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 moves goods for customers, so the data is operational and updated daily. The work is fully remote. Any location in United States works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. ## What you deliver - Create the plan, RACI and risk list for a CRM rollout and run the kickoff meeting. - The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed - One round of edits after the company's review is included - A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer ## 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:** about 10 working days. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail. ## 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 - Experience in a similar industry - A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late ## Not included - Travel or work at a fixed location - On-call availability outside the agreed window - Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so ## 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 USD after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable.
