Project Coordinator (Entry Level, Remote)

Project Coordinator job overview

Cornerstone Support Services is presenting an entry-level remote Project Coordinator opportunity for organized communicators who want to build a career in project management, operations, or a project management office (PMO). In this role, you help a project manager and cross-functional contributors stay aligned: schedules are current, tasks have owners, meeting decisions are recorded, and risks are raised before they become bigger delays.

This is project-focused coordination rather than executive support, recruiting administration, or general office administration. You will help track work across teams and deliverables instead of supporting only one leader or one hiring workflow. No prior project coordination or PM experience, college degree, or certification is required to start. Paid training covers the tools, workflows, and coordination basics used on the assignment.

What you will coordinate

• Support projects from kickoff through delivery, quality checks, and closeout.
• Maintain schedules, task lists, milestones, deadlines, owners, and deliverables.
• Prepare agendas, take clear meeting notes, record decisions, and follow up on action items.
• Coordinate routine updates between internal teams, clients, and vendors.
• Keep project boards current in tools such as Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, Trello, or Jira.
• Prepare concise status reports, progress summaries, and dashboards for project leads.
• Escalate blockers, timeline risks, dependencies, and scope changes to the project manager.
• Assist with resource scheduling and allocation, client onboarding, check-ins, and project announcements.
• Organize project files and documentation so that decisions and deliverables are easy to find.
• Support quality assurance checklists and closeout tasks; track budgets or expenses when requested.

A typical project workflow

Work varies by team and project, but coordinators often help keep a repeatable process moving:

For example, if a milestone is at risk, you would check the task board and latest updates, confirm the blocker with the task owner, record the impact on the schedule, and alert the project manager. You would not independently change project scope or promise a new deadline unless authorized.

Required qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• No previous project coordination or project management experience required; paid training provided.
• Strong organization, prioritization, and multitasking skills.
• Strong written English for notes, updates, status reports, and stakeholder communication.
• Comfort with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and willingness to learn project management tools.
• Attention to detail when maintaining schedules, documents, task owners, and reports.
• Ability to follow workflows, meet agreed deadlines, and communicate delays promptly.
• Reliable and responsive during agreed business hours, with the ability to work independently.
• Reliable internet connection and a quiet remote workspace.

Preferred, but not required

• Previous experience in administration, operations, project support, or coordination.
• Familiarity with Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, Trello, or Jira.
• Basic knowledge of Agile, Scrum, or waterfall project methods.
• CAPM or PMP certification; neither certification is required for this entry-level role.
• Experience with Slack or Microsoft Teams.
• Spanish/English bilingual communication skills.
• Interest in project management, operations, or PMO career paths.

Schedule and remote work environment

Day-to-day work typically uses a computer, reliable internet, email and calendar tools, shared documents, video meetings, and a project board. Equipment provisions vary by assignment, so confirm whether any specific hardware or software is supplied before accepting an offer.

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply without project management experience?

Yes. No previous project coordination or PM experience is required. Paid training is provided, and the role is intended for entry-level candidates who are organized, communicate clearly, and are willing to learn.

Do I need a degree, PMP, or CAPM certification?

No degree or certification is required. A high school diploma or equivalent is required. PMP or CAPM credentials may be helpful, but they are optional for this entry-level position.

What project management tools will I use?

Depending on the assignment, you may work in Asana, Monday.com, ClickUp, Trello, or Jira, along with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365. Familiarity is useful, but paid training covers the tools and workflows used by the team.

What is the difference between a project coordinator and a project manager?

A coordinator helps keep the project plan, schedules, action items, documentation, and communications up to date. A project manager generally has broader accountability for scope, decisions, delivery, and overall project outcomes. The coordinator flags risks and supports the project manager rather than independently making every project decision.

What is the schedule and contract length?

Full-time roles typically run about 40 hours per week during standard business hours. Contract assignments are often project-based and may last around 3–12 months. Some teams require partial time-zone overlap or occasional evening/weekend coverage; confirm the exact requirements during the interview.

How much does the role pay?

The stated range is $19–$28 per hour based on experience and project scope. Entry-level candidates typically start near the lower end. Some roles may offer bonuses linked to project delivery or client satisfaction.

What career paths can this experience support?

With experience and further development, project coordination can support progression toward Project Manager, Program Manager, Operations Manager, or PMO Analyst roles. Advancement depends on performance, experience, and available opportunities.

Is the position fully remote and who can apply?

The work arrangement is 100% remote. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. Some assignments may require partial overlap with another time zone.

Does it cost anything to apply?

No. Applying through JobSphereHR is free.
