Project Coordinator Placement Student

Who we are

Most engagements run three to nine months, with a small team on site part of the week. From Durham, our consultants travel to client sites across North Carolina and beyond.

The internship

Our Operations team spans four time zones. The intern helps coordinate handoffs and keeps status updates clear. Our headquarters is in Durham, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Durham team on daily calls and get a named mentor. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

• Collect requirements and feedback from stakeholders and summarise them.
• Create simple onboarding checklists for new project members.
• Prepare weekly status reports with progress, risks and next steps.
• Maintain a risk and issue log and flag blockers to the project manager.
• Track project budgets and hours in a shared spreadsheet.
• Update project boards in Jira, Asana or monday so task status is always current.
• Help run sprint ceremonies such as planning, review and retrospective.
