Project Manager for Amplify ELA

Amplify is reimagining the way teachers teach and students learn. We believe technology can empower classroom teachers to offer more personalized instruction, and accelerate the potential of individual students to become more active, engaged learners.

The Project Manager will lead customer implementations of the Amplify ELA product. Amplify ELA engages today’s digital natives with an interactive core curriculum that brings complex texts to life and inspires students to read more deeply, write more vividly and think more critically.
