Project Manager, Learning Products

About the Role 

TorranceLearning is leading the design and development of a large curriculum of self-paced elearning (and some vILT) for a critical Federal agency initiative. We’re seeking a Project Manager to support the Lead Project Manager and Program Manager in keeping delivery operations running smoothly across a high-volume development pipeline. 

This work follows our LLAMA® Agile approach and a structured iterative lifecycle. You’ll support the Program Management team by running the delivery “engine” behind the scenes: keeping ClickUp and schedules clean, coordinating review cycles and sign-offs, tracking burn/variance, and communicating with internal and external stakeholders so multiple modules can move through LLAMA iterations smoothly and on time. 

Job Details 

• Pay rate: $55–65/hour (1099) 

• Weekly hours: ~32–48 hours depending on project phase and client response (hours are not guaranteed). 

• Location: Remote; all work must be completed within the United States. 

• Collaboration hours: This project runs on Eastern Time business hours and requires daytime availability for real-time collaboration. 

• Travel is not required; any client-required travel would be paid. 

• You must be able to secure Public Trust clearance prior to contract start.  

How Delivery Works 

Work is delivered in waves using LLAMA® iterations: Skeleton → Alpha → Beta → Final. 

• Work is delivered in waves: up to 5 modules in development at once 

• Each module follows a structured lifecycle (e.g., Alpha → Beta → Final) 

• Full design/build lifecycle is approximately 12 weeks 

• A new wave launches about every 3 weeks 

• During a limited surge period, up to 3 waves may overlap at once  

• Client review windows are built into the lifecycle 

If you like keeping lots of moving parts organized and unblocked, you’ll thrive here. 

What You’ll Do (Responsibilities) 

Delivery Operations & Tracking 

• Maintain ClickUp as the system of record for statuses, due dates, assignments 

• Maintain Microsoft Project plans for module dependencies, schedules, key milestones, and ensure tasks are sequenced correctly across concurrent waves 

• Track and reconcile estimated vs. actual hours, flagging variances and trends to the Lead PM/Program Manager 

• Produce module-level burn-down charts and reporting artifacts to support delivery forecasting 

Meetings & Communication Support 

• Provide meeting support for recurring ceremonies (agenda prep, attendance tracking, notes, action items, follow-ups) 

• Occasionally facilitate internal meetings when needed (e.g., standups/status check-ins) 

• Support client communications through updates, follow-ups, and documentation (under the direction of the Lead PM) 

Reviews, QA, and Compliance Coordination 

• Coordinate client review cycles (Alpha/Beta/Validation): distribute review packages/links, track feedback, consolidate inputs, and ensure responses are routed and closed 

• Coordinate internal QA and Section 508 compliance gates; ensure required testing/sign-offs are recorded before final delivery 

• Support version control and file organization in SharePoint to maintain a clear source of truth 

Reporting & Stakeholder Support 

• Create weekly internal and client-facing status reports (progress, risks/issues, upcoming milestones, needed decisions) 

• Track sign-offs across reviewer groups and ensure approvals are captured for each module as required 

Escalation & Decision Support 

• Identify risks early and escalate appropriately; this role supports decision-making but does not own scope approvals or client commitments 

Tools & Collaboration Environment 

• ClickUp (project tracking / system of record) 

• SharePoint (files and version control) 

• Teams + Slack (communication) 

• Review tool + spreadsheets (capturing/triaging feedback) 

What You Bring 

Required 

• Experience supporting project delivery in a fast-paced, multi-workstream environment 

• Familiarity with the Learning development lifecycle and iterative review cycles (Alpha/Beta/Validation or equivalent) for all kinds of learning deliverables 

• Strong coordination skills for tracking details, following up, and keeping work moving across multiple contributors 

• Comfort building and maintaining project reporting artifacts (status reports, burn-down, variance tracking) 

• Clear written communication and strong meeting support skills (notes, action items, follow-ups) 

Preferred 

• Experience supporting an Agile management approach for instructional design work (LLAMA® familiarity is a plus) 

• Experience working on Federal projects 

Nice to Have 

• Experience with high-volume content production. 

• A willingness to roll with the changes. 

What Good Looks Like in This Role 

• ClickUp stays trustworthy: Tasks are current so the team can rely on ClickUp as the source of truth without chasing updates. 

• Review cycles run clean: Client reviews coordinated smoothly, with packages out on time using templates to ensure timely and professional communication. 

• Estimates vs. actuals are visible: Module-level burn/variance is updated consistently, trends are surfaced early, and the Lead PM/Program Manager get actionable insights. 

• Teams stay aligned: Meetings produce clear notes, decisions, and action items; contributors stay coordinated across parallel modules and phases. 

• Professional client support: Client interactions are crisp, accurate, and calm; questions get routed/answered quickly, with issues escalated appropriately and commitments are tracked through to closure.
