Scrum Team - Project Manager

A student in this position will understand the logistical aspects of the scrum team's projects based on information and mentorship from the We Write Stories team. We're looking for students interested in project managing the process of creating a book for a client from the onboarding to the finished product.

Consequently, many steps are needed to create something from nothing. Students in this position will be provided all necessary material, information, and access to software to overlook the scrum team's book project through a logistical lens. Students will help ensure the project's timelines are met by checking in with authors directly and communicating with the team.
