The announcement text:

Flat World Knowledge is using technology and a unique approach to the market to revolutionize textbook publishing. We’re doing this by recognizing how the Internet is changing student consumer behavior (just like it has in how we consume music and news) in the years to come. We’re taking the concept of open-source to textbooks – a living, breathing work by an author that will continue to live and expand over time, with contributions from the instructors - available on line or audio, print-it-yourself, or print on demand, augmented by products that are available through interactivity and compliment the learning process.

We are looking for a smart, creative and experienced Technical Project Manager / Business Analyst to serve as the key link between the business and the technology. You will be part of our fast-moving technology team who is leading this change to the publishing industry through a new, dynamic approach to publishing products. You will derive, document, communicate, promote, and continuously refine product vision and roadmaps supporting business goals, objectives, and expectations.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Work with key business stakeholders in Marketing, Sales and Information Technology to understand business requirements, current issues and priorities.

• Translate business requirements into developed User Stories and functional requirements.

• Work with the engineering team directly to resolve project issues and roadblocks.

• Function as Agile Product Owner including strict curation of the Product Backlog.

• Evangelize products internally and externally and contribute heavily to overall product vision, future direction, and execution roadmap.

• Constantly interact with customer users, including running beta programs with early-stage products, feedback sessions, etc.

• Document product features for both internal and external consumption

• Work with external third parties to assess partnerships and opportunities.

Job Qualifications:

• BS/BA degree.

• 5+ years of development process and methodology experience required. Agile experience a STRONG PLUS.

• 3+ years of managing complex consumer facing web-based software development required.

• Excellent analytical skills and problem solving ability are a MUST HAVE! Must be comfortable communicating with and taking input from a variety of people, including senior management.

• Strong technical abilities (you can do things like write hackish SQL or scripts in PHP).

• Basic understanding of Internet technologies, especially open source development.

• Understanding of higher education student and professor market a big plus.

• A well developed sense of humor.

This position is based out of our corporate office - currently located in Nyack, NY, with plans to move to the Westchester area shortly.

Location: Westchester County

Compensation: Competitive, Plus stock options
