Senior Project Lead

(Freelance/Full-time for Mgmt Consultants)

About Primerli

Primerli is an early-stage, high-growth EdTech startup that’s raising the bar in professional learning.  Despite the fact that “content” is more engaging than ever in many spaces, most professional learning content is notoriously boring, slow, and ineffective. 

At the same time, the need for effective professional learning content is skyrocketing: project-based work is on the rise, as are multi-sector careers.  Today’s professionals aren’t staying in boxes. 

At Primerli, we know how to get people up to speed quickly on new topics - and out of their old boxes.   We make learning complex things easy and, frankly, delightful.   

Our content is clear (think: your favorite teacher), insightful (think: your best consulting SteerCo decks), and simply fun to consume (think: your favorite podcast). Put simply, we are making learning content that professionals want to binge-watch.

The role

Experienced Consultant. Expert Learner and Teacher. Insight Seeker. Qualitative Problem Solver. Structured Thinker. Storyteller.

This role is suited for consultants with serious creative skills who’ve always wanted to be part of an entrepreneurial journey.

Primerli has built a library of some of the highest-rated e-learning content out there. Learner feedback is resoundingly positive and our primers consistently rank at the top of any platform they’re launched on. 

We are accelerating our content engine, and this role will be in the driver's seat for our future content. Essentially, you’ll own the development of our online industry primers from ideation to launch. Day-to-day responsibilities include:

  • Collaborating with experts around the world to learn how different industries work
  • Finding the most interesting and clear way to teach how those industries work
  • Bringing examples, research, and other insights to bear in a way that increases engagement and deepens understanding of the topic
  • Writing clear, concise, and occasionally witty scripts (that will ultimately become animated videos)
  • Pitching visual story ideas to explain complex business concepts in an engaging way

While the company is based in California, you will be working remotely with a global team and reporting directly to the Head of Product, who is a former BCG Project Leader with more than six years of consulting experience across different geographies.

This role can be Freelance or Full Time. Primerli is a early-stage start-up; there are significant growth opportunities for candidates looking to help shape the future of our Product.

What we’re looking for

Strong values: You care about others, not just yourself, and you see competitiveness as complementary, not a barrier, to showing compassion, kindness, and empathy

Passion for storytelling: You love distilling complexity into simple and satisfying explanations

Intellectual curiosity: You ask insightful questions and like going far down the rabbit hole to explore beyond the obvious

Learner/teacher: Not only do you love learning new things, but you can also explain even the most complex topics in a simple, understandable way.

Entrepreneurial drive: You constantly challenge the status quo, come up with better ways to do things, and take extreme ownership of your work. You are highly comfortable with ambiguity.

Growth mindset: You value personal growth and helping others grow by giving and receiving transparent feedback

Everyday excellence: The idea of “good enough” is not good enough for you. You admire great products, pursue quality, strive for excellence in everything you do

Consulting & education background: At least three years of consulting experience (and some time as a consulting manager) in a leading consulting firm and a keen interest in raising the bar in digital learning
