    Job Description

    Transformation Project Coordinator
     
    Project Overview
    Vantage Partners is undertaking a firm-wide business transformation over the next 9–12 months focused on simplifying how the firm operates, improving management information and decision-making, and creating a more scalable operating and technology environment.
    Several interconnected workstreams are already underway or planned, including:
    • Redesigning aspects of our commercial management model and CRM environment
    • Selecting and implementing a new Operations / resource management platform
    • Modernizing Finance processes, technology, and operating model
    • Migrating core information and file infrastructure to the cloud
    • Simplifying and better integrating our broader technology ecosystem
    • Redesigning associated processes, roles, governance, and ways of working
    These initiatives involve significant dependencies and a broad set of stakeholders across firm leadership, Operations, Finance, IT, Staffing / Resource Management, and our consulting business. The work is being led internally by Vantage's Director of Business Transformation, and we are looking for a strong Project Coordinator who can provide leverage across the overall transformation.
    The role
    We are looking for someone who is highly organized, execution-oriented, and able to work independently with direction from the Transformation Lead.
    This person would provide project coordination support across several concurrent transformation workstreams - helping maintain plans and timelines, coordinate meetings and activities, keep track of decisions and follow-ups, and make sure work continues to move forward between meetings.
    This is not intended to be a senior transformation or strategy role. The Transformation Lead will own overall direction, strategic analysis, senior stakeholder management, content creation, and major decisions. The Project Coordinator’s role is to create leverage by providing the structure, coordination, and follow-through needed to manage a complex portfolio of work.
    We are looking for someone who is more than an administrator: they should be able to understand the basic substance of the work, recognize when something is unclear or falling behind, and proactively raise questions or issues when momentum or clarity is lacking.
    Primary responsibilities
    The role would likely include:
    • Project planning and tracking: Maintain workplans, timelines, milestones, dependencies, action items, and decision logs across the transformation workstreams.
    • Meeting coordination: Schedule project meetings, help organize agendas based on direction from the Transformation Lead, capture notes/decisions/actions, and manage follow-up.
    • Action management: Track commitments across Vantage stakeholders and external partners, follow up on outstanding items, and flag delays or dependencies.
    • Document organization: Maintain an organized set of current project materials, plans, notes, decisions, and supporting documentation.
    • Vendor coordination: Help schedule and organize vendor demos, implementation discussions, and follow-ups; consolidate questions and track open items.
    • Light materials support: Update project plans, trackers, existing presentations, and working documents based on discussions and direction.
    • Information gathering: Conduct targeted research, collect inputs from stakeholders, and organize information to support analysis and decisions.
    • Progress reporting: Help maintain a concise view of where each workstream stands, what is coming next, and where attention or decisions are needed.
    Profile we have in mind
    We are less concerned with a particular title or background than with finding someone who is organized, proactive, and comfortable supporting a complex set of concurrent projects. A strong candidate might have roughly 2–4 years of experience in consulting, project management, business operations, PMO, or a similar environment.
    They should be:
    • Highly organized and dependable, with strong attention to detail and follow-through
    • Comfortable managing numerous actions, deadlines, and stakeholders simultaneously
    • Able to work independently once priorities and direction are established
    • Strong written communicator and note-taker
    • Comfortable with PowerPoint, Excel, and common project-management tools
    • Able to understand enough of the business context to organize information intelligently rather than simply process tasks
    • Comfortable following up with colleagues at different levels of the organization
    • Proactive about identifying missing information, overdue actions, or potential issues
    • Comfortable working in an environment where priorities and plans will evolve over time
    • Able to leverage AI when fit-for-purpose
    Experience with consulting, professional services, business transformation, or technology implementation would be helpful but is not required. Expected commitment is approximately 15 - 20 hours per week over 9 - 12 months, with some variation depending on the phase of the transformation
     
    Hourly Rate The hourly pay range for this position is $35 to $50. The final compensation offered will be determined based on factors including experience, skills, and qualifications.
