Yes, though availability varies by employer and industry. About 33% of entry level project management coordinator openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, making this a strong field for candidates who need flexibility. Many remote coordinator roles still require occasional in-person collaboration, so checking each posting's location requirements before applying is worth doing.
