About Overwatch Mission Critical
Overwatch is a service-disabled Veteran-owned small business (SDVOB) certified through the National Veterans Business Development Council (NVBDC), offering construction professional services, talent acquisition, and general contractor services for the mission-critical infrastructure industry.

Role Overview:
We're looking for an Enterprise Operations & Special Projects Coordinator to help advance priority initiatives across Enterprise Operations during a period of rapid growth.
This role blends special projects, cross-functional execution, operational coordination, research, and leadership support. Reporting directly to the EVP of Enterprise Operations, you will help turn priorities into action, bring structure to ambiguous assignments, and ensure important work stays organized and moving forward.
No two days will look the same. One day you may be developing an executive presentation or researching a new business opportunity. The next, you may be coordinating stakeholders, resolving a project dependency, preparing an operating review, or following up on a critical commitment.
This is an opportunity for a curious, hands-on early-career professional who enjoys solving problems, anticipates needs, takes pride in the details, and wants to grow into a Project Manager or Program Manager role.
What you'll do:
Special Project & Cross functional Execution
- Support special projects and changing enterprise priorities from research and planning through execution and follow-up.
- Translate loosely defined assignments into practical next steps, owners, timelines, and deliverables.
- Identify risks, dependencies, and potential issues early; proactively raise solutions and recommendations.
- Coordinate stakeholders across functions, gather inputs, and drive follow-through on decisions and commitments.
- Prepare concise project briefs, presentations, status updates, and executive-ready materials.
- Maintain project trackers, action logs, and clear documentation to keep work moving and accountable.
Research & Problem Solving
- Research business questions, vendors, technologies, and operational practices; synthesize findings into useful options and recommendations.
Business Operations & Coordination
- Coordinate leadership operating reviews, working sessions, and cross-functional meetings, including agendas, materials, notes, and follow-up.
- Support reporting, dashboards, operational metrics, and accurate working materials.
- Assist with vendor coordination, procurement follow-up, scheduling, logistics, and administrative details as needed.
- Identify opportunities to improve processes, simplify workflows, and create repeatable tools and practices.
Leadership & Executive Support
- Provide responsive, discreet coordination and execution support to the EVP of Enterprise Operations and priority initiatives.
What We're Looking For:
- 0–3 years of relevant experience (including internships or substantial project work); demonstrated initiative matters more than tenure.
- Exceptional attention to detail, organization, and follow-through; takes pride in accurate, polished work.
- Strong work ethic and bias toward action; willing to roll up sleeves on both high-visibility and behind-the-scenes tasks.
- Proactive and resourceful; anticipates needs, identifies gaps, and raises issues with potential solutions.
- Comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities, and working independently while knowing when to escalate.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to synthesize information clearly.
- Curious, coachable, adaptable, and eager to learn unfamiliar subjects and new tools.
- Able to manage multiple assignments, deadlines, and stakeholders without losing track of details.
- Proficiency with Microsoft 365 and collaboration tools, with the ability to learn new systems quickly.
- Sound judgment, professionalism, and discretion with confidential information.
- Motivated to develop project and program management skills through hands-on enterprise initiatives.
