About The Position

We're hiring a Project Coordinator / Associate Project Manager to help keep our cross-functional teams aligned and projects on track as we push toward public launch. This role offers flexible title, time, and commitment, catering to full-time, part-time, side-gig, or fractional arrangements. As a funded startup racing toward launch, we need someone to coordinate moving pieces across engineering sprints, marketing campaigns, hiring, partnerships, and fundraising. The ideal candidate will track timelines, follow up on action items, run standups and syncs, maintain project boards, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. This is a role focused on information flow and coordination, not people management or product definition. A successful launch may lead to permanent job opportunities.

Proactive — you follow up without being asked and flag issues early

Coordinate across teams — make sure engineering, marketing, ops, and leadership are aligned on priorities and timelines
Surface risks early — identify blockers, dependencies, and timeline risks before they become crises
Review current project management setup and understand how work is tracked
Meet team leads and understand their priorities and pain points
Take ownership of at least one project board or tracker and start cleaning it up
