Project Management & Systems Building Audit, improve, and maintain the team’s project management dashboards and processes (e.g., Notion, SOPs, workflows) with discretion over how to structure systems for clarity and accessibility. Proactively monitor project timelines and highlight risks, delays, or dependencies using your own methods for nudging progress and accountability. Develop file organization, task-tracking, and internal communications systems drawing from your consulting expertise and preferred approaches. Translate high-level ideas into actionable project plans, advising BEAM on the formats and tools that best fit its current capacity. Review, improve, and maintain the team’s Notion dashboards, standard operating procedures, and project tracking systems to ensure visibility of deadlines and priorities. Support project timelines and documentation by nudging the team on next steps, flagging potential delays, and ensuring accountability.
