About Arivihan

Arivihan is an edtech company building learning products that help students learn, practice, and succeed. We're a fast-moving team focused on shipping high-quality, reliable learning experiences at scale.

About the Role

We're looking for a Technical Project Manager to lead the planning and execution of our edtech product and platform initiatives, from learning apps and content platforms to assessment and analytics tools. You'll work closely with engineering, product, content, and design teams to keep initiatives on track, remove blockers, and ensure we're shipping high-quality software on time. This role is ideal for someone who understands both the technical side of software development and the people/process side of project management, and who's excited about building products that impact students' learning outcomes.

What You'll Do

Own end-to-end delivery of software projects, from scoping and planning through launch and post-launch review, across Arivihan's learning platform, content tools, and student-facing apps

Translate product and content requirements into technical project plans, timelines, and milestones in collaboration with engineering leads

Facilitate sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, and other agile ceremonies

Identify risks, dependencies, and blockers early (including content pipeline, academic calendar, and exam-cycle dependencies), and drive them to resolution

Manage cross-functional stakeholder communication across engineering, product, content/academic teams, and leadership, providing clear status updates

Track project metrics (velocity, burndown, cycle time) and use them to improve team predictability

Coordinate release planning and deployment schedules with engineering and QA teams, being mindful of high-traffic periods like exam seasons and admission cycles

Maintain project documentation, roadmaps, and backlogs in tools like Jira, Linear, or Asana

Balance scope, timeline, and resource constraints, escalating tradeoffs to stakeholders when needed

Champion process improvements to increase team efficiency and delivery quality

What We're Looking For

4–6 years of experience as a Technical Project Manager, Program Manager, or similar role in a software/SaaS environment

Strong understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and agile/scrum methodologies

Ability to read technical requirements and communicate effectively with engineers about architecture, APIs, and technical constraints

Hands-on experience with project management tools (Jira, Linear, Asana, or similar) and collaboration tools (Confluence, Notion)

Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

Strong verbal and written communication skills, with experience presenting to technical and non-technical stakeholders

Comfortable working on-site and collaborating in person with cross-functional teams

Problem-solving mindset with a bias toward proactive risk management

Nice to Have

Prior experience in an edtech company or on education/learning products

Prior experience as a software engineer, QA engineer, or in a technical role

Certification in Scrum (CSM), PMP, or SAFe

Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and release management processes

Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

Understanding of LMS platforms, content management systems, or assessment/testing engines

What We Offer

Competitive salary and benefits package

Opportunity to work closely with a talented engineering team building products that impact students' learning outcomes

Clear path for growth into senior program management or engineering leadership roles
