• Maintain task boards using a Project management tool such as Trello, keeping assignments, due dates, status labels, and supporting links current.
• Prepare meeting agendas from open tasks and outstanding decisions, gather updates from contributors, and share materials before scheduled project discussions.
• Capture meeting decisions, assigned actions, and agreed dates, then circulate concise notes so participants understand their responsibilities and immediate next steps.
• Check task progress with owners, compare updates against the agreed plan, and follow up when expected information or completion confirmations are missing.
• Identify conflicting dates, blocked tasks, or unclear ownership and escalate these issues to the project manager with relevant context and available options.
• Prepare routine status summaries covering completed work, upcoming milestones, outstanding questions, and dependencies that need attention from the wider project team.
• Confirm finished tasks with their owners, organize handoff notes for receiving teams, and update project boards after the project manager approves closure.

Qualifications:
