## About this task

This boutique law firm advising life-science companies (51–200 employees) is looking for a senior Project Manager for an ongoing part-time engagement of 3–6 h a week. A short status report with risks and decisions.

The team is stretched and wants steady, predictable help instead of another full-time hire. It is a law firm; confidentiality is absolute and every file is handled under supervision.

The team sits in Jonesboro. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. The work runs in two set slots a week, agreed with the team at the start.

## What you deliver

- Send a one-page weekly status for a six-month programme with RAG ratings and decisions needed.

- Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day

- A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends

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

## What a week looks like

- Monday: pick up the queue and confirm priorities

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

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

**Duration:** 16 weeks, renewable. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.

## Tools

Jira Asana PowerPoint

## Who fits

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

- Comfortable working in Jira, Asana and PowerPoint

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

### Nice to have

- A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late

- Experience in a similar industry

## Not included

- Travel or work at a fixed location

- Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so

- 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 USD 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.

## What happens after you say you're interested

1. **Within one working day** A recruiter writes to you to confirm your hours and the rate you want.

1. **You agree the rate** You and the recruiter fix an exact rate inside the company's range. You decide whether to go ahead.
