&lt;h1&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Project Coordinator&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We&#39;re looking for a Project Coordinator to join RetailNext&#39;s PMO team and provide essential support to our Project Managers across strategic and high-volume deployments. This role sits at the center of how we deliver for our most important customers — keeping documentation sharp, milestones on track, and coordination running smoothly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You&#39;re detail-oriented to the point where errors genuinely bother you, and you take ownership of tasks without needing to be chased. You&#39;re a quick learner who&#39;s energized by getting things right, and you communicate honestly when something&#39;s off-track. You&#39;d rather ask the right question early than fix a problem late.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an early-career role with a defined path forward. The first six months are about building administrative excellence supporting Named Account customers; from month seven onward, you take on increased PM support responsibilities across strategic deployments. For someone who&#39;s organized, curious, and wants to grow into project management, this is the right place to start.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Reports to:&lt;/strong&gt; PM Team Leader&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; Remote, South Africa&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What You&#39;ll Do&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Named Account &amp;amp; Strategic Deployment Support&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support Project Managers on Named Account customers and large-scale rollouts, keeping complex deployments on schedule&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Attend project meetings and customer calls, capture detailed notes, and distribute clear summaries to all stakeholders&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maintain project documentation across all RetailNext platforms with consistent accuracy&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Track milestones, deadlines, and deliverables across multiple concurrent deployments&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prepare status reports, dashboards, and project summaries for internal teams and external stakeholders&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quote Processing &amp;amp; Deployment Coordination&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Generate accurate project quotes for large-scale deployments using established pricing models and customer-specific requirements&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Process bulk upload requests for multi-store Named Account rollouts, ensuring data accuracy and completeness&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Coordinate vendor communications, scheduling, and logistics for complex deployments&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hardware, Logistics &amp;amp; System Administration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Process hardware return requests and coordinate RMA activities with the Operations team&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Coordinate shipping schedules, delivery confirmations, and logistics tracking for high-volume projects&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maintain accurate data in SmartOps and keep project tracking systems current&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Coordinate with Implementation Engineers on technical requirements and specifications&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PMO Team Support &amp;amp; Process Improvement&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Flex support across the PMO team as workloads shift — any PM running a high-volume or strategic deployment may call on you&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Identify workflow inefficiencies and bring concrete suggestions for how to fix them&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create documentation and best practice guides based on hands-on coordination experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Support new team member onboarding and training program development&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Meet PMO KPIs and uphold SLAs around documentation accuracy, quote processing timeframes, and internal coordination standards&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What We&#39;re Looking For&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Required&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;High school diploma or equivalent&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;0–1 years of administrative, coordination, or customer service experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strong organizational skills and exceptional attention to detail&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clear, professional written and verbal communication&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ability to learn new tools and systems quickly&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Valued but Not Required&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Familiarity with CRM systems or project management tools (e.g., Salesforce, Asana, Jira)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Experience working with enterprise software or in a SaaS environment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Background in logistics, operations, or a customer-facing coordination role&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What We Offer&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A structured 12-month development path into project management — with clear milestones, real PM support responsibilities, and a defined trajectory for those who want to grow into a full PM role&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Direct exposure to enterprise-scale and Named Account deployments — most coordinator roles sit in the background; this one puts you at the center of RetailNext&#39;s most strategic customer work&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Real influence on how the PMO operates — you&#39;ll surface process gaps, contribute to playbooks, and help shape how the team works, not just execute what&#39;s already been decided&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Monthly Recharge Day&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Holiday Exchange Program&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Best Self Benefit Program&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Medical Insurance&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Work from Anywhere up to 90 days&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
