​This is a Full-Time, Fixed-Term (6 months) role at Risepoint, an education technology partner that helps universities launch and manage online programs. This position sits within the Business Technology (BT) group and is focused on the end-to-end delivery of high-stakes technology initiatives, particularly those affecting downstream integrations.

• ​Location: US – Remote.
• ​Duration: 6-month fixed-term contract.
• ​Experience Required: 5–7+ years of project management leading cross-functional enterprise projects.
• ​Methodology: Strong preference for Waterfall experience.
• ​Core Tooling: Adobe Workfront.

​Key Responsibilities: Enterprise Execution & Integration

​The BT Project Manager is responsible for the technical “connective tissue” of the organization, ensuring that complex business technology projects don’t disrupt vital integrated systems.

​Project Planning & Schedule Management

​You will develop and maintain highly detailed project plans and schedules. Since the role prefers a Waterfall approach, you will be responsible for defining clear phases, dependencies, and milestones to ensure the project remains within scope and budget.

​Integration & Downstream Impact

​A unique focus of this role is owning technology initiatives that impact downstream integrations. You will coordinate between technical teams and business units to ensure that a change in one system (e.g., a CRM update) does not break a linked system (e.g., student enrollment or financial reporting).

​Risk Mitigation and Stakeholder Facilitation

​You will facilitate structured, outcome-driven sessions with stakeholders across the enterprise. Part of your daily routine involves proactively identifying risks and removing roadblocks to maintain momentum in what Risepoint describes as a “fast-paced, dynamic environment.”

​Documentation & Standards

​Using Adobe Workfront, you will communicate project status and milestones to leadership while upholding Risepoint’s organizational project management standards and best practices.

​Required Qualifications & Skills

​Risepoint is looking for a leader who can manage “interconnected” workstreams—where the success of one depends heavily on the accuracy of another.

• ​Enterprise Experience: 5–7 years leading complex, cross-functional projects.
• ​Software Proficiency: Deep experience with Adobe Workfront (or similar enterprise-grade tools).
• ​Waterfall Expertise: Ability to manage projects using traditional sequential phases.
• ​Certification: PMP (Project Management Professional) or equivalent is preferred.
• ​Strategic Awareness: The ability to see the “big picture” of university partnership goals while executing the technical minute details.

​Why This Role is Unique

​This role is specifically tailored for a Waterfall specialist in a world that is increasingly Agile. In the context of “Higher Ed” technology and “Enterprise Integrations,” a sequential, highly-documented approach is often required for stability. While it is a 6-month contract, the complexity of the “downstream integrations” mentioned suggests a high-impact period of technical transition for Risepoint.
