Project Support Officer

We manage several hundred million in annual media spend for national brands. Timesheets are due daily, broken out by client and task.

The role

We are adding headcount to this team, so this is a new seat. The Project Support Officer runs cross-functional projects from kickoff to close, usually three or four at a time, with budgets between $250K and $2M. We use Smartsheet for schedules and Jira for the technical work. MS Project experience is fine too. The company is based in Austin, the US. We are a distributed team spread across a few time zones. We hire in Egypt through an employer of record, so this is a regular full-time job with local payroll and statutory benefits. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Central time. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

• Track risks, issues and decisions in an RAID log.
