Senior Project Coordinator

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Senior Projects Coordinator to serve as the operational backbone of our delivery function. In this role, you will govern how work is requested, prioritised, configured in Jira, and reported across our technical teams—ensuring every submission is thoroughly vetted, decisions are data-driven, and leadership has complete visibility over capacity and progress.

Rather than managing the day-to-day execution of projects, you will own the end-to-end operational pipeline that feeds our delivery teams. You will ensure incoming work is properly scoped before entering a backlog, maintaining clarity and predictability across the department.

Requirements

• Experience in a PMO, delivery operations, or senior project coordination role within a multi-team environment.
• Proven, hands-on experience administering Jira, including custom workflows, schemas, permissions, and automation rules.
• Demonstrated success running a structured intake and demand management process from initial request through to a prioritised backlog.
• Strong working knowledge of Agile methodologies and prioritisation frameworks along with the ability to translate Jira and spreadsheet data into clear executive reporting.
• Highly organised with strong written communication skills, and the confidence to follow up on missing information, challenge weak business cases, and decline requests diplomatically with senior stakeholders.

Job Responsibilities

• Manage the central intake process for all project and development requests, assessing submissions for completeness and duplication, challenge unclear briefs, and translate approved requests into structured requests. You will also track non-project demands to maintain full visibility of team capacity.
• Partnering with product leads, you will standardise scoring, identify cross-team capacity conflicts early, maintain a backlog, and communicate decisions—along with clear rationale—to stakeholders.
• You will configure and maintain Jira workflows, custom fields, permissions, and automations that support intake, while enforcing strict data standards, building executive dashboards, and managing user onboarding.
• Coordiante updates from across delivery teams to produce monthly steering group reports, monitor pipeline metrics (turnaround times, backlog age, non-project allocation) and maintain RAID logs and milestone trackers to escalate potential risks early.
