## About this task

This performance marketing agency for travel brands (5,000+ employees) is looking for a manager Project Manager for an ongoing part-time engagement of 4–8 h a week. Keeps an outside team on scope and schedule.

The person who did this left, and the company would rather bring in an experienced part-timer than rush a permanent hire. It is an agency, so work is organised around client campaigns and approval rounds.

The team sits in Irvine. 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 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (PT).

## What you deliver

- Manage an agency building a website, run weekly reviews and track change requests.

- A written update every Wednesday with what was done, what is next and anything blocked

- A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends

- Work logged against the agreed list, so the company contact can see progress without a call

## What a week looks like

- Monday: pick up the queue and confirm priorities

- Midweek: two short working sessions of one to two hours

- Wednesday: update sent before the company's end of day

**Duration:** 8 weeks, renewable. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.
