Job Overview 

Project Coordinators work under the direction of a project manager to coordinate the logistics of a specific project on a more granular level. They essentially help ensuring that all team members and departments have what they need in order to meet the deadlines and expectations set by the project manager. In order to do this, they must also be familiar with every aspect of the project, pricing, stakeholders, timeline, and budgeting details. 

The project coordinator's goal is to help enable the project manager to focus on broader issues and any problems that may arise by managing the day-to-day details of a project. Sometimes coordinators may eventually expand their responsibilities to include multiple projects or move into project management roles with more oversight. The project coordinator helps keep all parts of the process organized and running according to the plan.
