This is a 12-week contract-to-hire role. Additional details are outlined below.

We are seeking a highly organized, high-agency Marketing & Web Project Coordinator to help drive the day-to-day execution of a large, multi-phase web application being rolled out across school districts statewide.

This is a hands-on coordination role.

You will not be managing from a distance. You will be actively involved in moving tasks forward, facilitating communication between developers and clients, QA’ing work before review, and ensuring requests are actually resolved, not just documented.

We’re looking for someone who takes ownership of delivery, learns the details deeply, anticipates issues before they surface, and keeps momentum strong across teams. The right person operates with independence, judgment, and initiative, not just process.

You’ll partner closely with an existing project leader who is actively involved in UX design, development coordination, and high-level client assurance. Your role is to own and advance the daily execution: keep communication tight, maintain clarity, follow up relentlessly, and step in when issues arise.

This role begins as a 12-week contract-to-hire engagement, with the intention to transition into a full-time position (salary + benefits + equipment) if it’s a strong mutual fit. We’re looking for someone who can step in quickly, operate with ownership, and grow into a long-term leadership role on the project.
