The Role
For those who are not afraid of complexity.
Who gain energy from creating clarity where there initially is none.
And who believe that excellence comes from discipline, curiosity, and the ambition to continuously improve.
At atrain, people are at the center of everything we do — both our clients and our teams.
We take the time to truly understand our clients’ realities, challenges, and ambitions, and place them at the core of our work. For us, customer centricity is not a process, it is a mindset.
atrain is a global leadership consultancy. We work with leading organizations to develop leadership capabilities, navigate complexity, and enable organizations to translate strategy into measurable results.
Our work is hands-on, client-focused, and often highly complex — which is why we are looking for a Project Coordinator who can bring structure, reliability, and operational excellence to our projects.
Your Responsibilities
As a Project Coordinator, you will be at the center of our client projects.
This is not a purely administrative coordination role — you will actively support the end-to-end delivery of multiple client projects in parallel, typically managing between two large-scale and several mid-sized projects simultaneously.
You will structure workflows, coordinate stakeholders, and ensure projects are delivered smoothly, efficiently, and with high quality.
Your contribution includes five key dimensions:
1. Ensure Delivery Excellence
Support the planning, coordination, and execution of projects with varying levels of complexity, bringing structure to ambitious and sometimes unclear requirements.
2. Orchestrate Stakeholders
Create alignment and transparency between internal teams, external partners, and clients.
3. Secure Operational Execution
Ensure processes run smoothly, risks are identified early, and all required elements are available at the right time.
4. Maintain Transparency on Progress and Resources
Track project progress, resource allocation, capacities, and key performance indicators.
5. Drive Continuous Improvement
Contribute to the further development of processes and continuously improve the way we work.
