PROJECT SPECIALIST

The State Education Resource Center (SERC) is seeking qualified candidates for a full-time
Project Specialist position with a strong background in Graphic Design to visually tell and share
SERC’s story. The Project Specialist will coordinate professional learning projects and events,
provide creative graphic design support for communications and materials, and ensure smooth
operations and effective team collaboration in support of the Communications, Media, and
Publications Manager. This role is responsible for supporting end-to-end project delivery through
cross-functional coordination, budget oversight, expense tracking, and resource management to
ensure projects are completed efficiently and aligned with organizational goals. The position
reports directly to the Director of Program Budgets and Services Administration.

At SERC, our mission is grounded in a deep and unwavering commitment to equity and social
justice. We believe every student deserves access to educational opportunities that honor and
reflect their unique identities, abilities, and experiences. No matter a student’s race, ethnicity,
gender, socioeconomic status, or background, we are dedicated to providing programs and
services that empower, uplift, and inspire them.

Through our resources, professional development offerings, and centralized library—core
components of our legislative responsibility—we work to dismantle systemic barriers and foster
environments built on compassion, accountability, and transformative change.

Our team members, in collaboration with the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE)
and partners in school districts and community organizations, support educators, service providers,
and families in strengthening their capacity to meet the diverse needs of all students.

If you are passionate about being part of a team that works to make education more equitable and
inclusive—and you value collaboration, innovation, and purpose—we would love to have you join
us.
