As Special Project Coordinator, you will help shape how work gets done across the US 2 organization—ensuring strategy, execution discipline, and day-to-day behaviors remain aligned to our purpose and values.

We are seeking a highly organized, commercially minded administrator to work closely with executive leadership to drive strategic initiatives, operational excellence, and the practical adoption of AI and tools across the business. This is a hybrid leadership and execution role combining Project Manager partnership, standardized program/project management, and AI and tool enablement.

This role is not a traditional project manager position. It is designed to be a force multiplier for senior leadership—ensuring priorities move forward, cross-functional initiatives execute smoothly, and market expansion efforts are supported with rigor and momentum.

• Serve as Special Projects Coordinator support to senior leadership—translating strategy into executable plans and follow-through.
• Drive clarity on priorities, decision rights, and accountability across leadership initiatives.
• Improve communication flow, reporting cadence, and internal alignment across functions.
• Independently manage special projects, executive initiatives, and transformation programs as assigned.

• Lead cross-functional programs spanning creative, packaging, sales, and operations.
• Establish and maintain standardized project management practices: scope, milestones, risks, dependencies, and escalation paths.
• Remove blockers and coordinate resources to keep initiatives on time and outcomes-focused.
• Identify operational inefficiencies and implement scalable, repeatable solutions.

• Help senior leadership identify and evaluate new market opportunities within targeted segments.
• Support expansion into new markets by shaping entry hypotheses, implementation plans, and cross-functional readiness.
• Surface client/market pain points and barriers to success and drive structured resolution with leadership.
• Capture learnings and create lightweight playbooks to improve repeatability of future market entry efforts.

• Help integrate AI tools into daily workflows (e.g., sales outreach, creative production, client insights, operational automation).
• Coordinate AI pilots, vendors, and internal adoption/training initiatives.
• Build or oversee lightweight AI automations, research agents, and productivity workflows.
• Track ROI and real business impact of AI initiatives across the organization.

• Champion a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement within and across teams.
• Model high ownership, clear communication, and inclusive leadership behaviors consistent with GPA values.
• Demonstrate an appetite for leveraging new tools and technologies…
