The Project Coordinator position is a role that has been created to provide crucial resource to the Project Management Team, supporting different aspects of our executive search processes.
The role requires a flexible and energetic multi-tasker who is keen to support a fast- paced, busy team and to learn and develop project management skills and experience. Excellent attention to detail, time management and prioritisation skills, initiative and a strong customer service ethos, as well as a strong appreciation of the importance of punctuality, responsibility, discretion and integrity, are all key attributes needed to carry out this role successfully.
Your focus will primarily be on internal delivery, with some contact with clients and candidates where appropriate, with a view of developing over time the skills required to be a successful Project Manager.
This role requires willingness to help and ability to anticipate support where it is required by the Project Management Team, as well as some wider support in the firm including front of house and other ad hoc duties.
Although not solely responsible for a project portfolio, you will be involved in a range of tasks across a variety of high-level executive searches, supporting the project management teams across a number of practice groups (Social Impact & Environment; Research, Technology & Innovation; Schools; Global Higher Education; Boards; and Arts, Culture & Sports) as you develop your skills and capabilities as a Project Manager.
