ICT is Hiring a Project Manager

In Class Today (“ICT”) is a fast-growing education startup that translates cutting-edge behavioral science and education research into a service that benefits public school districts and the students and families they serve. ICT is on pace to increase attendance among at-risk students by more than 1,000,000 days by 2020. ICT serves diverse communities and is committed to having a diverse team.��

The Project Manager position involves a wide portfolio of work. For example, the Project Manager will assist the management of school/district partnerships, the collection of data, mail vendors and the mail production process, communications with families who have questions about ICT’s services, expense tracking, strategic and operations research, and summary impact statements. 

ICT is a small start-up which means the work is highly collaborative. The Project Manager position is an excellent opportunity for those interested in growing into a senior position, or eventually pursuing advanced degrees. Past staff working for ICT co-founder Todd Rogers (a professor at Harvard) have gone on to earn higher degrees (e.g., MBA, MPP, and PhD) at universities including Harvard, Chicago, Yale, Penn, and Stanford. 

Project Manager should have a combination of the following skills: 

Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, which involves: - collaborating with multiple key stakeholders - communicating with a variety of audiences about each project - managing multiple work streams and timelines per project 

Strong attention to detail and ability to problem solve on the spot

Comfort in, and familiarity with, public K-12 schools (preferably experience teaching or working with under-resourced communities)

Strong writing, editing, organization, and interpersonal skills · Ability to work with a small, highly collaborative team

Enthusiasm for learning new skills quickly on the job

Bilingual in English and either Spanish or Mandarin a plus

Comfort with statistical analysis and software useful but not necessary (e.g., SPSS, Stata, or R) Basic Requirements: BA/BS degree. MA or PhD a plus 

Applicants should submit resume and cover letter as PDF attachments to Johannes Demarzi (johannes@inclasstoday.com). Please put “Project Manager Application” in the subject line. Finalists may be asked to submit writing samples or transcripts and may be asked to perform a task simulation. ICT is headquartered in San Francisco, and therefore, the position requires relocating to the Bay Area. 

Working in Cambridge/Boston, MA (near Professor Todd Rogers at Harvard) is feasible in the short-term, if the intermediate-term plan involves moving to the Bay Area. Some travel may be required.
