Jr. Project Manager

About The Company

We’re a distributed technology group working on several initiatives related to digital finance and emerging tech. Our engineering and design teams contribute across multiple products, and strong coordination is essential to keep everything running smoothly. We’re looking for a Junior Project Coordinator to support our lead PM by managing the operational details that keep projects organized and moving forward.

Position Overview

In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with our lead project manager to turn high-level requirements into clearly structured tasks, organize them within our workflow tools, and keep track of progress across different streams of work. You’ll help maintain internal documentation, assist with planning cycles, and act as an initial contact point when the lead PM is tied up.

This position is ideal for someone early in their career who has a technical background, enjoys structured processes, and wants hands-on training in project management within a fast-paced tech environment.
