Strong operational and process orientation, with the ability to turn ambiguous, fast-changing requirements into clear, repeatable workflows
  • A track record of not just running operations but improving them — finding efficiencies and building processes that scale with growth
  • Demonstrated use of AI tools to speed up delivery and improve efficiency

Outschool’s mission is to inspire kids to love learning. In our fast-changing world, the traditional educational system struggles to meet the diverse and evolving needs of young learners. Outschool reimagines this system, offering flexible and engaging learning experiences as a supplement and alternative to traditional education.
