Project Coordinator
0–3 years
What this role is
You run the operational nervous system of a Cortado engagement, end to end, with AI as your primary tool. Every engagement we deliver has a spine of logistics, notes, artifacts, and follow-through that used to eat half of an engagement manager's week. You take that week back. You automate the predictable parts, you orchestrate AI to handle the rest, and you make the partner-level work more leveraged than it has ever been.
You will see every engagement we run, from the inside, from kickoff to close. You will be in the room when partners are making real calls for real clients. Early.
What you will actually do
- Stand up and run engagements: kickoffs, cadences, working sessions, client check-ins, close-outs.
- Sit in every meeting, capture it with AI, and ship clean, structured outputs before anyone asks.
- Turn the repeating parts of our delivery process into AI-driven workflows so they stop being manual work.
- Own Box, trackers, and status artifacts so our senior team never has to reach for them.
- Work with our offshore partners and subject matter experts as an operator, not a middleman.
Who we are looking for
- You are comfortable being uncomfortable. You want to be in over your head because that is where you learn fastest.
- You are already using AI daily. Claude, ChatGPT, whatever you prefer. You are past the "play with it on weekends" phase.
- You notice when something is done twice and you build a way to stop doing it.
- You are organized and reliable in a way that does not require anyone reminding you.
- You are not asking for hand-holding. You want the coaching, not the crutch.
- Zero to three years of experience. Recent grads welcome. Evidence beats credentials.
What you will learn
How a modern consultancy actually runs. How senior operators make judgment calls in front of C-suite clients. How to turn a process into a product. How to point AI at real work and trust the output. Our alumni who started in roles like this are now running teams of their own. The pattern is real, and the reason it works is that you are not watching from the back of the room. You are in it.
