How You’ll Add Value:
The Project Operations Coordinator supports the end-to-end execution of customer-site and strategic sample management projects, from opportunity assessment and implementation planning through operational delivery, transition, and closeout. This role connects project management, field operations, data management, quality, training, and commercial stakeholders to ensure work is planned accurately, launched effectively, executed safely, and completed with clear documentation and measurable outcomes. This role serves as a hands-on coordinator and subject-matter resource across multiple concurrent projects without direct people-management responsibility.
What You’ll Do:
Coordinate project lifecycle activities from intake and scoping through planning, startup, execution, transition, and closeout for customer-site services, sample inventory, migration, storage optimization, relocation, and related operational initiatives
Partner with project managers and functional stakeholders to translate customer requirements, statements of work, assumptions, and service definitions into practical implementation plans, task lists, resource needs, milestones, and acceptance criteria
Maintain project trackers, schedules, action logs, risk and issue registers, decision records, change documentation, and status reporting; proactively identify dependencies, resource constraints, and potential schedule or quality impacts
Support project readiness activities, including site assessments, equipment and supply planning, system access, workspace setup, quality-plan inputs, training coordination, staffing logistics, and operational handoff requirements
Coordinate cross-functional execution among Operations, Customer Site Services, Data Management, Quality, Information Technology, Training, Transport, Commercial, and other internal or external partners
Support data collection, reconciliation, validation, and reporting activities associated with sample inventories, relocations, registrations, dispositions, and system migrations while maintaining data integrity and traceability
Assist managers with development and maintenance of project-specific workflows, job aids, training materials, controlled-document inputs, handoff packages, and lessons learned
Promote standardized project methods, reusable templates, and continuous-improvement practices; analyze project outcomes and recommend improvements to planning assumptions, workflows, tools, and resource models
Ensure assigned work is performed in accordance with applicable quality systems, customer requirements, safety procedures, confidentiality expectations, and regulatory or contractual obligations
