Requirements

Who You Are

As Rewiring America’s Project Management Coordinator, you will know where (almost) every single task is at, who is working on what, if you don’t know, you know who to ask! A successful candidate will love working with multidisciplinary teams, and lots of personalities, and will be great at meet people where they are.

You excel at building the relationships needed to get the work done and out the door, and you also possess the hard skills to effectively communicate a project’s status to key stakeholders. Simplification and foresight are your superpowers! You understand how to translate complex projects and goals into building blocks, and you anticipate dependencies and unknowns that may slow our pace of progress. You are also the type of person who hops in to help get the work done and over the finish line.

You may also really thrive on marking those Asana tasks “complete” at the end of the day.

Core:

• 1-3 years of experience in project management.
• Strong intuition and judgment, ability to anticipate issues before they arise.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

• Project management certifications (ideally agile… we have a strong aversion to waterfall =)).
• Proficiency in Asana and Google Workspace.
• Familiarity with clean energy and climate policy issues.
• A passion for climate action
