About the Role :

Our client is seeking a Project Coordinator to provide structure, communication, and accountability across projects.

  • Update Gantt charts, timelines, and task lists to reflect current project status.

Documentation & Reporting :

  • Capture meeting minutes, distribute agendas, and log action items.
  • Maintain organized documentation repositories (SharePoint, Google Drive, Confluence).
  • Prepare weekly project status reports and dashboards summarizing progress, risks, and blockers.
  • Communication & Coordination :

  • Act as liaison between project managers, team members, and stakeholders.
  • Ensure updates are communicated clearly and decisions are documented.
  • Follow up on outstanding tasks and escalate risks where needed.
  • Task & Resource Tracking :

  • Monitor task completion and dependencies.
  • Track resource allocation and update calendars for availability and workload.
  • Quality & Risk Monitoring :

  • Flag overdue tasks or blockers.
  • Ensure deliverables meet quality standards before submission.
  • Track and update risk registers.
  • Vendor & Partner Coordination :

  • Manage communication with external vendors or partners.
  • Track deliverables against contracts and escalate issues as needed.
  • What Makes You a Perfect Fit :

  • Highly organized, detail-focused, and proactive.
  • Strong communicator who ensures everyone is on the same page.
  • Comfortable juggling multiple projects and deadlines.
  • Process-driven with an ability to spot risks and gaps early.
  • Required Experience & Skills (Minimum) :

  • 2+ years in project coordination, operations, or administrative support.
  • Hands-on experience with project management tools (Asana, Trello, Monday.com, MS Project).
  • Excel / Google Sheets skills (trackers, pivot tables, conditional formatting).
  • Strong documentation and communication skills.
  • Ideal Experience & Skills :

  • PMP, CAPM, or Agile certification (or in progress).
  • Familiarity with Agile / Scrum and sprint planning.
  • Industry exposure in SaaS, marketing, professional services, or construction.
  • What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

    A Project Coordinator’s day revolves around keeping the team aligned, the plan updated, and stakeholders informed. You will :

  • Maintain project schedules so timelines, dependencies, and milestones are visible and accurate.
  • Track deliverables by following up with team members, updating task statuses, and escalating overdue items.
  • Document and report through meeting agendas, minutes, and weekly status updates.
  • Facilitate communication between stakeholders and team members, ensuring clarity on priorities and decisions.
  • Monitor risks and blockers so they are flagged early and addressed quickly.
  • Keep records current by maintaining project documentation and repositories for audit and reference.
  • In essence : you ensure that projects run smoothly, no deadlines are missed, and leadership always has clear visibility into progress and risks.

    Key Metrics for Success (KPIs) :

  • On-time delivery of milestones and tasks.
  • Weekly status reports and dashboards delivered consistently.
  • No missed deadlines due to poor coordination.
