Edtech Mobile App Project Manager Needed

I’m midway through building a mobile-first Edtech platform and I need a seasoned project manager to keep the development and testing effort on track. All coding is handled by a small distributed team, but they need clear sprint goals, tight QA loops, and decisive leadership so we can hit our launch window without compromising quality.

What I expect you to take charge of
• Build and maintain a realistic project roadmap that covers every sprint from current alpha through public release.
• Translate high-level product requirements into sprint backlogs the developers can execute against.
• Run daily stand-ups, sprint planning, demos, and retros, using Jira (or a comparable agile tool) to keep work items visible and accountable.
• Coordinate closely with our QA engineer to create and enforce test plans, regression cycles, and bug-triage priorities.
• Provide weekly progress reports summarizing burn-down, risks, and next steps in plain language the leadership team can act on.
• Keep communication flowing among design, engineering, and content stakeholders so no dependency slips through the cracks.

Acceptance criteria
1. A living project plan in Jira (or similar) that reflects all current tasks, owners, and deadlines.
2. Documented QA/test plan showing pass/fail criteria for each user story.
3. Weekly written status update delivered every Friday by 17:00 GMT.
4. Successful hand-off to the internal team at launch, including all documentation and retrospective notes.

The tech stack revolves around React Native, Firebase, and Stripe, so familiarity with those tools is a plus, but what really matters is your ability to organize people, time, and scope in a fast-moving mobile environment.

If you have a track record of steering software development for learning apps—or any mobile product with high quality expectations—and you’re comfortable owning delivery end-to-end, I’m ready to get started right away.
