STA Part-time - Innovation Catalyst Fund Launch Project Manager - US, UK, or NL Remote

Prosper Global is a humanitarian organization working alongside communities facing conflict, climate change, and economic hardship to create conditions for lasting progress. The Project Manager will coordinate the cross-functional launch of the Resilient Future Fund, maintaining the critical path, managing dependencies, tracking decisions and risks, and driving delivery through fund activation. This part-time assignment requires coordinating internal teams and external advisers without formal authority and is expected to last approximately three months.

Responsibilities:

• Maintain a single, current view of the fund launch plan across all workstreams, including the dependencies between them
• Work backwards from fund activation to establish what must happen, in what order, for the fund to accept a subscription and call capital — and keep that sequence visible to the working group
• Identify the decisions and inputs that sit on the critical path, and make clear who owes what to whom and by when
• Maintains a clear decision log, holds owners accountable to deadlines and deliverables
• Coordinates external advisors and billing
• Surface slippage and emerging risks early, with options rather than only problems
• Act as the connective point between legal, finance, the controller's office, treasury, people, IT, communications and the investment team
• Convene and follow up on working sessions; capture decisions, owners and deadlines, and drive communications and delivery of necessary inputs by colleagues to ensure timelines are met
• Coordinate the inputs required by external advisers, including fund counsel, tax advisers and the fund administrator; liaise with responsible department leads and either directly or support functions to ensure requests are answered completely, on time and with internal follow up as needed
• Escalate to the Chief Investment and Innovation Officer, as sponsor where a decision is stuck or a dependency is at risk
• Assemble and map existing material against the documents being drafted, so that specialists receive organized inputs rather than a search task
• Track outstanding questions to advisers and the answers received, maintaining one authoritative record
• Support preparation and where appropriate draft schedules, trackers and summaries required for the shared services agreement, fund documentation, and board and committee reporting
• Handle confidential legal, financial and investor information with discretion, and declare any actual or potential conflict of interest, in line with Prosper Global Policies
• Convene RFF working group, and produce concise weekly status reporting for the working group, and periodic updates for senior leadership and governance bodies
• Maintain the workplan and supporting trackers as a single source of truth, retiring duplicates and resolving inconsistencies between them
• Record decisions as they are taken, so the rationale is available to colleagues joining later
• Prepare a handover package at the end of the assignment (workplan, decision log, open issues and adviser correspondence) and transition ongoing activities to the fund management company and the relevant departments
• Actively learns about safeguarding and integrates it into their work, including safeguarding risks and mitigations related to their area of work
• Practices the values of Prosper Global including respecting the dignity and well-being of participants and fellow team members
• Encourages openness and communication in their team; encourages team members to submit reports if they have any concerns using reporting mechanisms e.g., Integrity Hotline and other options

Requirements:

• Five or more years of project or programme management experience, including at least one complex cross-functional initiative delivered against a fixed external deadline
• Demonstrated ability to coordinate across finance, legal and operational teams, and to move senior stakeholders without holding formal authority over them
• Strong command of project management practice — critical path and dependency mapping, risk and issue tracking, and disciplined status reporting
• Experience coordinating inputs to external professional advisers such as legal counsel, auditors or consultants
• Excellent written communication: able to turn contested, complicated detail into a short summary a busy executive can act on
• Proficiency with project management and collaboration tools (for example Smartsheet, MS Project Teams and Sharepoint etc.)
• Internationally recognized qualification in project or programme management (for example PMP or PRINCE2) is an advantage
• exposure to investment funds, treasury operations or corporate entity establishment, and familiarity with nonprofit financial and grant management, accounting operations, controls and fund administration experience
