Seeking a highly motivated and intellectually curious Project Manager to join the In-State Capacity Project. 

In this role, you will directly support a team of two across time zones by leading external scheduling processes and by providing significant executive-level support.

You must be self-motivated and comfortable working in a virtual environment. Occasional in-person meetings happen throughout the year.
