  • Review existing procedures against Texas election code and Secretary of State guidance / best practices and help formalize them into standard operating procedures (SOPs).
  • Identify gaps, inefficiencies, or risks in current processes and recommend practical improvements.
  • Research & Documentation

  • Perform research (online, internal resources, reference materials) to gather answers and best practices needed to support process development and decision making.
  • Consolidate information into well-structured documents, presentations, and reference materials using Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
  • Maintain organized documentation repositories (e.g., shared drives, SharePoint, Teams) for procedures, templates, and project artifacts.
  • Election-Cycle Support

  • Support preparation activities for upcoming elections, including process documentation, checklists, and coordination of special projects.
  • Assist with monitoring and tracking tasks during early voting and Election Day, escalating issues to leadership as needed.
  • Work extended hours, including some evenings and weekends, particularly in the ramp-up to elections and on Election Day itself (10–12+ hour shifts may be required).
  • Collaboration & Communication

  • Build strong working relationships with Elections staff, leadership, and technical partners while maintaining professionalism and discretion.
  • Communicate clearly and proactively regarding project status, risks, and constraints.
  • Work largely independently with minimal supervision, staying on task and avoiding unnecessary distractions or excessive socializing during work hours.
  • Required Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in a project lead, project coordinator, project manager, or operations / process-focused role, preferably in a government, public sector, legal, or highly regulated environment.
  • Demonstrated experience documenting, improving, and implementing procedures or workflows (e.g., SOPs, process maps, checklists).
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook); experience using Teams and / or SharePoint for collaboration and document management.
  • Proven ability to work independently, prioritize tasks, and drive work to completion without supervision.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to draft clear documentation and summarize information for leadership.
