Project Manager

Role Overview

This is a fully remote position aligned to EST working hours. It is a part-time engagement of about 20 hours per week, typically on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

The role supports a consultancy delivering a 13-month leadership development program for a client focused on building world-class leadership capability. The program spans three connected streams: Leadership Foundations, Leadership Competency Development with five competencies delivered in 8-week cycles, and Leadership Integration & Growth. The structure is already defined, and the priority now is smooth execution.

The Project Manager will partner closely with the Client Advisor, who owns senior-level relationship management and keeps all workstreams connected. In this position, you will provide operational support by building project structure, tracking progress, and ensuring that deliverables, timelines, and dependencies stay under control.

Team Environment

You will work as part of a small, collaborative team that includes the Client Advisor, the Instructional Design Partner, and a Freelance Graphic Design Partner. The Client Advisor serves as the central link across partners, while you act as the operational driver that keeps the work moving, organized, and visible.

Key Responsibilities

You will oversee the full project plan, maintain visibility across all workstreams, support client communications, manage shared assets, and help the Client Advisor stay focused on strategy and stakeholder management.

Project Planning and Timeline Management

• Create and maintain the full 13-month project schedule in Asana or another project management platform, covering both development and delivery stages.
• Track dependencies across content creation, design reviews, graphic production, facilitation preparation, and client milestones so overlapping tasks remain clear.
• Keep a shared project space current so partners and client stakeholders can quickly review status, upcoming deadlines, and ownership.
• Identify risks, delays, and shifting dependencies early so the Client Advisor can respond before issues escalate.

Support for the Client Advisor

• Act as the Client Advisor’s operational support, managing coordination, follow-through, and progress tracking.
• Prepare background materials for partner meetings, internal discussions, and client-facing sessions.
• Monitor progress with the instructional design and graphic design partners and provide timely, accurate updates.
• Chase open actions, pending deliverables, and review cycles to keep work moving at the right pace.

Reporting and Communication

• Turn the project plan into professional PowerPoint updates that help stakeholders understand progress at a glance.
• Draft milestone summaries, status reports, and decision-ready briefing materials for the Client Advisor.
• Maintain a steady, polished communication cadence so the client stays informed and confident throughout the engagement.

Asset and Document Management

• Set up and maintain a shared workspace such as SharePoint, Google Drive, or a similar system as the central repository for all program files.
• Organize and version-control materials including facilitator guides, participant workbooks, practice exercises, graphics, application tools, and client deliverables.
• Ensure a seamless handoff between build and delivery phases, with files correctly stored, current, and accessible to the right people.

Experience and Skills Required

• 3 to 5 years of project management experience in consulting, professional services, or learning and development.
• Experience working closely with a senior lead or account manager and supporting their effectiveness.
• Practical ability with tools such as Asana, Monday.com, Smartsheet, or similar project systems.
• Strong PowerPoint capability with the ability to present complex plans in a clear, executive-friendly format.
• Experience managing shared file systems in distributed team environments using SharePoint, Google Drive, Notion, or similar tools.
• A proactive communication approach that surfaces issues early and keeps stakeholders aligned without prompting.
• Comfort working in a setting where design and execution happen at the same time.

Preferred Experience

• PMP, CAPM, or an equivalent project management certification.
• Prior exposure to leadership development, executive education, or organizational talent programs.
