Project Coordinator

**Overview**
**CRL Synergy**, one of Canada’s largest and fastest-growing suppliers of control label products, we’re looking for a Project Manager to own the end-to-end coordination of product development through launch. This role connects an overseas team with internal Buying, Product Development, and Artwork/Creative teams—plus external clients—so work moves smoothly from concept to production and delivery. You’ll build clear pathways, timelines, and accountability across multiple stakeholders using our project management tools within a custom ERP system.

**Key Responsibilities**
- **Drive development-to-launch execution**: Create and manage workflows that move projects from initial development through approvals, production readiness, and launch.
- **Cross-functional coordination**: Act as the central point of contact between overseas partners and internal Buying, Product Development, and Artwork teams.
- **Client communication & alignment**: Coordinate milestones, deliverables, and approvals with clients; ensure expectations are clear and changes are documented.
- **Project planning & scheduling**: Build project plans, define critical paths, track dependencies, and maintain milestone calendars across multiple concurrent projects.
- **Requirements & handoffs**: Translate inputs (client needs, product specs, artwork requirements) into clear tasks and handoffs between teams.
- **Risk & issue management**: Identify bottlenecks early (capacity, approvals, materials, artwork revisions, vendor constraints), escalate appropriately, and drive resolution.
- **System ownership**: Maintain project records, tasks, and status updates in a project management system embedded in a custom ERP; ensure data accuracy and visibility.
- **Process improvement**: Standardize pathways, templates, and checklists to improve speed, clarity, and on-time launches.

**What Success Looks Like (First 60-90 Days)**
- Active projects have **clear timelines, owners, and next steps** visible in the ERP.
- Cross-team handoffs are consistent, with fewer missed details and fewer late-stage surprises.
- Overseas coordination runs on a predictable cadence (check-ins, deliverable schedules, escalation paths).
- Clients receive proactive updates and approvals are tracked cleanly.

**Required Qualifications**
- 3+ years of project management experience in a cross-functional environment (product development, sourcing, manufacturing, creative/production, or similar).
- Proven ability to coordinate work across time zones and diverse teams.
- Strong organizational skills—able to manage multiple projects, stakeholders, and changing priorities.
- Clear written and verbal communication; confident leading follow-ups and driving accountability.
- Comfort working in structured systems (ERP, PM tools, task/workflow software) and maintaining high-quality project data.

**Preferred Qualifications**
- Experience in product development lifecycle, sourcing/production, or consumer goods manufacturing.
- Familiarity with artwork/creative production workflows (briefing, revisions, approvals, print-ready files).
- Experience building or improving SOPs, templates, and launch pathways.
- Exposure to custom ERP systems or integrated PM modules.

**Core Skills & Competencies**
- Stakeholder management (internal teams, overseas partners, clients)
- Workflow design and process mapping
- Timeline and dependency management
- Detail-oriented follow-through and documentation discipline
- Calm, proactive problem-solving under deadline pressure
