About You:
- 3+ years of experience in project management
- 1-2 years of experience in the energy sector (regulatory or commercial)
- Excellent organizational and project management skills, with experience managing databases and executing on multiple projects simultaneously
- Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage complex strategic and operational initiatives
- Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build and maintain relationships with external partners
- Ability to work across global time zones and drive teams to work toward priority objectives
- Ability to self-start and self-direct work in an unstructured environment
About This Role:
You’ll be supporting Google’s Energy & Power team, to deliver reliable, scalable energy solutions for Google’s global operations. In this role, you’ll be the link between internal projects and financial operations, guiding work from initial planning through to final invoicing. You’ll keep our financial and business workflows humming along. That means bringing structure to fast-moving requests, and adapting easily when priorities shift, making sure the end result is accurate, compliant, and on time where no one’s left wondering “Wait, what’s the status of this budget?”
If you love connecting dots between strategy, spend, and operational excellence, and are the type to get a small thrill from a perfectly balanced tracker or a streamlined process — you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Serve as the primary lead for financial operations and business process workflows.
- Manage and streamline the end-to-end purchase order (PO) lifecycle and invoicing schedules.
- Maintain meticulous trackers, ensuring real-time visibility into project spend versus forecasts.
- Identify and implement process improvements to drive operational efficiency and financial compliance.
- Schedule meetings and presentations with partners and ensure all logistics are covered. Prepare and distribute clear agendas and capture key takeaways from meetings. Support projects from kickoff to completion, keeping timeline on track.
Your Compensation:
People – that's you! – are the heart of our business, and we believe in pay transparency.
Our budget for this role is $115K-$130K, depending on experience.

A few more things you should know about Codeword
- The Codeword dream: Make good money doing work you care about with people you like.
- We love our clients (they write the checks!), which means maintaining a high bar for the creativity, smarts, responsiveness, and communication skills we offer them.
- We’re around 100 people, big enough to handle large-scale marketing programs, small enough that you’ll have an impact on our culture.
- We’re a friendly team, we look after each other, and we grow our careers together.
- We respect everyone’s personal life. After-hours emails are strongly frowned upon, night and weekend work is very rare, and employees are encouraged to pursue their side-hustles.
- We’re all grownups here, and we trust each other to get the work done, whether at home or in an office or a time zone on the other side of the world.
- We believe in defaulting to openness. Our calendars, our salary tiers, and our doors are open for all to see. (Except for secret client stuff, which we guard with our lives.)
- We’re a proud member of the global WE Communications family.
- Equal Opportunity: Codeword provides equal employment opportunity and doesn’t discriminate against employees or applicants because of age, race, color, religion, gender, national origin, veteran status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, or other legally protected class status.
- Diversity and Inclusion: Codeword works hard to foster a diverse team and an inclusive workplace where everyone thrives.
We aren’t a traditional agency, so we like to hire people who don’t necessarily fit the agency mold or check all the “right” boxes. If you’re on the fence about applying, please do!
