Recovery Training Institute - Project Coordinator

Project Coordinator

Recovery Training Institute

Recovery Training Institute (RTI) develops innovative online and in-person education focused on recovery, mental health, workplace culture, leadership, professional development, and recovery-informed practice.

RTI works with organizations, governments, communities, subject matter experts, and industry leaders to create practical, engaging learning experiences that support healthier people, workplaces, and systems.

As RTI continues to grow its national training portfolio, digital learning library, partnerships, and organizational projects, we are seeking an exceptionally organized, technology-savvy, and highly capable Project Coordinator to help keep the many moving pieces connected.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys bringing order to complexity, and genuinely likes building systems that make work easier. You are equally comfortable managing a project tracker, troubleshooting a learning platform, preparing a report, organizing hundreds of pieces of information, or jumping into Photoshop to make a quick update to a digital asset.

If you love spreadsheets, dashboards, project management, automation, digital tools, and turning chaos into clarity, this position may be a perfect fit.

If you also have strong opinions about whether pineapple belongs on pizza or can survive the occasional tortilla challenge, you will probably fit in well with our team. We work hard, move quickly, and value people who can collaborate, problem-solve, and have some fun along the way.

The Project Coordinator will work closely with RTI leadership and team members to support project management, learning systems, reporting, digital content, operational processes, and the continued development and expansion of RTI.

Why This Role Matters

RTI is growing quickly, with multiple training programs, filming projects, partnerships, digital learning initiatives, and organizational projects happening simultaneously. This position helps make that growth possible.

The successful candidate will help turn ideas into organized projects, projects into functioning systems, and information into tools that leadership and the broader team can actually use.

You will play an important role in creating the operational infrastructure that allows RTI to scale while maintaining quality, consistency, and organization.
