About This Volunteer Role

We are seeking a Volunteer Project Manager for our Human Resources team to help keep projects organized, timelines visible, and communication flowing without the pressure or expectations of a paid corporate role.

This role is intentionally scoped for sustainability , making it ideal for:

• Career switchers building PM experience

• HR professionals looking to add project management skills

• Experienced professionals volunteering a few hours per week

• Retired or semi-retired professionals who enjoy mentoring and structure

Time commitment: ~3–5 hours per week
Expected term: 3–9 months (flexible and extendable)

What You’ll Do (Realistic & Shared Ownership)

You will support , not single-handedly own, HR projects. Responsibilities include:

• Facilitate one weekly check-in for the HR team (agenda provided)

• Help track a small number of active HR projects and priorities

• Learn our onboarding workflows and help document or improve them

• Support communication between HR and partner teams (Recruiting, Internships, Marketing)

• Gently follow up with volunteers on timelines and blockers
