Our Mission: Project Invent empowers youth with future-ready mindsets to succeed individually and impact globally, through invention.
Our Vision: A generation of fearless, compassionate problem solvers.
Description: Project Invent is a national nonprofit empowering middle and high school students across the country to invent technologies for social impact. We train teachers in design thinking, engineering, and entrepreneurship to lead students through identifying real problems in their communities and inventing impactful solutions. At the end of the year, students pitch their inventions to tech and business leaders at our Demo Day events. Since 2018, we've grown from one to 70 schools across the country, with 70% of our Fellows teaching in low-income serving schools.
As a Program Manager, you will lead team support efforts for our schools and will work to ensure our fellowship is a positive and formative experience for all of our educators. The ideal candidate loves supporting educators and is excited about building a community, online and offline. You will do everything from brainstorming & backwards planning with educators, managing the digital community platform, speaking at conferences, coordinating educators' grant programs, piloting new programs, and more.
What we're looking for…
- Passion for supporting educators as they deliver innovative education.
- Commitment to empowering students to be creative, resilient, empathetic problem solvers.
- Enthusiastic facilitation skills, in-person and online.
- Strong networking skills: not afraid to cold email, network at conferences, and start conversations with potential partners.
- Detail orientation: can handle high volume of emails, complex scheduling, and managing progress of 60+ program Fellows.
- Willing to travel (primarily within the US) about 5-8 times per year.
- Experience as a Title 1 educator is a plus.
- Experience with maker education and/or invention education is a plus.
- Experience with teaching Arduino and/or micro:bit is a plus.
- Experience with CRM software (i.e. Salesforce) is a plus.

- (10%) Workshop Facilitation: Coordinate and facilitate training, workshops, and events virtually and at national conferences.
- (10%) Fellow Progress Tracking: Deploy surveys & other data collection tools to monitor the implementation and impact of Project Invent programs.
