Your impact 

The Senior Manager will be responsible for successfully executing high-growth workforce development programs for federal government clients. This role will primarily involve program operations design and end-to-end execution, but will also include a high level of client-facing account management. The role will operate cross-functionally across internal verticals, including the Business Development, Curriculum, Career Success, and Product teams. 

The ideal candidate is an excellent project manager, and is able to execute simultaneous competing deadlines and tasks involving multiple stakeholders. The Senior Manager is able to inspire direct reports, guiding their work on several levels, including giving a proper sense of how to prioritize and execute consistently. The Senior also will have significant exposure to the executive team at Correlation One, and be able to provide input on strategic decisions on how to scale our federal government programs. The ideal candidate also has strong client management and superior communication skills.

A successful Senior Manager is a quick learner with a strong work ethic who takes initiative and is able to navigate ambiguity productively and patiently. It is helpful if the Senior Manager has worked with federal government clients in a fast-paced industry like strategy consulting. They should have an interest in changing lives through education and a desire to work on larger and/or different programs as we continue to scale. Correlation One is a company where creativity, initiative, collaboration, and communication are valued.
