Job Description

We’re looking for a detail-oriented Project Management Intern to help plan, coordinate, and deliver projects end-to-end. You’ll support timelines, track risks and dependencies, run stand-ups, and keep stakeholders aligned. This role suits someone who enjoys organising work, communicating clearly, and turning ideas into shipped outcomes.

Work-Type: Hybrid, Expected Hours: 22 hours per week, Duration: 6 Months, Start: January 2026

About the Role

  • Support the project lead with planning: scope, milestones, schedules, and RAID (Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies) logs.

  • Maintain project trackers and dashboards; prepare weekly status reports and executive summaries.

  • Facilitate meetings/ceremonies (kick-offs, stand-ups, reviews, retros); capture actions and drive follow-through.

  • Coordinate cross-functional teams (engineering/design/ops/marketing) to unblock work and meet deadlines.

  • Help with requirements gathering, change requests, and lightweight documentation (briefs, PRDs, RACI).

  • Monitor budgets and resource plans (basic burn-up/down, capacity view) and flag variances early.

  • Support risk management: identify risks, propose mitigations, and track owners to closure.

  • Assist with vendor coordination (SOWs, deliverables, acceptance criteria) where relevant.

  • Contribute to process improvement: templates, checklists, lessons learned.


What you will Learn/Do

  • Practical project delivery from discovery to release.

  • How to run effective meetings and produce concise status updates for stakeholders.

  • Hands-on experience with agile ways of working and lightweight PM artifacts.

  • Real-world prioritisation, dependency management, and risk mitigation.

Requirements

  • Working toward a Bachelor’s/Master’s in Business, Management, Information Systems, Engineering, or related field.

  • Strong organization and time-management; ability to juggle multiple workstreams.

  • Clear written and verbal communication; confident taking notes and summarising decisions.

  • Comfortable with spreadsheets and task tools (e.g., Google Sheets/Excel, Trello/Jira/Asana).

  • Analytical mindset; basic understanding of project lifecycles (waterfall, agile/kanban).

  • Proactive, curious, and dependable; bias for action and follow-through.


Bonus Qualifications

  • Coursework or certifications (e.g., Agile/Scrum, PRINCE2, CAPM, or PM foundations).

  • Experience with Confluence/Notion, basic Gantt or timeline tools, and simple reporting/visualisation.

  • Exposure to software, data, or product development environments.

  • Familiarity with RACI, OKRs, and stakeholder mapping.

  • Basic knowledge of risk/issue management and change control.
