  • Track milestones, monitor progress, and remove roadblocks to ensure on-time delivery across multiple concurrent projects.

2. Process Standardization & Documentation
  • Oversee the creation, standardization, and maintenance of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), process maps, and training materials.

  • Work with subject matter experts to document administrative workflows, escalation protocols, and operational handbooks.

  • Establish version-control conventions, documentation review schedules, and governance frameworks for company knowledge bases.

3. Operational & Master Data Governance
  • Coordinate initiatives related to employee data management, attendance tracking, leave/vacation reconciliation, and administrative audits.

  • Ensure data consistency, accuracy, and proper permissions across administrative tools, databases, and spreadsheets.

  • Collaborate with HR, finance, and operations teams to streamline internal record-keeping and data intake workflows.

4. Cross-Functional Coordination & Communication
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for internal stakeholders, team leads, and external vendors on operational projects.

  • Facilitate regular project status meetings, prepare agenda items, capture action items, and ensure accountability across teams.

  • Prepare daily, weekly, and monthly progress reports and executive dashboards for senior management.

Required Qualifications & Technical Skills
  • Experience: 3 to 5+ years of proven project management experience, specifically focused on business operations, administrative systems, HR operations, or process optimization.

  • Project Management Tools: Strong proficiency with modern PM software (Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, Jira, Trello, or similar).

  • Document & Workspace Productivity: Expertise in Google Workspace (Google Docs, Sheets, Forms, Slides) and Microsoft 365.

  • Process Mapping & Documentation: Experience creating clear SOPs, workflow diagrams, and operational guides (using tools like Lucidchart, Miro, or Notion).

  • Data Organization: Solid understanding of data hygiene, reporting, spreadsheet management, and basic database concepts.

  • Soft Skills: Exceptional organizational ability, time management, active listening, and strong written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills
