Project Manager

MySchool is a web-based platform that helps schools organise their data, streamline their processes and engage with their communities. We’ve been around for 15 years and help over 200 schools worldwide with their daily needs. Whereas we are involved in large and long-term contracts with governments and multinational organisations, we want to outgrow our regional player status to become a global force in the EdTech industry. 

We are a team that is passionate about education and providing the best solutions for administrators, students, and parents alike. Our team is collaborative, fun, and always looking for new and innovative ways to improve the lives of the people we serve. We’re proud of our work/life balance, the diversity and inclusiveness of our team, its drive and professional calibre. Everyone in the company has access to a well-being budget, a self-development budget and a work-from-home budget.

We are hiring a Project Manager to take ownership of client project delivery across both long term initiatives and shorter feature driven work.

This role sits between clients, Business Analysis and Engineering. You will be responsible for ensuring that projects are clearly defined, realistically planned and delivered without losing control of scope or timelines.

You will operate in an environment where requirements are not always clear and client expectations are not always realistic. Your role is to bring structure without slowing things down, and to ensure that what reaches development is well understood and actionable.

This is not a coordination role. You are expected to take ownership, challenge assumptions, and drive delivery.

• Manage long term project plans while balancing shorter term feature delivery

• Work closely with the Business Analyst to ensure requirements are clear, structured and ready for development

• Ensure engineering receives well defined work

• Manage scope, change requests and client expectations in a controlled and realistic way

• Challenge unrealistic timelines and align delivery with actual team capacity

• Act as the main point of contact for project stakeholders

• Track progress, identify risks early and take action to resolve them

• Provide clear and direct updates on project status, risks and trade offs

• Drive continuous improvement in how projects are delivered

• 3 - 5 years experience managing projects in a software or SaaS environment

• Strong ability to take unclear or incomplete requirements and structure them into actionable work

• Experience working closely with Business Analysts and development teams

• Confidence to push back on clients and internal stakeholders when timelines or scope are unrealistic

• Ability to manage both long term projects and short term delivery at the same time

• Strong ownership mindset with a focus on outcomes, not just process

• Have good communication skill

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

• Familiarity with structured project management approaches such as PRINCE2

• Experience in EdTech or working with schools

• Experience delivering complex systems or modules such as scheduling, reporting or assessments

• Experience in SaaS environments with ongoing feature development

• Exposure to product thinking or working alongside product or business analysis functions
