About the role

JG Management Group LLC is looking for an experienced Operations Project Manager to support client delivery within our Operations & Systems practice.

You will help organize, manage, and execute operational improvement projects for small and growing businesses. The role combines project management, process improvement, documentation, implementation, and client coordination.

We are looking for someone who can take an approved project scope and turn it into an organized, professionally managed engagement from onboarding through completion.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Create and maintain project plans, timelines, milestones, and task assignments

Coordinate client onboarding and collect required project information

Manage project progress, deadlines, dependencies, and outstanding client items

Analyze and document existing business processes

Identify workflow gaps, bottlenecks, and operational inefficiencies

Build and improve SOPs, checklists, workflows, process maps, and operating procedures

Coordinate project contributors and specialized contractors when required

Maintain accurate project records and documentation

Monitor deliverables against the approved project scope

Identify and escalate scope changes, risks, delays, or client issues

Support implementation of new operational systems and processes

Conduct quality-control reviews before client handoff

Assist with client training, implementation, and project closeout

Expected Deliverables

Depending on the engagement, your work may include:

Project implementation plans

Process maps

Standard Operating Procedures

Operational workflows

Responsibility and accountability structures

Management checklists

KPI and reporting structures

Client implementation plans

Project status reporting

Operational documentation

Final handoff and closeout materials

Required Skills

We are specifically looking for experience with:

Project Planning

Workflow Management

SOP Development

Process Documentation

Business Analysis

Client Management

Quality Assurance

Experience with Airtable or similar project-management/business systems is strongly preferred.

What We’re Looking For

You should be able to look at an unclear or inefficient business process, understand how it currently operates, identify what needs improvement, and help turn it into a documented and repeatable operating system.

Strong candidates will have previous experience managing operational or client-facing projects from planning through implementation.

You should be:

Highly organized

Comfortable managing multiple deadlines

Strong at written documentation

Able to communicate clearly with clients and team members

Comfortable identifying problems and recommending solutions

Able to work independently without constant supervision

Detail-oriented without unnecessarily overcomplicating projects

Communication Expectations

Clear communication is important to this role.

You will be expected to:

Keep project records and statuses current

Communicate blockers or delays early

Provide concise progress updates

Document important project decisions

Ask questions when scope or requirements are unclear

Escalate pricing, contractual, scope, or major client issues rather than making unauthorized commitments

We value proactive communication and do not expect contractors to wait for meetings to raise important issues.

How We Work

JG Management Group provides the overall client relationship, approved scope, commercial terms, operating standards, and project direction.

The Operations Project Manager helps turn that approved scope into organized execution.

Depending on the project, you may work directly with:

JG Management leadership

Clients and client stakeholders

Operations/process specialists

Systems and automation specialists

Other approved project contractors

You will not be expected to independently negotiate pricing, modify client contracts, approve major expenses, or make commitments outside the approved project scope.

Engagement

This is a part-time independent contractor engagement, initially expected to run approximately 1–3 months and remain under 30 hours per week.

There is potential for ongoing work as JG Management's client volume grows.

When Applying

Please include:

A brief summary of your operations/project-management experience.

An example of a business process or operation you helped improve.

Examples of SOPs, workflows, process maps, dashboards, or operating systems you have created.

The project-management and business systems you are experienced with.

Your current weekly availability.
