Junior Project Management Coordinator Full Time NEW

About Blue Oak Consulting
Many business challenges arrive at the executive level wrapped in language that hides the real choices being made. Leadership teams often rely on narratives that sound good in a meeting but fall apart when you look at the actual economics of the business. They struggle with pricing structures that do not match their costs or capital that is trapped in unproductive areas. This is the problem Blue Oak Consulting solves. We peel back the layers of corporate talk to look at the numbers and the commercial logic that actually drives an outcome. We are a team that is skeptical by nature, preferring a disciplined approach that finds the truth rather than following the latest momentum or industry trends.
Our firm operates entirely as a remote team. We value clear thinking and plain speaking over the buzzwords commonly found in the consulting industry. We don’t believe in delivering a presentation and walking away. Instead, we help our clients understand the risks involved in their decisions and make sure their strategies hold up even when their best case scenarios fail. Because our work involves deep analysis and high stakes, our projects require precise coordination and total accuracy. We are looking for a Junior Project Management Coordinator to join us in this effort.

The Role
The Junior Project Management Coordinator at Blue Oak is responsible for the logistics that allow our consultants to stay focused on solving commercial puzzles. In this position, you will manage the mechanics of our projects from start to finish. You will maintain our internal tracking systems to verify that every task is properly assigned and that our project timelines remain accurate. This is an administrative role that requires a logical mindset because you need to understand how the different parts of an advisory project fit together.
Your day will involve more than simple administrative tasks. You will be responsible for coordinating the flow of information between team members and making sure that our documentation is consistent across every workstream. You will look at our project schedules daily to identify where things might be slipping before a delay actually happens. This project support is essential for a remote firm like ours, as it ensures that everyone is working from the same set of facts and deadlines. This role is an entry level opportunity to see how high level business strategy is actually executed behind the scenes.

What We Need From You

• A high level of attention to detail and the ability to spot errors in data or schedules that others might miss.
• Effective writing skills with a focus on being direct and brief rather than decorative.
• Comfort using spreadsheets to organize information, track progress, and produce simple reports.
• The ability to follow through on small tasks and see them to completion without needing constant reminders.
• A logical approach to problem solving and the willingness to ask questions if a process does not seem to make sense.
• Experience managing your own time and priorities while working in an environment without a physical office.

Who Tends To Do Well Here
Our environment is a good fit for people who appreciate quiet focus and clear logic. You will find success at Blue Oak if you are the type of person who values a direct answer over a long, vague meeting. We do not care about performative busyness or who is the loudest person in the room. We value the person who can look at a project plan and identify a potential conflict two weeks before it happens. Because we are a remote firm, you need to be professional and reliable on your own. People who thrive here are those who are skeptical of hype and who want to understand why a project is being done, rather than just how to finish it. We look for individuals who take pride in the accuracy of their work and who understand that the small details are what keep a large project from failing.

What You Get

• The ability to work from anywhere you choose on a permanent basis.
• Exposure to complex commercial problems and a deeper understanding of business economics.
• A work culture that focuses on actual results and rejects office politics and jargon.
• Direct learning opportunities from consultants who value clear feedback and mentorship.
• Standard tools and remote support to help you perform your role effectively.
• A stable, full-time position in a firm that values long-term thinking over short-term trends.
