About Your Role 

As an Investment Project Coordinator, you will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the team’s daily publication process and ensuring the team is hitting its strategic goals. To do this well, you will partner with the team’s Project Manager as the ‘air traffic controller’ of the team. You will be responsible for a variety of administrative, operational and project management activities.

• Enable the goals of the daily publication/ team by translating the strategic goals into an organized cadence for the team, including administrative and calendar support.  
• Facilitate synchronization and communication across the teams by tracking and reporting on status of key activities and keeping dashboards up to date. 
• Track team metrics and synthesize the key points to the team and other relevant stakeholders.
• Partner with the team Project Manager on Strategic Projects to improve departmental operations.
• Partner with the PM as the Bridgewater interface with external consultants and production support.  

You will be a click for the role if you:
