• Support resource onboarding and coordinate logistics across cross-functional project teams
• Assist with invoice tracking, budget monitoring, and procurement documentation
• Maintain organized, version-controlled project documentation accessible to all team members
• Flex into supporting areas outside your core role as business needs evolve — agility is expected

QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor's degree preferred — equivalent experience in a project support or coordination role is welcome
• 1–3 years of experience in a project support or coordination role; consulting or tech firm experience a plus
