What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a fully remote program, project or community coordination role at a mission-driven or remote-first organisation. I thrive with ownership, clear goals and distributed teams, and enjoy engaging partners, improving processes and turning complex data into clear reports. My economics and policy background adds an analytical edge. Open to Europe or Americas time zones.

Project Coordinator with experience managing complex infrastructure projects, coordinating field teams and contractors, monitoring KPIs, and improving operational processes. I bring a background in economics, public policy, and international relations, with strong skills in stakeholder management, data analysis, reporting, and project administration. Fluent in English and Spanish, with experience working across multicultural and international environments. I’m seeking a fully remote role where I can contribute to project delivery, operations, business processes, or program coordination.
