Looking for a project coordinator job and I’ve been noticing a lot of posts for the role list the responsibilities of a project manager. Anyone else notice this? I’m wondering if the employers are just trying to pay someone coordinator money for PM responsibilities or something else?

Sometimes the difference between a Project Coordinator and a Project Manager is less about the specific responsibilities and more about the scale of those responsibilities. I've had Coordinators managing projects but they're always smaller in scope, team size, and risk/visibility than what I would have a PM manage and with more oversight than I would give a PM - basically mini projects that give them a chance to start owning things from a PM perspective without completely pushing them in the deep end. That doesn't mean there aren't companies out there trying to pay Project Coordinator salaries for PM-level roles (I've definitely seen that too), but without understanding the scale/scope of the actual projects, sometimes the responsibilities can look very similar.

I can see how that looks, thanks for your perspective.

Thank you for talking about this. I’ve noticed that as well. At first, I thought I was misunderstanding the responsibilities. However, now I realize that companies tend to pack responsibilities in a single role and pay the candidate as low as possible.

Right, glad I’m not alone here! I’ve seen a number of posts on indeed (usually that have stayed up a long period of time) paying a modest project coordinator salary and the first listed responsibility is “manage various projects”.
