[Remote] Project Manager

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Creative Circle is seeking a part-time Project Manager to join their consulting team for the remainder of 2026, with potential for extension. The Project Manager will collaborate with various team members to manage instructional design projects, ensuring timelines and deliverables are met while maintaining clear communication with client stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain the end-to-end project plan in Asana (or your preferred PM tool) covering both build and delivery phases
• Map interdependencies across all workstreams (content design, design reviews, graphic production, facilitation prep, and client milestones) so overlapping timelines stay visible and manageable
• Maintain a shared project environment where partners, and client stakeholders can see live status, upcoming milestones, and ownership at a glance
• Proactively flag risks, bottlenecks, and shifting dependencies so client advisors can act before issues become problems
• Serve as the operational right hand to client advisors, handling the tracking, coordination, and follow-through that keeps their focus on strategy and client relationships
• Prepare materials the client advisor needs for partner check-ins, internal reviews, and client-facing meetings
• Monitor workstream progress across the Instructional Design and Graphic Design partners and keep the client advisor informed with clear, accurate status at all times
• Follow up on open items, pending deliverables, and review cycles so nothing waits longer than it should
• Translate the detailed project plan into polished PowerPoint updates that give client stakeholders clear, accessible visibility into program progress
• Prepare milestone summaries, status reports, and decision-ready briefings in support of the client advisor's client-facing work
• Maintain a consistent, professional communication rhythm that keeps the client informed and confident throughout the engagement
• Build and maintain a shared workspace (SharePoint, Google Drive, or similar) as the single source of truth for all program materials across the full team
• Organize and version-control all assets: facilitator guides, participant workbooks, practice exercises, graphic files, application tools, and client deliverables
• Ensure clean transitions between build and delivery phases, with every material in the right place, versioned correctly, and accessible to the right people

Skills

• 5+ years of project management experience in consulting, professional services, or learning & development
• Experience working closely with a senior lead or account manager; you know how to give someone leverage, not just report to them
• Hands-on proficiency with Asana, Monday.com, Smartsheet, or a comparable PM tool; you build project systems, not just task lists
• Strong PowerPoint skills, with the ability to translate a complex project plan into a clean, story-driven update for a senior client audience
• Experience managing shared file systems across distributed teams (SharePoint, Google Drive, Notion, or similar)
• A proactive, no-surprises communication style; you surface issues early and keep everyone aligned without being asked
• Comfortable in a build-and-deliver environment where design and execution run simultaneously
• PMP, CAPM, or equivalent certification
• Prior experience supporting leadership development, executive education, or organizational talent programs
• Familiarity with instructional design or curriculum development workflows
