About The Position

Melanin Money is on a mission to close the Wealth Gap by $100 billion - empowering 100,000 people of color to achieve their first $1 million in net worth. Through curriculum, community, and coaching, we equip rising wealth builders to create the financial future they deserve. As we grow, our initiatives are becoming more complex-spanning events, campaigns, new programs, cross-team launches, and multi-department efforts that require strategic coordination. We are seeking a highly organized, proactive, and systems-minded Project Manager who can both zoom out to architect a project from end-to-end, and zoom in to ensure every moving piece is executed with excellence. This is a brand-new role-you won't be stepping into an existing system. You'll help build the project management infrastructure that supports a fast-growing organization with multiple internal and external stakeholders, bringing clarity, structure, and momentum to company-wide initiatives. This is a remote, full-time employee role, open to US residents, with a preference for applicants located in Eastern or Central Time Zones. Candidates must be able to work during the hours of 9AM-6PM ET, Mon-Fri, and be available to travel 3-4 times per year.

Requirements

Minimum of 3 years of proven project management experience
Demonstrated success coordinating cross-functional teams (sales, operations, marketing, product, events, etc.)
Experience working with external vendors, agencies, or partner teams
Proven experience creating project plans, timelines, and workflows from scratch
Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects with both creative and operational components
You excel at planning and managing complex initiatives-you're comfortable overseeing multi-phase projects with multiple internal and external stakeholders, and you know how to keep everything moving cohesively.
You have a strong command of timelines and dependencies-you anticipate handoffs, surface risks early, and keep teams aligned and accountable to deliver on commitments.
You are an excellent communicator and facilitator-you can lead meetings, drive clarity and decisions, and coordinate effectively across departments, vendors, and partners.
You can take big-picture goals and turn them into action-you translate leadership expectations, project goals, and campaign plans into clear tasks, workflows, and deliverables.
You are systems-oriented in your execution-you enjoy building structured approaches for tracking progress, measuring success, and keeping projects organized from start to finish.
You are highly organized and documentation-driven-you create and maintain timelines, workflows, SOPs, reports, and project trackers that teams can actually use and rely on.
You are resourceful and proactive-you spot issues before they escalate, troubleshoot breakdowns thoughtfully, and propose practical, effective solutions.
You bring strong operational thinking and problem-solving skills-you're able to assess challenges holistically and take smart, decisive action.
You are comfortable working in evolving environments-you don't need everything to be perfect or fully built to get started, and you enjoy helping shape and improve processes over time.
You can juggle multiple priorities without sacrificing quality-you manage several projects at once while maintaining attention to detail and high standards.
You are confident using modern project management tools-you're proficient in platforms like ClickUp, Asana, Monday, Notion, or similar, and you know how to use them to drive visibility and accountability.
You are highly proficient in Google Workspace-you use Docs, Sheets, and Slides to communicate clearly, track progress, and support cross-functional collaboration.
You thrive in fast-paced environments-you stay focused, adaptable, and solution-oriented when priorities shift.
You take ownership of outcomes-you care deeply about the quality of your work, follow through on details, and see projects through to successful completion.
