About the Opportunity

We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Project Coordinator for a 6-month contract based in Auckland. This is not a "business as usual" administration role; we need a seasoned professional capable of supporting a diverse and high-pressure portfolio, including complex Business Transformation, Process Optimization, and Enterprise-wide initiatives.

This role offers a hybrid working model, requiring 3 days per week in our Auckland CBD office, providing the perfect balance of collaboration and flexibility.

The Portfolio: Complex, Diverse, and Critical

As a Senior Project Coordinator, you will be the engine room for multiple concurrent workstreams. You will navigate through ambiguity to ensure project hygiene is maintained across:

• Enterprise Transformation: Supporting the shift in how the business operates at scale.

• Process Modernization: Identifying bottlenecks and coordinating the roll-out of streamlined workflows.

• Business-Critical Projects: Managing dependencies across various departments to ensure seamless delivery.

Non-Negotiable Requirements

To be considered for this role, you must demonstrate:

• Proven experience managing a portfolio of multiple enterprise-level projects simultaneously. You must be comfortable switching contexts rapidly between different project types.

• A track record of supporting projects with high technical or organizational complexity, involving numerous stakeholders and tight interdependencies.

• Advanced skills in project financials, RAID logs, resource tracking, and high-level reporting for executive steering committees.

• Preference will be given to candidates with recent experience working within a Tier-1 or Tier-2 Bank. Why is Banking experience critical for this role? The enterprise projects you will support operate within a highly regulated environment. A background in banking ensures you already understand:

1. Strict Compliance & Governance

2. Risk Frameworks

3. Complex Stakeholder Maps:

Key Responsibilities

• Portfolio Coordination: Maintain project schedules, budgets, and resource plans across multiple complex workstreams.

• Reporting: Design and deliver high-quality status reports that provide "clarity at a glance" for Project Leads and Sponsors.

• Financial Control: Manage project accruals, forecasting, and actuals tracking with high precision.

• Meeting Facilitation: Coordinate and document key governance meetings, ensuring actions are tracked and closed out proactively.

• Process Improvement: Support the Project Manager in refining project methodologies to increase delivery velocity.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: 5+ years in a Senior Project Coordinator role within large-scale corporate environments.

• Technical Savvy: Expert-level proficiency in MS Project, Excel, and Jira/Confluence.

• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written skills—you must be able to communicate confidently with senior leadership.

• Resilience: The ability to remain calm and organized in a fast-paced, shifting environment.
