## About this task

This Food-delivery company for restaurants (201–500 employees) is looking for a senior Project Manager for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Scope, milestones, owners and a plan agreed at kickoff.

The company has a deadline, no one free to own it, and wants a person who has done the same job before. It produces and sells food and drink, with seasonal peaks and strict labelling rules.

The team sits in High Wycombe. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (UK time).

## What you deliver

- Create the plan, RACI and risk list for a CRM rollout and run the kickoff meeting.

- A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

- A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope

- The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed

## How the work runs

- Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files

- Days 2 to 6: the work, with questions answered the same day

- Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

**Duration:** 1 to 2 weeks. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price.

## Tools

Asana MS Project Smartsheet

## Who fits

- 5-10 years of hands-on work as a Project Manager, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in Asana, MS Project and Smartsheet

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- Used to short written handovers

- Experience in a similar industry

## Not included

- Travel or work at a fixed location

- On-call availability outside the agreed window

- Managing other contractors or employees

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in GBP after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.
